The aircraft model type refers to a specific commercial model of machines capable of atmospheric flight. This type includes models of both manned and unmanned aircraft.

• Models of fixed-wing aircraft such as airplanes and gliders (Concorde, De Havilland Express, Aichi B7A, Junkers Ju 390)

• Models of lighter-than-air aircraft such as airships and balloons (e.g. Hindenberg class airship, Skyship 600, SVAM CA-80)

• Models of rotary-wing aircraft such as autogyros, gyrodynes and helicopters (e.g. PZL SW-4 , Aerospatiale Puma, Fairey FB 1 Gyrodyne)

• Instances of particular model of aircraft (e.g. Enola Gay, Hemisphere Dancer, Spirit of Dubai)

• Use the Aircraft type for these.

• One-of-a-kind aircraft (e.g. R100, 1912 Biplane, Rigault RP.01B)

• Use the Aircraft type for these.

• Aircraft engines (e.g. Kuznetsov NK-12, CFM International CFM56, Pratt Whitney F135)

• Use the Engine type for these.

• Rocket ships and satellites (e.g. UoSat OSCAR 9, Space Shuttle Discovery, Nozomi)

• Use the Spacecraft type for these.

• Munitions that travel through air using rocket thrust such as unguided missiles and rockets (e.g. UGM 133 Trident II, Exocet, RS-82 Rocket)

• Aircraft manufacturers and designers (e.g. Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Nakajima Aircraft Company, Sukhoi)

• Use appropriate type (e.g. Aircraft manufacturer or Aircraft designer).

• Airlines (e.g. Air Namibia, Spanair, All Nippon Airways)

• Use the Airline type for these.
