Canadian Aircraft Designations

(499 total words in this text)
(2955 Reads)  Printer-friendly page
The Canadian system uses a prefix C (possibly to avoid confusion with American codes) and a function letter, followed by a number. The number is unique, and applied to single aircraft type. The function letter may change if an aircraft is modified, e.g. the CE-144 is an electronic warfare version of the CC-144.
