    Uploaded by

    Chris Hauser
    This document discusses features used to recognize aircraft types. It describes wing positions like high wings and low wings. It also describes engine positions like pods and nacelles. Tail configurations like conventional tails and T-tails are discussed. Wing sweep and nose shapes are provided as recognition features for airliners. Details like rotor blades and landing gear are given for recognizing helicopters. The document also notes codes used for describing aircraft types in documentation like cruise speed and ceiling altitude.
