About World Aviation Guide

World Aviation Guide is an independent site for people who enjoy learning about aircraft and the people, companies and places behind them. It covers aircraft, airlines, airports, manufacturers and aviation history, from early experiments in flight to modern airliners and helicopters.

The site came online on 27 September 2026. It is still young, and new guides will be added gradually. The aim is to build a useful collection that is enjoyable to explore, whether you already know your aircraft types or have just found one you want to learn more about.

This is an enthusiast’s project. I research each guide and include sources for further reading, but aviation is a vast subject and mistakes can happen. Details may also differ between variants, operators and periods of service. If you spot an error or have a reliable source that would improve an article, please get in touch. Include a link to the page and the detail you think needs correcting; I am happy to review and correct it.

Aircraft guides generally cover a type or family rather than giving every variant its own article. Where specifications vary, I try to make that clear rather than suggest that one set of figures describes every aircraft in the family.

Many images on World Aviation Guide are AI-generated illustrations. They help bring the guides to life, but they are not documentary photographs. An image may show an invented airline, livery, registration or set of markings, and visual details may not match a particular real aircraft. Generated images are identified in their captions. For the appearance or history of a specific aircraft, please rely on verified photographs and the sources listed with the guide.

World Aviation Guide is not affiliated with the manufacturers, airlines, airports or other organisations it covers. It is a growing enthusiast’s guide, and I hope each new article gives you another reason to keep exploring.
