HB-Bxx balloons; HB-Cxx single-engined Cessnas under 5.7 tons; HB-Dxx and HB-Kxx other single-engined aircraft under 5.7 tons; HB-Fxx Swiss-produced aircraft like PC-6 and PC-12
This list is only of aircraft that have an article, indexed by aircraft registration "tail number" (civil registration or military serial number). The list includes aircraft that are notable either as an individual aircraft or have been involved in a notable accident or incident or are linked to a person notable enough to have a stand-alone Wikipedia article.
This is a list of aircraft by date and usage. The date shown is the introduction of the first model of a line but not the current model. For instance, while "the most popular" aircraft, such as Boeing 737 and 747 were introduced in 1960x, their recent models were revealed in the 21st century. [1]
A group of 1950s NACA research aircraft. As used here, an experimental or research and development aircraft, sometimes also called an X-plane, is one which is designed or substantially adapted to investigate novel flight technologies. [1] [2] [3]
