This 'list of aircraft' is sorted alphabetically, beginning with the name of the manufacturer (or, in certain cases, designer). It is an ''inclusive'' list rather than an ''exclusive'' one, meaning that where an
aircraft is known under multiple names, designations, or manufacturers, each of these is listed.
This list does not generally include variants or subtypes of the aircraft themselves (although there is considerable difference among various manufacturers and designation systems as to what constitutes a new aircraft as opposed to a variant of an existing type).
The size of the list has required it to be broken into:
'
A'
'
B'
'
C-D'
'
E-H'
'
I-M'
'
N-S'
'
T-Z'
