Talk:Aircraft livery

Intro sentence
Can't we do better than "Aircraft livery is a livery applied to an aircraft"? Specifically, is there a concise way to define "livery" so that the reader doesn't have to click through to another article? --Doradus (talk) 03:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup proposal
This article is something of a mess. I propose reordering the into the following sections:

1. General terminology
 * Introduce terms like cheatline.

2. History
 * A brief history of the practice of aircraft branding. What was the first airline to standardize their livery? How has this changed over time?

3. Commercial aviation
 * Trends in commercial aviation, such as eurowhite, logojet, retrojet, and common branding across "alliances".

4. Military aviation
 * A brief introduction to camouflage and active camouflage, with links to main articles aircraft camouflage and active camouflage

5. Legislation (?)
 * Any legislation that may have come about w.r.t. aircraft livery. Eg the always popular claim on the Eurowhite page/talk page that the collision of Hughes Airwest Flight 706 led to airlines moving away from the eurowhite scheme (for example, Hughes Airwest took up that nauseating banana yellow-and-blue coloring scheme.)

Thoughts? -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 19:56, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

White space
Quite a bit. Could someone please arrange or remove a few images. I'll leave it to you because I do not know which are important to keep. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:29, 2 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Mostly done. May still need some touch ups and a bit more rearrangement. If no one else gets to it, I'll see what I can do at a later time. Added to my To Do list. HuffTheWeevil / talk / contribs 15:34, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
