RESOURCES

Below are some fact sheets that you can download, which might help in your research.

The first provides some information about the AERALIS programme, and why it’s such an important aircraft.

The second is a little about the history of aircraft names, including past naming conventions. These are only for your information and inspiration though – there are no rules on the names you come up with. Having said that, it would be best to avoid names that have been used before, and to consider how your name might be understood globally.
