About MADb
What is MADb?
ModelAircraftDatabase.com (MADb) is a collection of information about model aircraft, including airliners, military aircraft, and general aviation. The project was started by an aviation enthusiast and model collector as a way to document and organize their collection. Now it's available to all collectors and enthusiasts!The Four Principles
MADb was built with the following principles in mind:- ModernIt should be fast and responsive. Less time waiting, more time collecting.
- CollaborativeIt should involve the community, in order to strive for accuracy and completeness.
- PersonalIt should allow users to track their collection, and take some control on how they view the data.
- IndependentIt should not be influenced by any manufacturer or retailer.
Striving for Data Integrity
No collection of information can ever be called complete. But we're still going to try. More importantly, though, we want to achieve peak accuracy. The database started with some base information from the major model manufacturers, but it is near impossible to review every bit of that information for accuracy. That's where you come in!We know the model aircraft community knows their stuff. Yes, that means you. Don't be shy. See something wrong? Submit a correction. Just find the associated button on a content page, select the correct information, and submit. It's that easy!
You might see this red icon on some pages. It means that information either needs confirmation or needs to be narrowed down (e.g. to a specific aircraft model). If you can help, please do!
All submittions are reviewed by a moderator in a timely manner before being published. Before submitting, you can add comments and a reference link, both optional, to help speed up the approval process.
