- Goals
- Improve Wikipedia's coverage of aviation.
- Create guidelines for articles about aviation.

- Structure
- Internally, the project has developed several structural features to help in managing our extensive work:
- Departments, which host work on several specialized tasks, including article quality assessment, writing contests, and detailed article review.
- Child projects and task forces for collaboration on specific topics within aviation, such as aircraft, defunct airlines, or gliding.

- Aviation technologies not part of an airplane (e.g., Airport Surveillance Radar)
- Articles about aircraft types (e.g., airliner, interceptor aircraft, helicopter)
- Companies and government agencies (e.g., Cessna, NASA)
- Aviation history
