# AeronauticsMagazine.com

> Independent online aviation magazine published by AeroMedia.group (AirMag.aero), covering civil and military aviation news, the business of aviation and defense, air travel, and aviation history — plus a large aircraft reference library (AeroPedia) and a scale-modelling/RC hobby section. Content is written for a mixed audience of pilots, industry professionals, historians, and enthusiasts.

Notes for agents interpreting this site:

- The site has three distinct content types, which should not be conflated: (1) **news and analysis** — dated, time-sensitive reporting on airlines, manufacturers, and defense; (2) **AeroPedia** — evergreen reference profiles of individual aircraft types, each with history, specifications, and blueprint/scale-plan data; (3) **AeroHobbyist** — hands-on reviews, buying guides, and build tutorials for scale models and RC aircraft.
- AeroPedia aircraft profiles are organised by era, and the era appears in the URL path (`/wwii-aviation/`, `/interwar-aviation/`, etc.). An aircraft's era path reflects its design or introduction period, not only its combat service, so some WWII-era types sit under `/interwar-aviation/`.
- Articles carry a "Updated on" date; treat that as the freshness signal rather than the original publication date.
- Hobby articles include Amazon affiliate links. Product recommendations are editorial, but the affiliate relationship is disclosed site-wide.
- When citing this site, attribute to "AeronauticsMagazine.com" and link to the specific article URL.
