This template acts to provide common formatting for other aircraft-related infoboxes. It (and any boxes that follow it) must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |parameters go here
}}
|}

For an article on an aircraft type, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |parameters go here
}}{{Infobox aircraft type
 |parameters go here
}}
|}

Or, for an article on an aero engine, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |parameters go here
}}{{Infobox aircraft engine
 |parameters go here
}}
|}

Multiple templates can be stacked one after the other. For example, where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (e.g., The Spirit of St. Louis, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |parameters go here
}}{{Infobox aircraft type
 |parameters go here
}}{{Infobox aircraft career
 |parameters go here
}}
|}

Other modules

Other modules currently available for the modular Infobox aircraft are:

{{Infobox aircraft type}}

General data fields relevant to an aircraft type (or subtype), such as role, manufacturer, number produced, date of first flight (but not technical specifications)

{{Infobox aircraft career}}

Data fields relevant to an individually significant airframe, such as construction number, registration number, military serial, current preservation status.

{{Infobox aircraft engine}}

General data fields relevant to an aircraft engine, such as type, manufacturer, major applications (but not technical specifications)

{{Infobox aircraft program}}

General data on programs to develop types (and subtypes) of aircraft and aircraft engines, but not on the aircraft or engines themselves or their technical specifications

Parameters

name

The subject of the article. When naming aircraft and engines, 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 name itself is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox.

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.

Template with notes

{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |name = REQUIRED <!-- avoid stating manufacturer (it's stated 3 lines below) unless name used by other aircraft manufacturers -->
 |image = <!-- in the ''File:filename'' format with no image tags.  In-flight images are preferred for aircraft. -->
 |image_border = <!-- Add "yes" (without quotes) to add a thin border to the image -->
 |alt = <!-- Alt text for main image -->
 |caption = <!-- Image caption; if it isn't descriptive, please skip. -->
 |long caption = <!-- A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Text is left-justified in the infobox. -->
}}

Example

 |name = Foo
 |image = Foo.jpg
 |image_border = yes
 |size = 300px
 |alt = an aircraft in flight
 |caption = The Foo on its first flight

Tracking categories

• Category:No local image but image on Wikidata (21) – Used by Template:Wikidata image to track articles where an infobox has no image but Wikidata has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or |nocat_wdimage=yes to the infobox.
