An aircraft database that you can use as a complete list of aircraft construction numbers with API. That’s pretty specific but thankfully exactly what our aircraft database and API have! 

A construction number is assigned to each aircraft once and, as opposed to the registration number, it cannot be changed. For example, if an aircraft is sold and the owner changes, the registration number may be changed for lots of reasons. However, the construction number stays the same. It is given by manufacturers and its entire history may be traced through it.

Sometimes, construction numbers of aircraft are called manufacturer’s serial numbers. They are often assigned in sequence. The whole number may be a combination of both letters and numbers. They are very useful when it comes to quality control. You can find pretty much any detail you are looking for in our world aircraft C/N number database. Anything’s missing? Contact us and we’d be happy to hear your feedback to take the construction number of aircraft database to the next level.
