# Aircraft: design and history

How aircraft from Airbus, Boeing and other manufacturers work: engines, fuel, capacity, range and model history.

The name of the family of the aircraft does not disclose all its characteristics. Capacity, range and power plant can vary from modifications, and the layout of the cabin depends on the airline. The articles deal with these differences on individual issues.

Start with an interesting model or system: engines, fuel tanks, wing and passenger compartment. Brief characteristics and photos are collected in the catalog of aircraft; the materials below explain what is behind the numbers and how the design developed.
