[edit] Aircraft Infobox

{{Infobox Aircraft}} This infobox is used to summarize an aircraft's key points. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use {{Aircraft specifications}}.

[edit] Usage

Only |name=, |type=, and |manufacturer= are required fields. All others are optional, though some have guidelines you should follow to achieve the best, most consistent appearance.

{{infobox Aircraft
  |name = #REQUIRED <!--please avoid stating manufacturer in this field; it's stated two lines below -->
  |type = #REQUIRED
  |logo = <!--ONLY for an individual logo of the aircraft model, (NOT the main manufacturer logo)-->
  |manufacturer = #REQUIRED
  |image = <!--in the ''image:filename'' format, no image tags-->
  |caption = <!--image caption; if it isn't descriptive it should be left blank-->
  |designer = <!--only appropriate for single designers, not project leaders-->
  |first flight = <!--if it hasn't happened, leave it out!-->
  |introduction = <!--date the aircraft entered or will enter military or revenue service-->
  |retired = <!--date the aircraft left military or revenue service. If vague or multiples, it probably should be skipped-->
  |status = <!--in most cases, this field is redundant; use it sparingly-->
  |primary user = <!--please list only one user – for military aircraft, the user is a nation or a service arm. Do NOT add those tiny flags as they limit horizontal space.-->
  |more users = <!--limited to three "more users" total; please separate with <br/>-->
  |produced = <!--years in production, e.g. 1970-1999, if still in active use but no longer built-->
  |number built = 
  |program cost= <!-- total program cost. -->
  |unit cost = <!-- incremental or flyaway cost for military aircraft or retail price for commercial aircraft. -->
  |developed from = <!-- the aircraft which formed the basis for the topic type -->
  |variants with their own articles = <!-- variants OF the topic type -->
}}

Please note that if there are more than three other users, only the primary user should be listed. For military aircraft, the "user" is the nation operating the aircraft; if more than one of its service arms used the aircraft, that can be noted in the "Operators" section of the article.
