NOTE-
*Configuration diversity and the fact that airworthiness certificates are
issued to aircraft builders, vice manufacturers, necessitates the assignment
of generic aircraft type designators based on cruise performance, rather than
specific manufacturer and normal descriptive/performance information.
NOTE-
** All performance criteria has been estimated because configuration
diversity precludes determining precise aircraft-specific information
