Templat:Infobox Aircraft Type/doc

Usage

This template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox Aircraft Begin}}

This template provides general data on types (and subtypes) of aircraft, but not technical specifications. It is built in a modular fashion allowing it to be combined with other infoboxes, in particular, {{Infobox Aircraft Career}}.

{{Infobox Aircraft Begin}}, this template, (and {{Infobox Aircraft Career}}, if applicable) must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).

Examples

For an article on an aircraft type, use:

{|{{Infobox Aircraft Begin
 |parameters go here
}}{{Infobox Aircraft Type
 |parameters go here
}}
|}

For a case where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (eg, The Spirit of St. Louis, use:

{|{{Infobox Aircraft Begin
 |parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox Aircraft Type
 |parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox Aircraft Career
 |parameters go here
}}
|}
