Here are the Aircraft Certification categories as defined by the FAA: Standard Airworthiness Certification Categories: Aerobatic:An aircraft capable of performing aerobatic flight with limited restrictions, with a maximum of 9 seats plus the pilot and a weight limit of 12,500 pounds. Commuter:A multi...
Generally speaking, all military aircraft fall into one of the following categories: fighters, which secure control of essential airspaces by driving off or destroying enemy aircraft; bombers, which are larger, heavier, and less-maneuverable craft designed to attack surface targets with bombs or ...
Most of the configurations that have been studied fall into the above categories. However, to date, only two VTOL configurations have come to fruition. These are the vectored-thrust and tilt-rotor systems represented by the Harrier and the Osprey, respectively. However, currently under development...
As mentioned before, not all these aircraft manufacturers compete in the same market segments; they are normally specialized in one or two of the categories in which commercial aircraft can be classified according to their capacity and range. In the segment of aircraft with more than 120 seats ...
Aircraft are categorized by ICAO according to the wake turbulence they produce. Because wake turbulence is generally related to the weight of an aircraft, these categories are based on one of four weight categories:[36] light, medium, heavy, and super.[37]参考译文:根据国际民航组织的规定,飞机根...
Equally significant progress was made in naval flying in World War I. Three distinct categories of combat aircraft emerged: long-range overwater reconnaissance and antisubmarine aircraft operating from shore bases, shorter-range floatplane reconnaissance andfighter aircraft, and ship-borne aircraft. Long...
This book addresses this safety-crucial topic and in studying this handbook, pilots and Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) will gain the necessary knowledge on the subject of aircraft weight and balance, in preparation for safe flight and maintenanc
(= .09 ton/ft2). Additionally, the derived single-wheel load is a function of the subgrade strength. The ACN is defined for only four subgrade categories (high, medium, low, and ultralow). ACN values for selected aircraft have been calculated by the International Civil Aviation Organization ...

and support a wide range of applications including military and commercial applications. The smallest categories of UAVs are often accompanied by ground-control stations consisting of laptop computers and other components that are small enough to be carried easily with the aircraft in small vehicles, ...
