So for a fighter with JTIDS the designation will be 6011, the 11 indicating a single seat land plane with ejectable pilot)

(01) - single seat land plane without ejection
(05) - two seat land plane without ejection
(11) - single seat land plane with ejection
(15) - two seat land plane cockpit with ejection
(41) - single seat carrier plane without ejection

(55) - two seat carrier plane cockpit with ejection

(5c1) - single seat thrust vectoring(pitch and yaw)carrier plane without ejection
(5c5) - two seat thrust vectoring(pitch and yaw)carrier plane without ejection.

So as a final example of a completley new code for an aircraft with thrust vectoring in both pitch and yaw, two place cockpit, carrier aircraft, with JTIDS link for both air and land targets the new code is $65d5...
