Identify an aircraft

Identify walks you through WEFT — Wings, Engines, Fuselage, Tail — when all you have is a shape in the sky. Answer what you can see at each step and the tool narrows the 4,893 entries in the catalogue to the likely matches, then hands you the full recognition guide.

It runs entirely in your browser: no account, no API key, no charge, and the catalogue works offline once loaded. Nothing you enter leaves the device, so it is as useful on an airfield with no signal as it is at your desk.
