There's a list of Aircraft Flight Manuals PDF by Brand above the page.
The classification of aircraft can be given according to various criteria - by purpose, by design features, by type of engines, by flight technical parameters and so on and so forth.
By appointment
Military:
attack aircraft, interceptors, fighter jets, fighter bombers, frontline bombers, strategic bombers, missile carriers, torpedo bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, tankers, aircraft carriers, anti-submarine aircraft, patrol aircraft, spotters, military transport aircraft, multi-purpose and special.
Civil
passenger, transport - cargo transportation, postal - airmail transportation, courier, agricultural, sanitary - emergency, medical care, firefighters - for extinguishing mainly forest fires, exploration - aerial exploration of mineral resources, experimental - conducting flight experiments (flying laboratory), sports - aviation, training - flight crew training, combat training aircraft - training of military personnel.
Take-off weight
Super heavy, Heavy - over 136 tons (300 thousand pounds); Medium - from 7 to 136 tons (15-300 thousand pounds); Lungs - less than 7 tons (15,000 pounds); Ultralight.
Takeoff weight classes
1st class (75 tons or more); 2nd class (from 30 to 75 tons); 3rd class (from 10 to 30 tons); 4th class (up to 10 t); light motor.
By type of power plant:
piston, turboprop, turbojet, with rocket engines, with combined powerplant, with electric motors (electric plane)
By the number of engines:
from 1 to10 and 12 engines
According to the layout scheme
Classification on this basis is the most multivariate. The following is part of the main options.
By the number of wings:
monoplanes, one and a half plans, biplanes, triplanes, polyplanes
By the location of the wing (for monoplanes):
high plans, middle plans, low planes, parasol
According to the location of the tail:
standard layout (tail plumage), flying wing (tailless), tailless, “Duck” (plumage in front);
By type, size and number of storeys of the fuselage:
single-body: narrow-bodied; wide-body; two-beam scheme ("frame"); bodyless ("flying wing"), double decker aircraft
By type of chassis:
Land; with wheeled chassis: with tail support; with front support; with bicycle type support; with ski gear; with tracked chassis; hovercraft; seaplanes; amphibians; float; "Flying boats".
By flight speed
subsonic - the maximum flight Mach number is not more than 0.7-0.8
transonic - maximum flight Mach number from 0.7-0.8 to 1.2
supersonic - maximum flight Mach number from 1.2 to 5
hypersonic - maximum flight Mach number over 5
By the nature of the landing organs
land, ship, seaplanes, flying submarine.
By type of take-off and landing
vertical, short, horizontal (i.e. normal) take-off and landing.
At the stage of development and development of the model
experimental, experienced, serial, single copies of the aircraft.
By way of management
manned by a pilot, unmanned.
By type of flight
planes for flying according to the rules of visual orientation, instrument aircraft
