[edit] Infobox Aircraft
{{Infobox Aircraft}}
This infobox is used to summarize an aircraft's key points. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use {{Aircraft specifications}}.
Only |name=, |type=, and |manufacturer= are required fields. All others are optional, though some have guidelines you should follow to achieve the best, most consistent appearance.
{{Infobox Aircraft
|name = REQUIRED <!-- avoid stating manufacturer (it's stated 3 lines below) unless name used by other aircraft manufacturers -->
|image = <!--in the ''Image:filename'' format with no image tags-->
|caption = <!--Image caption; if it isn't descriptive, please skip-->
|type = REQUIRED
|national origin = <!-- Use the main nation (ie. UK), not constituent country (England); don't use "EU". List collaborative programs of only 2 or 3 nations; for more than 3, use "Multi-national:. -->
|manufacturer = REQUIRED
|designer = <!--Only appropriate for single designers, not project leaders-->
|first flight = <!--If this hasn't happened, skip this field!-->
|introduction = <!--Date the aircraft entered or will enter military or revenue service-->
|retired = <!--Date the aircraft left service. If vague or more than a few dates, skip this -->
|status = <!--In most cases, redundant; use sparingly-->
|primary user = <!-- list only one user; for military aircraft, this is a nation or a service arm. Please DON'T add those tiny flags, as they limit horizontal space. -->
|more users = <!--Limited to three in total; separate using <br> -->
|produced = <!--Years in production (eg. 1970-1999) if still in active use but no longer built -->
|number built =
|program cost = <!--Total program cost-->
|unit cost = <!--Incremental or flyaway cost for military or retail price for commercial aircraft-->
|developed from = <!--The aircraft which formed the basis for this aircraft-->
|variants with their own articles = <!--Variants OF this aircraft-->
}}
Please note that if there are more than three other users, only the primary user should be listed. For military aircraft, the "user" is the nation operating the aircraft; if more than one of its service arms used the aircraft, that can be noted in the "Operators" section of the article.
