Àdàkọ:Infobox Aircraft Type
This àdàkọ employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
Usage
àtúnṣeThis template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox Aircraft Begin}}
This template provides general data on types (and subtypes) of aircraft, but not technical specifications. It is built in a modular fashion allowing it to be combined with other infoboxes, in particular, {{Infobox Aircraft Career}}.
{{Infobox Aircraft Begin}}, this template, (and {{Infobox Aircraft Career}}, if applicable) must be enclosed by {|
and |}
that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).
Examples
àtúnṣe
For an article on an aircraft type, use:
{|{{Infobox Aircraft Begin
|parameters go here
}}{{Infobox Aircraft Type
|parameters go here
}}
|}
For a case where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (eg, The Spirit of St. Louis, use:
{|{{Infobox Aircraft Begin
|parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox Aircraft Type
|parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox Aircraft Career
|parameters go here
}}
|}
Parameters
àtúnṣe
- type
- The aircraft's role, eg: airliner, military trainer aircraft, Agricultutal aircraft
- national origin
- The country where the aircraft was first manufactured. Use the main nation (ie. UK), not constituent country (England); don't use "EU". List collaborative programs of only 2 or 3 nations; for more than 3, use "Multi-national
- manufacturer
- The firm which manufactured the aircraft.
- designer
- The person or persons who designed the aircraft. Only appropriate for single designers, not project leaders
- first flight
- The date that the aircraft first flew. If this hasn't happened, skip this field - don't speculate.
- introduction
- Date the aircraft entered or will enter military or revenue service
- retired
- Date the aircraft left military or revenue service. If vague or more than a few dates, skip this
- status
- Status of the programme, e.g. "Prototypes only", "Abandoned project". In most cases, redundant; use sparingly
- primary user
- list only one user; for military aircraft, this is a nation or a service arm. Please DON'T add those tiny flags, as they limit horizontal space.
- more users
- Limited to three in total; separate using
- produced
- Years in production (eg. 1970-1999) if still in active use but no longer built
- number built
- Number of flight capable aircraft completed.
- program cost
- Total program cost
- unit cost
- Incremental or flyaway cost for military or retail price for commercial aircraft
- developed from
- The aircraft which formed the basis for this aircraft
- variants with their own articles
- Variants OF this aircraft
