This template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox aircraft begin}}.
This template provides general data on programs to develop types (and subtypes) of aircraft and aircraft engines, but not on the aircraft or engines themselves or their technical specifications.
{{Infobox aircraft begin}} and this template must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).
Examples
For an article on an aircraft program, use:
{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
|parameters go here
}}{{Infobox aircraft program
|parameters go here
}}
|}

Parameters
- aim
- a description of the aircraft or engine required or specified. Example:
- All-weather naval air-superiority fighter
- requirement
- a formal name or a number for the requirement. Examples:
- OR.229
- Advanced Tactical Fighter Statement of Operational Need
- issuer
- the issuer of the requirement or specification. This might be a government department, ministry, or agency rather than a service. Note that some programs might be jointly issued by more than one department or even more than one government. Example:
- service
- the service for which the aircraft or engine is required. Note that some programs might be to procure an aircraft for more than one service. Where a service itself issues the requirement, this field is redundant; do not use it under these circumstances. Example:
- value
- the value of the program. Example:
- $US 323 billion over 30 years
- initiated
- the date that the program was initiated
- expected
- the date that a current program is expected to be completed
- proposals
- links to aircraft or engines proposed by manufacturers. Examples:
- Boeing 818
- Unnamed proposal by Mitsubishi
- prototypes
- any prototypes evaluated for the program. Example:
- concluded
- the date that the program was concluded (whatever the outcome)
- outcome
- the outcome of the program. Example:
- Dassault Mirage III selected for production
- program abandoned due to budget cuts
- program merged with TFX Program
- predecessors
- predecessor programs that were abandoned in favour of this one, or merged into this one
- successors
- programs in favour of which this program was abandoned, or into which this program was merged
- related
- related programs. For example, the aircraft program for which an engine program is undertaken, or a program for a naval equivalent of a land-based aircraft program.
