I make A LOT of [Avian Air Forces] aircraft-- it's sort of my specialty.
For those of you who don't care, okay.
For those of you who are interested or want to name your craft like this too, the template is this:
[Avian Air Forces] - [Range][Base][Class][Model Number] - 'Nickname'
Ranges (How far a craft can reach with 50% fuel)
S - Short
M - Medium
L - Long
Bases (Where the craft is meant to fly from)
LA - Land
LU - Launcher
C - Carrier
Classes (Intended role of the aircraft (cannot be more than one)
I - (Offensive fighter)
F - (Defensive fighter)
AS - (Sir-superiority (offense + defense))
B - Bomber
FB - Fighter-Bomber
EI - Comms, Electronic warfare, Recon/Intel
(I'll be going back through all my AAF craft and renaming them accordingly)
@bspboy Lol, the Avian language has never been pretty. My personal favorite is the SLUB.
Gotta love them SLAF's.
@Verterium You should consider! A little bit of world building is always enjoyable~
@OtterOfToast
Oh sry
I've never made any fictional airplanes though, so I can't really use it effectively.
@Verterium it'd be known as the "LLAAS1 - 'Stilleeto'", so you're almost correct!
@Supercraft888 That is fascinating, but I would ask you keep your comments in one comment, please XD A bit much on screen.
For the Epochxian Air Combat Division however, they have a different naming system for the most part. They include "E" infront of everything, they also have a multitude of different classes than the USFAF
Hence why my newest plane is called
C-190
The C stand for cargo, and the 190 is its designation, like the f-15 or f-18
Hmmm, I name them based on the USAF code for all my USFAF (United space federation air force) aircraft, with some minor liberties here and there:
F=fighter
A=attack
B=bomber
S=surveillance/spy
C=Cargo
EX=experimental
I=interceptor
AM=amphibious
And for USFAF (United space federation armed forces) it's the same thing but with a lowercase "s" suffix infront of everything to stand for space
So an example for my X-3 Stilleto Custom would be...
VerTech L-LA-I-AS - Douglas X-3 Stilleto Custom
