The one and only subreddit dedicated to quick and accurate aircraft identification (helicopters, rockets and spaceships welcome)! Please read the rules.

Please only post planes! It does not matter if it is in a game, the plane does not exist, or whatever. Oh and btw, we also allow rockets and spaceships for some diversity.

Rules

  1. Must be about planes. All posts must be about aircraft, this is obviously explained by the name of this sub.

  2. Don't be rude. This is a clean and friendly sub where there will be no fighting, name calling, or accusations allowed.

  3. Do not answer posts with “It’s a plane.” The goal of this sub is to help others successfully identify aircraft. Responding with “plane” is not helpful, and will result in your comment being removed.

  4. Refrain from involving politics. Many aircraft are used in war. Nevertheless, please keep any political discussions to a minimum; historical facts are, of course, allowed.

  5. Mark your post solved. When you are satisfied with an answer please reply to that comment with "Solved!" (without the quotes). This will mark the post solved.

  6. Post has to be an identifying post. Please only use this subreddit as an identifying subreddit. If you want more info about anything, we will refer you to subreddits like r/airplanes , r/aviation , r/flying and others.

What kinda of plane is this?

Sounded like it was backfiring. It was flying towards the left of the picture (black point looked to be the nose of the aircraft). Almost looked like it was flying backwards lol

Sorry for low quality. Was taken at 22x zoom.

Why’s this plane unusually loud?

My cameras broken, but can anyone tell if this is a commercial airplane or something? Not everyday I hear a plane engine howl like that and it was only flashing red lights from what I could see when usually I see commercial planes flashing multiple, maybe I’m just crazy

Is this a C130? It seems smaller and didn't make the right noise..

I'm sorry the video is horrible. But the the engine noise does not seem deep. enough and there was no black trail that I normally associate with them.

Can anyone identify the plane from this cartoon?

https://preview.redd.it/arjn55h7h5sd1.jpg?width=733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21521f5040032489b3b321263b37c3a254810aa1

Slightly unusual one here, might be a bit of a long shot. This cartoon is a detail from a humorous homemade Christmas card from 1909. Was wondering if anyone might be able to identify the plane. The artist was an entomologist, so there may be an insect related pun in there somewhere. Ignore the green bits, they are part of an insect! It's too early to be a de Hallivand Moth. Artist was British.

Questions on stealth

Not sure if this is the place to post this but, is the YF-22 just an earlier version of stealth fighter vs F-35 or do they serve serve different purposes?

Does anyone know what this aircraft is? I only found a couple images that appear to be models. It's called "Messerschmitt Me T Leitwerk" and I discovered it in the-blueprints.com

Heard 2 really loud jets take off (shook the ground/house), went to the airport and saw 2 of these jets land.
