The plane in the classification standard is different, can have the following classification methods:
1, according to the use of aircraft division, a civil aviation aircraft and national aviation aircraft of the points. National aviation aircraft is refers to the army, police and customs, the use of aircraft, civil aviation aircraft is mainly refers to civil aircraft and helicopters, civil aircraft refers to the civil aircraft, cargo aircraft and estate machine.
2, according to the type of aircraft engine points, propeller aircraft and jet plane of the points. The history of propeller aircraft, including piston propeller aircraft and turbine propeller aircraft, aircraft engines for piston propeller, this is the most primitive power form. It USES screw rotation will air after to machine driven by its reaction force to promote the plane forward. The higher the propeller speed, the flight speed is fast. Jet aircraft, including vortex theory jet and vortex theory fan jet aircraft. This model has the advantages of simple structure, fast speed, general speed can reach 500-600 miles; Fuel cost savings, loading capacity is big, can generally be passenger 400-500 or 100 tons of cargo.
3, according to the plane’s engine quantity points, a single (motivation) aircraft, the growing (motivation) aircraft, three rounds (motivation) aircraft, four rounds (motivation) the plane of the points.
4, according to the flight of flight speed points, a subsonic and supersonic aircraft division, subsonic and low points plane (flight speed below 400 km/h) and high subsonic (flight speed Mach number is 0, 8-8, 9). Most of the jet plane for high subsonic aircraft.
5, according to the aircraft flight far and near points, a short-range, medium-range, long-range aircraft don’t of. Remote aircraft flight for 1100 kilometers, can complete midway nonstop intercontinental flight across the sample. Medium range aircraft flight for 3000 kilometers, close range aircraft flight generally less than 1000 kilometers. Short range aircraft are used for feeder, therefore also called regional aircraft. , remote aircraft are used for domestic trunk and international routes, also called main plane.
In China’s civil aviation administration is made according to the plane guest sit division number of large, medium and small plane, the plane’s guest sit number in 100 under the seat for small, 100 -, - 200 seats for medium between, more than 200 seats for large. Voyage in 2400 km below for short, 2400 -, - 4800 km between medium range, 4800 km above is remote. But classification standard is relative.

The 21st, air transport division
Area (TC1) : including North America, central and South America, Greenland, Bermuda and the Hawaiian islands.
The second area (TC2) : by the entire continental Europe (including European parts of Russia) and adjacent islands, Iceland, the Azores, the African continent and adjacent islands, Asia and Iran in west of Iran. This is also and we known political geographic division of the most difference a area, it mainly have three subregion
1, Africa region: including most African countries and regions, but the northern African Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan are not included in the calculation.
2, Denmark, including European countries and Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia three African countries and Turkey (both parts of Europe, including Asia part). Russia only includes its European part.
3, the Middle East region, including bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, united Arab emirates, yemen, etc.
Three region (TC3) : by the entire Asian continent and adjacent islands (already included in the two parts as), Australia, New Zealand and adjacent islands, Pacific islands (already included in the part of the area except) composition. Among them:
South Asia subcontinent area: include Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Keith but the south Asian countries.
Southeast Asia area: including China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), southeast Asia countries, Mongolia, Russia parts of Asia and turkmenistan but etc the commonwealth of independent states, Micronesia, etc islands area.
Southwest Pacific continent area, including Australia, New Zealand, Solomon islands, etc.
Japan, Korea area: only including Japan and Korea.
