What this analysis gives you
The Aircraft Identifier reads the fuselage, wings, engines, tail, landing gear, and any visible livery or registration in your photo. It names the likely make, model, and variant with a High, Medium, or Low confidence level, then adds specifications, operational role, history, current status, and the features that led to the match.

What a photo cannot prove
- Specifications, fleet sizes, and production status come from the model's general knowledge, not a live registry or manufacturer data sheet.
- Closely related variants and re-engined versions can look almost identical from a single angle.
- A registration read from the photo is not checked against an official aircraft registry.
- Distant, blurred, or heavily backlit shots usually lower the confidence level.
When to use it
Plane spotting logs
Turn an airport or airshow photo into a named type and variant, with the identifying features listed so you can confirm the match in your own log.
Research and school projects
Start a report or presentation with a structured summary of specifications, first flight, development history, and major variants.
Accurate photo captions
Caption aviation photos and videos with the model designation, operator livery, and primary role taken from the report.
Following up a registration
Note any registration the report reads from the photo, then look it up in an official registry to confirm the type and owner.
How it works
- Upload a clear photo of the subject.
- Add optional context. Optional context helps improve identification accuracy
- Select Analyze Image. The report usually arrives in 15-30 seconds and is saved to your analysis history.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the aircraft identification?
Every report states a High, Medium, or Low confidence level and the visible features behind it. When the model is unsure, it says so and explains the alternative possibilities instead of presenting one guess as certain. Check important details against an official source.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear side or three-quarter view that shows the engines, wings, and tail gives the most evidence. A readable registration or livery helps. You can add optional context, such as the airport where you took the photo or whether the aircraft is military or vintage.
Which types of aircraft can it identify?
It covers commercial airliners, military aircraft, general aviation and business jets, helicopters, historical and vintage aircraft, prototypes, and drones.
How much does an aircraft analysis cost?
Each analysis costs 5 credits with GPT-4o or 3 credits with GPT-4o mini. If an analysis fails, the credits are returned automatically.
Can I rely on the specifications for operational or purchase decisions?
No. The specifications are reference information for spotting, research, and content. Use the manufacturer's documentation, the aircraft's own records, and the official registry for anything operational, legal, or financial.
