=Aircraft Manufacturer Specific Footers=

These templates include the different planes that each respective aircraft manufacturer has created. These templates are to be used at the bottom of an article about an airplane by the selected manufacturer or about an airplane manufacturer itself. Should be used as the top navigation template at the bottom of the page.

The footers style can vary depending on the amount of information included and how it is arranged. Some examples are the very simple:

{{Bach Aircraft}}

Simple with unlinked titles:

{{Bombardier aircraft}}

The more complicated, with titles on the left:

{{Waco aircraft}}

A timeline:

{{Boeing 7x7 timeline}}

In general all templates use Template:Navbox, which has instructions on how to reate a variety of styles.

=Aircraft Engine Manufacturer Specific Footers=

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Engines/Templates for more on this subject. These templates are used to link aircraft engines built or designed by a manufacturer. The templates are to be used at the bottom of an article about an engine by the selected manufacturer or about an engine manufacturer itself.
