How to get list of Aircraft types from Aviation Great circle mapper API?

Hi, We bought AVIATION GREAT CIRCLE MAPPER API for calculating distance and flight time for an airports and speed. But Aircraft Type Read API doesn’t allow search like an airport search. So we need to simulate http://www.greatcirclemapper.net (i.e user should be able to search and select aircraft like as you developed in site). we using NODE API for development.

For more clarification,
Your API allow to pass ICAO 3 letter code or IATA 2 letter code for getting aircraft speed (not provide search options)and then web service returns object with basic information of the aircraft, such as name, manufacturer, speed etc.

For example :

if we pass ‘A388’ as input to finding aircraft. We will get below JSON object

{ “name”: “737-800”, “manufacturer”: “Boeing”, “type”: “Airliner”, “iata_code”: “738”, “icao_code”: “B738”, “passengers”: “160”, “speed_kmh”: “946.00”, “speed_kts”: “511.00”, “ceiling_m”: “12497.00”, “ceiling_ft”: “41000.00”, “range_km”: “7408.00”, “range_nm”: “4000.00”, “mtow_kg”: “78245.00”, “mtow_lbs”: “172500.00”, “alias”: “737-800” }

Where should I get list of aircraft codes like A388.

Then one more doubt, i noticed in your API Doc http://www.greatcirclemapper.net/api.html in aircarft type read API “The webservice returns an array with basic information of the aircraft”, but your webservice doesn’t retrun an array it return only an object.

Kindly let me know it’s possible in your API and suggest some doc references.

Thanks!
