Aircraft name guideline

[edit]

Articles about aircraft types should generally be placed under a title named in <Make> <Model> format - for example "Panavia Tornado". If an aircraft type has several names used by reliable sources none of which match the format described here then the talk page of that article should be used to get consensus of which title to use. The article title needs to include the make because many aircraft model names are too ambiguous by themselves (Hawk for example). Rather than ad hoc disambiguation, it is better to have a consistent standard, which also happens to be the de facto standard in use. The inclusion of the makers name in the article title is also consistent with articles about cars (see WP:WPAC) and aero-engines.

  • The make should be a short form of the manufacturer's name (or the designing organisation if that is different), as would be commonly used (see Wikipedia:Common name).
  • For most aircraft types the model consists of an alphanumeric designation (e.g. "A380"), a name, or both (e.g. "MS.755 Fleuret" or "Nimrod MRA4").
