The Little Arrow That Could
As a hobby project I'm building an application meant for easily searching and working with civilian aircraft data.
Unfortunately, the most important ingredient (the aircraft data itself) has been hard to come by except in bits and pieces which will require a lot of collating and standardization to make them uniform enough to use. Thus, does anyone know of a database of aircraft data, either for GA, or commercial?
Types of attributes I'm looking for:
- Identifiers: aircraft mfr (Boeing), name (787-9), common name (dreamliner),
- Performance: Vx, Vy, range, Vne, VSo, 55%/65%/75% cruise speed, rate of climb, etc
- Attributes: # of engines, has-retractable-gear, wingspan, GTOW, etc...
- Organized in excel sheets, database table or table(s). Any format.
- I'm OK to spend $$$ if there is a subscription/paid data service that has this info.
Originally I was going to pay a data entry person to transcribe the metrics from TAP's specs pages, but a lot of their info is flat out wrong - and not exhaustive enough of what I want.
Any suggestions are helpful!
