Merger

No I like these pages seperate as Millitry aircraft and private/civillen aircraft are used for different things as such have different ablitys, roles, systems etc! -- Awar 16:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC).Reply

No. I agree for the above reason. Putting the two articles together would result in a messy hatchet job. They represent two different subjects entirely. It would be best to leave the articles separate at least for the time being to let them mature by themselves. Nodekeeper 09:30, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes. I don't see a real distinction between Airwolf and the X-fighter from Xmen. They are all fictional aircraft. Adriaan Renting 22-09-2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.87.1.33 (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

This page needs some careful revision. Several of the "fictitious" aircraft listed here are not fictitious at all, for example: A-12 Avenger II - This is a cancelled fighter development program. Although never built there is nothing fictitious about it. F-108 Rapier - Also a cancelled fighter program, full-scale mock-up was built. This was an actual aircraft, if never in production. Nazi Fighter - Not a fictitious aircraft, a stand-in for another type perhaps, but both the Pilatus P-2 and the Messerschmitt BF 109 are quite real. Yak 12 - Actually a painted T-33 (as accurately described) but not an actual Yak 12, which is very different type of aircraft. Arguably fictitious.

I have since corrected all of these errors and one or two more. Jacquesdav (talk) 19:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pictures

edit

Can Wiki "List of..."'s contain pictures? How about a gallery at the bottom with random selections of aircraft? --70.128.112.146 (talk)

ADF-01 Falken?

edit

It redirects to this page but there's no mention of it in the article. It used to have its own article, but then was merged and then deleted from this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.156.203.66 (talk) 18:23, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Falken

edit

Should we make another article on the ADF-01 FALKEN? Ace Combat wouldn't be as popular as it is today without this Star Wars expy. --190.44.72.119 (talk) 21:36, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Quiet possibly yes TheBlitzer07 (talk) 07:49, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

You're replying to a comment from over ten years ago. The ADF-01 FALKEN is not notable enough to warrant its own article. Click here for the deletion log of that very article. A simple mention on this page and the relevant game pages is enough for Wikipedia; further information should be kept off of Wikipedia. We already have an Ace Combat wiki to go more in-depth with this information. ~SlyCooperFan1 18:41, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I see no mention of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang

edit

As silly of an aircraft as it it, being fictional within a fictional story, It is still a fictional aircraft. Lee Anderson, AF Cadet & EE Student (talk) 17:16, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yup, if you have a reference you can certainly add it - Ahunt (talk) 17:24, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
The article on the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang shows the flying car. There is a separate article, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (car), on the flying car itself, and then there's an airship too, Chitty Bang Bang (airship).

Two missing films

edit

As soon as I saw the title "fictional aircraft", two films popped into my head:

Neither appears on the page. Varlaam (talk) 01:59, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not to mention the U.S. Air Force's new Truncheon Bomber being built by Yoyodyne Industries, a dubious enterprise being run by Red Lectroids as a cover for their nefarious activities, in Buckaroo Bonzai

IMPDB

edit

While Ipdb.org is a wiki there seems to be a fine line here for the mere fact that the site does offers screen shots (pictures) of the references in question. If the site was all text, that would be one thing, but with picture proof looking right at you, if kinda hard to deny. Now granted some of the screen shots are just aircraft only, but there are plenty of images with the actor and the aircraft in the same frame.--‎Jetijonez Fire! 05:18, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The problem is that identifying aircraft types from photographs is considered WP:OR. We really need text in a WP:RS to satisfy WP:V requirements. - Ahunt (talk) 10:42, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Blue gold flying wing

edit

In Clive Cussler's Blue Gold, a flying wing plays a significant role. I can't find the exact name of it now, but it is developed from the Northrop N-1M (written by Clussler as 'N1-M'). Kdammers (talk) 20:11, 19 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Conehead" seekers (Transformers)

edit

Decepticons Dirge, Ramjet, and Thrust transformed into F-15s with fictional modifications (i.e. different wings and tailfins). Would they be alright to list here despite being partially based on a real aircraft? ChonkyTomcat (talk) 10:21, 25 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
