Below check the specific characteristics of the aircraft you are looking for. You can select multiple items for each characteristic. The results will be filtered automatically. 

Avro-Canada C102 Jetliner

The Avro-Canada C102 was the first jet airliner to fly after the Comet. It has a cruciform, nearly rectanglar tail with curved dorsal fin, engines in long paired, but separated nacelles under the wings, and a nicely streamlined nose. (photo: WikiMedia)

Avro-Canada CF-100 Canuck

The first Canadian jet fighter can be recognised by its straight wings, large engine nacelles at the side of the fuselage with conical bodies in the inlet. Also, it has a cruciform, straight tail.

The canard configuration is already a typical feature of the Avtek 400, but the canard being placed on top of the cockpit makes this bizprop with pusher propellers a unique aircraft. (photo: Peter Davis)

Ayres (Snow/Rockwell) S-2

Originally designed by Snow but even­tually developed further by Rockwell and Ayres this crop spraying aircraft has a low trapezium vertical stabiliser as key feature. Also it has two tubes holding the main gear, and no wing struts. It comes as single and dual seat versions, as well as with piston and turbine engines.

Baade 152

The first German jet airliner has a typical look with its tandem landing gear, high mounted wings and engines in paired nacelles hanging on long pylons below the wings. (photo: Giso Löwe/WkiMedia)

Noticable on this aircraft are the relatively short landing gear, the low vertical stabiliser with bullet fairing on top but no dorsal fin in front, a wide fuselage (giving it a "fatty" appearance) and a pointed nose.

BAC 221

This research airplane sits high on its gear, that has two wheels on the nose leg. Typical are the bulges above the wings, next to the fuselage and just aft of the air intakes, which are below the wings. Other feature is the nose, that can be tiled down like on the Concorde.

The Beechcraft Denali very much looks like the PC-12. The main distinctive features of the Denali are D-shaped cockpit side windows, oval cabin windows, a rudder ending above the tail cone and no bullet fairing in front of the horizontal stabiliser. 

Beech 60 Duke

This piston twin looks fast, and it is indeed a high performance aircraft. The Duke has a long nose, short gear, typical Beechcraft triangular main gear doors and a highly swept vertical fin. Some have winglets, like the one on the photo.

Beechcraft 17 Staggerwing

The large diameter fuselage of the Beech 17 tapers very quickly after the cabin, one of its recognition points. It also has a retractable gear. Unusual is that the lower wing is staggered in front of the upper wing. Normally the stagger is the other way around.
