Aircraft Identifier

killerwhale65 · Post by **killerwhale65** » 02 Dec 2003, 13:06

Hi,

For my Aircraft Identifier (see other post) i still need some help. I am still looking for visual differences (if any) between the following aircraft:
-A318 & A319
-B737-100 & B737-200
-B737-300/500/600/700
-MD81 & DC9
-B717,MD87 & MD88
-B757-200,B767-400 & B777-200
-MD82 & MD83
-RJ85,RJ100 & BAe146
-Saab2000 & BAe-ATP

please note that those differences should be easilly seen by eye, so things like X is 32cm longer than Y should be avoided!

thanks,

Matthias, a few small details.

-If I recall well difference between 318-319 can be spotted on the tailrudder (1pc vs 2pcs)

- on the 737NG the pitot-tubes are closer to the nose of the a/c. I know it's a detail, but very important if you want to position a boarding bridge (damage !!).

- I think that for the 777 (vs 767) the 6wheel bogey is typical, together with the apu-exhaust.

- the atp looks like if it's going to tip over when rolling.

- I don't think there are external difference between md82 and md83.

I know these are small details and some of them only of any use when the a/c is nearby (taxiing, landing,...)

You can see the difference between an RJ85 and a BAe146 by looking at the aft part of the plane. The BAe has a "don't remember the name" to prevent the aircraft being damaged on steep take-offs.

Here are two pics where you can spot the difference

BAe146
RJ85

You can clearly see the Eurowings has something the SNBA has not under the airbrake.

BTW OO-DJL has extra UNICEF titles

, that's kind of SNBA

Yep I'm really sure about it !!

These planes are perhaps badly classified in the database.
I'll check that out

Well the BAe146's you've shown us are all BAe146-300's they probably don't have the "thing" anymore.

And for the RJ's, well I don't know, I'll try to find it out.
It's maybe an option when you buy the plane

Anyway, I've been told on this forum that the RJ hasn't it while the BAe does.

It's great and it works fine with me.

Congratulations

Some additional information:

difference between Saab200 and ATP: The tails have a totally different shape. Look closely and you'll see the difference.
BTW the fuselage ends differently on both planes.

Visual difference between 757-200 and 767-400:

First one: The diameter of the fuselage. It's quite easy to tell the diference when you see both planes with a front view.

Second one: The B767-400's wing is ending differently than the those of the B757-200. It's very hard to explain it with words, but if you'll look closely at the following pic, you'll see the difference.

Ciao
Chris

PS: I'll keep testing

thanks for the heads up!

Nice work Mathias...

For info: there are also B742's flying around with only 3 windows on the upperdeck. Just as there are B742's flying around with a stretched upper deck! So it is not completely correct...

Frederic

Excellent job!

Another link for Meerkat's database!

Nice idea!

Problem is I cannot find how to identify a Jetstream 31 or a Metro - the answer always comes up Jetstream 41 - am I doing something wrong?

thanks for the nice comments all.

@Concordino: i am currently working on a list of aircraft that are included in the program. Of course not every aircraft type in the whole world is included (yet).
