Template:Infobox aircraft career/doc

Usage
This template does not function alone; it must follow Infobox aircraft begin.

This template provides general data on types (and subtypes) of aircraft, but not technical specifications. If you want to include those, see Infobox aircraft type.

Infobox aircraft begin, this template, (and Infobox aircraft career, if applicable) must be enclosed by  and   that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).

Examples
For an article on an aircraft type, use:

For a case where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (e.g., The Spirit of St. Louis, use:

Infobox aircraft career
This infobox is used to summarize the career of an individual aircraft. Where this aircraft is a unique, one-off design, it should immediately follow Infobox aircraft type in the article. If the individual aircraft described in this article was built as part of a series (even a small one), this infobox should stand alone without Infobox aircraft type. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use.

When standing alone,  and   are required fields.
