What specific aircraft do you want to know? A manufacturer can have a lot of different types like Piper for example.

Piper has aircraft is several different classes like, single engine, multi engine, high performance, complex, land, sea, and some are taildragers

As a "jet" lover I call them turbofan-less   Roll Eyes

PS Aint it funny how people always think of turbofan driven aircrafts as a jet. I mean the turboprops/fans/jets are all turbine engines which goes under the category of "Jets". Right?

You seem to miss the point OTTOL  Smiley
The planes you mentioned are turbofans (at least bthe F-16) if I'm not mistaken. But how many of your "regular Joe" friends would call a SAAB340 a jet, which it rightfully is since it's a turboprop  Smiley

Turboprops =SAAB340; Dash-8's etc
Turbofan = All boeing and Airbus types, even the F-16's  Wink
Turbojet = Concorde or the DeHavilland 106 Comet which didn't use high-bypass fans

Sorry Fred for the offtopic discussion, my bad  Undecided
