Aircraft Manufacturer Specific Footers

These templates include the different planes that each respective aircraft manufacturer has created. These templates are to be used at the bottom of an article about an airplane by the selected manufacturer or about an airplane manufacturer itself. Should be used as the top navigation template at the bottom of the page.

The footers style can vary depending on the amount of information included and how it is arranged. Some examples are the very simple:

Simple with unlinked titles:

The more complicated, with titles on the left:
