Aircraft Type Suffix Configurations
Greetings,
Im sure this information exists somewhere and I may have accidentally stumbled across it once
OK
Im reasonably familiar with the basic aircraft type designations
be they Boeing (717-727-737-757-767-777 etc)
Airbus (A300-A310-A319-A320-A330-A340 etc)
McDonnell-Douglas (MD80-MD82-MD-83 etc)
Embraer (135-145-170-190 etc)
and all the others
When it gets to the suffix information that often follows these basic designations
I start getting a little lost in the woods. I assume these are merely variations on the original configurations
yes?
e.g. redesigned fuselages
updated engine configurations
upgraded electronics
revised mission statements
etc?
Where online can I find exhaustive listings of these aircraft designations and sub-designations and what each of them means
please? Thanks.
