All the attributes of each aircraft and missile type are documented in the online data library, along with pictures and brief historical writeups. Thankfully, there are many attributes that are set for each plane beyond the usual thrust-to-weight, top speed, and wing loading numbers, and taken as a whole they give each plane a unique character. With so many plane types included in one game, it would be easy to imagine that they'd start to all feel alike after a while.
