Vertipedia Notes
Vertipedia notes are brief descriptions of how and why Vertipedia works the way it does. Check back often for the latest note, or view the complete list.
Aircraft Types, Variants and Families
The aircraft module in Vertipedia assumes a Type/Variant/Version structure for aircraft from the same family. In many large programs the manufacturer uses this type of structure to develop a range of different versions for different customers (possibly using different terms). A specific aircraft can only be assigned to one Type and Variant. Aircraft do not have to be assigned to a Type or Variant.
