Each individual aircraft or helicopter is identified by its Construction Number,
(C/N), Manufacturer Serial Number (MSN), or Werke Nummer (WN), which has to be
stencilled in a metal data-plate firmly attached to the airframe. The location
of this aircraft identification plate, or data-plate, differs with the aircraft
type. Some aircraft and helicopters also have this number painted on the
fuselage or tailboom. |
