Aces High - Plane Comparison Matrix

Updated 11/07/06

The table below shows AH planes rated in various categories from 1 to 10. The best in each category scores a "10", and sets the upper benchmark to which others are compared. The worst in each category is scored a "1" and sets the lower limit. (If data is not applicable or the plane can not be tested in a certain category, it is rated as 0 and shown as "---"). The category ratings are defined in the legend below the table. Click here to learn more about the ratings and how they were developed.

NOTE: The ratings are comparative from the worst plane to the best; not against a set value. This means that depending on how much better a plane is than all others, there may be a large difference between it and the rest. For example, even though a plane may be rated as "Poor", it could still be better than anything else depending on the filters being used and what it is being compared to.

Hovering over each of the column headings will display a tool tip with a description of the column's data. You can click directly on the column headings to toggle between ascending/descending sort order for each category. You may also click the buttons below to filter and analyze the data in various ways. (Perked planes are shown in red).
