| |
| − | '''Editors beware:''' formatting of code to make it "look nice" is very likely to inadvertently introduce leading and trailing blank lines into the template output.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This template has provisions for four sections: General characteristics, performance, armament, and avionics. What follows is list of the parameters that appear in each section, and specialised instructions for their use where necessary.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most numerical quantities are divided into 'main' and 'alt'. For example, the quantity 'empty weight' is specified by the parameters {{{empty weight main}}} and {{{empty weight alt}}}. For a U.S. aircraft, which are measured using the [[English unit|English System of units]], the value for 'main' would be given in pounds (lb), and the value for 'alt' in kilograms (kg). Some other aircraft are measured using the [[metric system]], so they will have kg for 'main' and lb for 'alt'.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because of the [[m:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions]] this template uses, all values will automatically appear in the article once they have been specified. For example, if I specify <code>|area main=1,000 ft²|area alt=93 m²</code>, the text
| |
| − | * '''Wing area:''' 1,000 ft² (93 m²)
| |
| − | will automatically appear in the article.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the following instructions, parameters are referred to thus: {{{parameter name}}}. When indicating which values should be entered for each parameter, the notation <code>|parameter name=vale</code> will be used.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Non-specifications parameters ===
| |
| − | The template uses three paramters that are not directly related to the specs: {{{plane or copter?}}}, {{{jet or prop?}}}, and {{{ref}}}. The first two control template output; the last one provides citation information.
| |
| − | ;{{{plane or copter?}}}:If the aircraft is a rotorcraft (including helicopters, gyrodynes, tiltrotors, etc.), the value for this parameter should be <code>|plane or copter?=copter</code>. If it is a fixed wing aircraft, the value should be specified as <code>|plane or copter?=plane</code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{jet or prop?}}}:For planes that are powered by jet engines or rockets, specify <code>|jet or prop?=jet</code>. For those powered by propellers, specify <code>|jet or prop?=prop</code>. Occasionally, aircraft have both jet engines and propellers; for these, specify <code>|jet or prop?=both</code>. Unpowered aircraft such as gliders should be denoted by <code>|jet or prop?=neither</code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{ref}}}:Used to cite the sources for the specifications section. Example: <code><nowiki>|ref=The Encyclopedia of World Aircraft<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Donald|first=David|year=1997|title=Boeing Model 299 (B-17 Flying Fortress|encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of World Aircraft: 1|location=Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada|publisher=Prospero Books|id=ISBN 1-85605-375-X|pages=pages 154-155}}</ref></nowiki></code>. See [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]] for information on the citation templates available and how to use them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === General characteristics ===
| |
| − | ;{{{crew}}}:The number of people required to operate the aircraft. If you wish to specify the roles played by each crew member, do so in something similar to the following format: <code>|crew=3 (pilot, copilot, flight engineer)</code>
| |
| − | ;{{{capacity}}}:The number of passengers the aircraft can carry if the plane is commercial. For general aviation aircraft, this should usually be specified <var>x</var> number of passengers: <code>|capacity=88 passengers</code> and can include crew. Most military transports can be used for patients. In this case, something similar to the system used for the C-130 Hercules may be in order:
| |
| − | <pre>|capacity=<br/>
| |
| − | ** 92 passengers ''or''
| |
| − | ** 64 airborne troops ''or''
| |
| − | ** 74 litter patients with 2 medical personnel
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | ;{{{payload main}}}, {{{payload alt}}}, {{{payload more}}}:Specifies the amount of cargo that can be carried by an aircraft. For 'main' and 'alt', specify the weight of the payload. If applicable, use {{{payload more|}}} to specify the type of payload usually carried, such as fertiliser for agricultural aircraft or mail for mailplanes.
| |
| − | ;{{{length main}}}, {{{length alt}}}:The length of the aircraft from nose to tail. For helicopters, this means the length of the fuselage without taking the rotor into consideration.
| |
| − | ;{{{span main}}}, {{{span alt}}}:The wingspan of fixed wing aircraft, or the main rotor diameter for rotorcraft.
| |
| − | ;{{{height main}}}, {{{height alt}}}
| |
| − | ;{{{area main}}}, {{{area alt}}}:The area of the wing of a fixed wing aircraft, or the total area of all main rotors for rotorcraft (does not include maneuvering rotors).
| |
| − | ;{{{airfoil}}}:For fixed wing aircraft, the type of airfoil the wing uses. Eg, see [[NACA airfoil]] for information on airfoil types.
| |
| − | ;{{{empty weight main}}}, {{{empty weight alt}}}:The weight of the aircraft when unloaded—no crew, passengers, cargo, or fuel.
| |
| − | ;{{{loaded weight main}}}, {{{loaded weight alt}}}:The weight of the aircraft when loaded for a 'typical' mission. This statistic is cited for almost any aircraft, but it is relatively arbitrary, so only use statistics given in sources.
| |
| − | ;{{{useful load main}}}, {{{useful load alt}}}:The difference between the aircraft's maximum weight and empty weight.
| |
| − | ;{{{max takeoff weight main}}}, {{{max takeoff weight alt}}}, {{{max takeoff weight more}}}:The heaviest the aircraft can be and still get off the ground.
| |
| − | ;{{{more general}}}: A place to put anything relevant not included already under the general parameters eg "Fuel Capacity: 500 gallons"
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Engines ===
| |
| − | If there is any information that needs to be added after the engine specs, it should be added using the parameter {{{more general}}}. eg
| |
| − | <code><nowiki>|more general=engines coupled through gearbox</nowiki></code>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Propeller driven aircraft ====
| |
| − | ;{{{number of props}}}:The number of engines that drive the propellers. For fixed wing aircraft, this is usually—but not always—the same as the number of propellers.
| |
| − | ;{{{engine (prop)}}}:The model of engine the aircraft uses. Example: <code><nowiki>|engine (prop)=[[Pratt & Whitney R-4360]]-53 "Wasp Major"</nowiki></code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{type of prop}}}:The configuration of the engine. Examples: <code><nowiki>|type of prop=liquid-cooled [[V12 engine]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>|type of prop=[[turboprop]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>|type of prop=[[radial engine]]</nowiki></code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{power main}}}, ({{{power alt}}}):The power output of the engine.
| |
| − | ;{{{power original}}}:For some engines the power output may have been originally measured in an unconventional unit. For example, older German engines originally had their power measured in [[Pferdestärke]] (PS). Sample usage of this parameter: <code><nowiki>|power original=<ref>Originally measured as 15,000 [[Pferdestärke|PS]].</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | ;{{{power more}}}:More information on the power rating, such as the rpm of the engine.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Jet aircraft ====
| |
| − | ;{{{number of jets}}}:The number of jet engines or rockets the aircraft has.
| |
| − | ;{{{engine (jet)}}}:The model of jet or rocket used by the aircraft
| |
| − | ;{{{type of jet}}}:The configuration of jet, such as [[turbojet]], [[turbofan]], [[thermojet]], [[rocket]], etc.
| |
| − | ;{{{afterburning thrust main}}}, {{{afterburning thrust alt}}}:Thrust of the engine with afterburner, if applicable.
| |
| − | ;{{{thrust main}}}, {{{thrust alt}}}:The thrust of the engine; if the engine has afterburners, this parameter denotes dry thrust.
| |
| − | ;{{{afterburning thrust original}}}, {{{thrust original}}}:Some engines had their original measurements taken in unconventional units. For example, many Russian and Soviet engines were originally rated using [[kilogram-force]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Propeller model and configuration ===
| |
| − | ;{{{propeller or rotor?}}}:If it is a propeller on a fixed wing aircraft, specify <code>|propeller or rotor?=propeller</code>. If it is a rotor on a helicopter or other rotary wing aircraft, specify <code>|propeller or rotor=rotor</code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{propellers}}}:The model and configuration of the propellers. Example: <code><nowiki>|propellers=Three-bladed [[Hamilton Standard]]</nowiki></code>.
| |
| − | ;{{{number of propellers per engine}}}:With some aircraft, multiple propellers will be driven off one engine. Use this parameter to specify the number per engine.
| |
| − | ;{{{propeller diameter main}}}, {{{propeller diameter alt}}}:Used to indicate the diameter of the propellers. For helicopters, the rotor diameter was already specified using the {{{span}}} parameter.
