The {{Infobox aircraft}} can be used for any aeronautical item or initiative such as an aircraft, aircraft carrier, engine, or aircraft program. It is designed to display general characteristics and features of the item, along with its manufacturing details and history.

However, some parameters in the Infobox are only intended for specific types of items and are not recommended for use with other unrelated type of item or aircraft. If there is already a section discussing the specifications of the aeronautical item, the usage of specifications and performance parameters in the Infobox can be skipped.

It is recommended to specify the unit_pref parameter when entering data for unit-based parameters. Enter M for metric units or I for imperial units. If unit_pref is specified, do not enter the unit along with the value for unit-based parameters. If unit_pref is not specified, the unit should be added along with its value.

Parameters

name

The subject of the article. When naming aircraft, please do not repeat the name of the manufacturer unless the name would be otherwise ambiguous. For example, "P-51 Mustang" does not need to have "North American" in front of it: the aircraft name is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox. Some exceptions exist, such as aircraft which only have model numbers; e.g. "Boeing 707".

image: In the format filename.xxx format with or without 'File:' tag
size or image_size: Allows for the specification of image size; default is 250px.
alt: Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see WP:ALT for details.
image_border: set to yes to add a thin border to the image
caption: A short (one- or two-line) caption for the image. If it isn't descriptive, then please skip it. "Boeing 747" or "Boeing 747 in flight" should be patently obvious from the context and does not need to be captioned. "A Qantas Airlines Boeing 747-400 at Heathrow Airport in 2006" is an example of a useful caption. Captions will appeared centred in the infobox.
long caption: A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Long captions will appear left-justified in the infobox. Won't display if caption is defined.

prototypes

any prototype versions of the aircraft that were built.

civil_registration

the registration number assigned to the aircraft for civilian use.

type of aircraft carried, usually only for mothership aircraft
