This list of United States Tri-Service aircraft designations includes prototype, pre-production and operational type designations under the United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system, which replaced the 1924 Air Force, 1922 Navy, and 1956 Army designation systems in 1962.
Multiple designation systems have been used to specify United States military aircraft.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{US Army airplanes | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{US Army airplanes | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
From an alternative military designation: This is a redirect from an alternative military designation to a more common military designation of an aircraft, vehicle, or other item. When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
