The Sky at Your Fingertips

Aircraft specifications, traced back to the documents that issued them.

Specifications you can check

Most aircraft data on the web is copied from other websites. This one is being rebuilt from the documents that issued the figures — type certificates and manufacturers’ airport-planning manuals — with the document, section and page recorded next to each number.

352 aircraft types

From 43 manufacturers, each with a page of its own: certified weights, dimensions, performance and capacity, and the variants underneath it.

204 figures carry their document

Read from 17 certificates and airport-planning manuals so far. A mark beside a number opens the revision, section and page it came from. That is a small fraction of the library, and the rest is being re-sourced the same way.

Built by a former air traffic controller

Which is why the fields are the ones a controller, a dispatcher or a pilot actually looks up — wake category, approach speed, runway length, ICAO designator — rather than whatever a data vendor happened to sell.
