Aircraft appearance constellation _ aircraft appearance constellation

According to the purpose, it is divided into military aircraft and civil aircraft. Military aircraft include fighters, attack planes, bombers, fighter-bombers, anti-submarine aircraft, reconnaissance planes, early warning aircraft, electronic countermeasures, aerial tankers, military transport planes, military trainers and so on. Civil aircraft include: transport aircraft (passenger aircraft, passenger and cargo aircraft, cargo aircraft), sports aircraft, business jets, agricultural aircraft, experimental research aircraft and other special-purpose aircraft.

Aircraft can also be classified according to the shape, quantity and relative position of its components. According to the number of wings, it can be divided into monoplane, biplane and multi-wing aircraft. According to the position of the wing relative to the fuselage, it can be divided into lower monoplane, middle monoplane and upper monoplane. According to the plane shape of the wing, it can be divided into straight wing aircraft, swept wing aircraft, swept wing aircraft and delta wing aircraft. According to the position of the flat tail and whether there is a flat tail, it can be divided into normal layout aircraft (with a flat tail behind the wing), canard aircraft (with a small wing in the front fuselage) and tailless aircraft (without a flat tail); The normal layout of aircraft includes single vertical tail, double vertical tail, multiple vertical tails and V-tail. According to the type of propulsion device, it can be divided into propeller plane and jet plane; According to the engine type, it can be divided into piston aircraft, turboprop aircraft and jet aircraft; According to the number of engines, it can be divided into single-engine aircraft, double-engine aircraft and multi-engine aircraft. According to the type of landing gear, it can be divided into land aircraft, seaplane and amphibious aircraft. It can also be classified according to the flight performance of aircraft: according to the flight speed of aircraft, it can be divided into subsonic aircraft, supersonic aircraft and hypersonic aircraft According to the voyage of the aircraft, it can be divided into short-range aircraft, medium-range aircraft and long-range aircraft.
