[edit] Experimental aircraft
Experimental aircraft are those that never saw operational service or were never intended to do so. They may be aircraft purely designed to test and develop new theories and research on aviation, or may be intended as prototypes of combat or other types of aircraft. Ultimately, if the aircraft was deployed to regular squadrons or used in more than the rarest of operational missions by other units, it should be listed above under its appropriate type. Some types which did not reach flight status may also be listed here.
