Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

Usage

This template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox aircraft begin}}.

This template provides general data on programs to develop types (and subtypes) of aircraft and aircraft engines, but not on the aircraft or engines themselves or their technical specifications.

{{Infobox aircraft begin}} and this template must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).

Examples

For an article on an aircraft program, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin |parameters go here }}{{Infobox aircraft program |parameters go here }} |}

Blank template

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
 |name = REQUIRED <!-- avoid stating manufacturer (it's stated 3 lines below) unless name used by other aircraft manufacturers -->
 |image = <!-- in the ''File:filename'' format with no image tags.  In-flight images are preferred for aircraft. -->
 |caption = <!-- Image caption; if it isn't descriptive, please skip. -->
 |alt = <!-- Alt text for main image -->

Parameters

aim

a description of the aircraft or engine required or specified. Example:

All-weather naval air-superiority fighter

requirement

a formal name or a number for the requirement. Examples:

OR.229
Advanced Tactical Fighter Statement of Operational Need

issuer

the issuer of the requirement or specification. This might be a government department, ministry, or agency rather than a service. Note that some programs might be jointly issued by more than one department or even more than one government. Example:

Reich Air Ministry

service

the service for which the aircraft or engine is required. Note that some programs might be to procure an aircraft for more than one service. Where a service itself issues the requirement, this field is redundant; do not use it under these circumstances. Example:

United States Air Force.

value

the value of the program. Example:

$US 323 billion over 30 years

initiated

the date that the program was initiated

expected

the date that a current program is expected to be completed

proposals

links to aircraft or engines proposed by manufacturers. Examples:

Boeing 818
Unnamed proposal by Mitsubishi

prototypes

any prototypes evaluated for the program. Example:

Northrop YF-17

concluded

the date that the program was concluded (whatever the outcome)

outcome

the outcome of the program. Example:

Dassault Mirage III selected for production
program abandoned due to budget cuts
program merged with TFX Program

predecessors: predecessor programs that were abandoned in favour of this one, or merged into this one
successors: programs in favour of which this program was abandoned, or into which this program was merged
related: related programs. For example, the aircraft program for which an engine program is undertaken, or a program for a naval equivalent of a land-based aircraft program.
