These templates follow a naming convention that establishes a common means to name unclassified, semi-generic vehicles. The naming is arranged into two groups - Aircraft_ and Weapons_ - and the names are designed to be as short as possible, yet convey information about the function/mission of the vehicle. The sections below will detail the structure of the naming convention. The templates currently available include: **AIRCRAFT** .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :align: left :widths: 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 * - Fighter - Attack - Bomber - ISR - AEW - Tanker - Cargo and Transport - Maritime Patrol - Drone * - F-H4-21C-1_ - A-M4-22A-1_ - B-H3-81A-1_ - R-MJ-11A-1_ - E-HJ-41A-1_ - K-MJ-21A-1_ - C-HJ-41A-1_ - P-MJ-21A-1_ - D-L4-11V-1_ * - F-H4-22A-1_ - - B-H1-80W-1_ - - - - - - D-L4-11Z-1_ * - F-H4-22B-1_ - - B-H4-40W-1_ - - - - - - * - F-L4-11A-1_ - - - - - - - - * - F-L4-11C-1_ - - - - - - - - **WEAPONS** .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :align: left :widths: 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 * - Air-to-air - Surface-to-air - Air-to-ground - Air-launched decoy - Air-launched drone - Ground-launched drone - Guided bomb units - Munitions - Fuel Tanks * - AIM-MR-1_ - MIM-MR-1_ - AGM-CM-1_ - ADM-MR-1_ - AQM-MR-1_ - BQM-MR-1_ - GBU-S-1_ - MUN-B-1_ - TNK-370-1_ * - AIM-SR-1_ - RIM-MR-1_ - AGM-SR-1_ - - - - - MUN-R-1_ - * - - FIM-SR-1_ - BGM-CM-1_ - - - - - - * - - - RGM-CM-1_ - - - - - - * - - - UGM-CM-1_ - - - - - - .. _Aircraft: **Aircraft** ============ Aircraft names are composed of four sections, separated by dashes. Section 1 ~~~~~~~~~ The first section is a single letter that defines the primary definition/function of the aircraft, which can be: - A: Attack_ - B: Bomber_ - C: Cargo_ - D: Drone_ - E: AEW_ - F: Fighter_ - K: Tanker_ - P: Maritime_ - R: ISR_ Section 2 ~~~~~~~~~ The second section is variable, depending on the type of aircraft. It consists of two letters/numbers. The first letter defines the weight class (L=Light, M=Medium, H=Heavy). The second letter/number is type dependent. *Fighters, Bombers, Drones, and Attack Aircraft* ------------------------------------------------ For attack aircraft, fighters, and bombers, a number is used to denote the generation: - 3: Third Gen - 4: Fourth Gen - 5: Fifth Gen - 6: Sixth Gen *Recon/ISR, AEW/AWACS, Tankers, Cargo/Transports, and Patrol Aircraft* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For ISR aircraft, AEW aircraft, tankers, cargo/transport aircraft, and maritime patrol aircraft, a letter defines the type of propulsion: - J: Turbojet/Turbofan - P: Propeller Section 3 ~~~~~~~~~ The third section is composed of two numbers and a letter. The first number is the number of engines, the second number is the number of vertical tails, and the last letter denotes the method of pitch control. This can be: - A: Aft Stab (conventional stabilizer/elevator control) - B: Both Stabs/Canards - C: Canard (canard control) - V: V-Tail - W: Wing - Z: Inverted V-Tail Section 4 ~~~~~~~~~ The final section is a number that indicates a variant. It starts with 1 and increments as each new type of aircraft in that specific category is defined.
