- ↑ "Instant Killer": The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service could use the A6M's powerful cannons to instantly kill most USAAF aircraft.
- ↑ "Holy Sword": A mistranslation of the Japanese 剣聖 (kensei), which literally translates to "sword saint" but is more accurately translated as "master swordsman", a reference to the Japanese samurai.
- ↑ "Electric Saw": The ends of the main wings look like saw blades.
- ↑ "Two Eagles": The ADLER was created as a ground-attack variant of the FALKEN, where both would support each other on missions. "Adler" is German for "eagle" and "falken" is German for "falcon". Hence, two eagle-like aircraft flying together.
- ↑ "Anzu": The Anzû is a Mesopotamian beast with an eagle's body and a lion's head.
- ↑ "Romantic Fool": Believed to refer to players who have waited since 2004 to fly the ADLER, and now that it is available, have leveled it up to Lv.20.
- ↑ "Old and Strong": The ADLER is based on one of the oldest airframes in the Ace Combat series (the FALKEN debuted in Ace Combat 2 in 1998), and the Vanquish is the strongest Attacker aircraft in Infinity.
- ↑ "Eye of Argus": A reference to Argus Panoptes, a giant in Greek mythology said to have a hundred eyes. The ADF-01's COFFIN cockpit is surrounded by numerous cameras that can be called the aircraft's "eyes". In addition, the player's AWACS in Air Combat 22 had the callsign "Argus Eyes".

- ↑ "Beam of Light": A direct reference to the Tactical Laser System. It has also been theorized that the Japanese kanji, "一条の光明", means "a light in the dark", referring to the ADF-01 being the first major development ("a light") for Belka, who was in "the dark" following the Belkan War.
- ↑ "Deus Ex Machina": The original meaning of this phrase was "god from the machine". The ADF-01's first use in combat was under the control of the Zone of Endless AI.
- ↑ "Not Human": A mistranslation of 人間以上, which more accurately translates to "superhuman" or "godlike". This is in reference to the Zone of Endless AI controlling this version of the aircraft; it doesn't have the concern of G-forces affecting it like humans do, making it more combat-capable than humans.
- ↑ "Wicked Pixy": A mistranslation of 背徳の妖精, which is more accurately translated as "Immoral Pixy" or "Corrupt Pixy", referring to Larry Foulke killing Patrick James Beckett and attempting to launch a V2 at the end of Ace Combat Zero.

- ↑ "Ridgebacks": The name of Ridgeback Squadron, who pilot ASF-X Shinden IIs.
- ↑ "Icarus": A reference to Ace Combat: Ikaros in the Sky, where the ASF-X plays a major role.
- ↑ "Super Felix": Some sources claim that the Kyūshū J7W1 Shinden would have had the Allied codename "Felix" if it had entered service. The ASF-X's name, "Shinden II", is a reference to the J7W1.
- ↑ "Prototype Extreme Model Aircraft": This refers to the ASF-X -Experimental- pushing each of its internal parts to their limits.
- ↑ "Good Fortune": This could be in reference to good fortune for a happy new year, as in the aircraft's name. However, the original Japanese kanji, 金運祈願, refers to a "prayer for good fortune" in the economic sense. This is likely a reference to the yellow/gold color of the aircraft, and the gold box drops.
- ↑ "Next Gen Support Fighter": The ASF-X is a next-generation aircraft designed as the JASDF's main support fighter.
- ↑ "Butterfly Hater": Nagase will never forgive her... never.
- ↑ "Spirit of Tranquility": A literal mistranslation of 和の心, which more accurately translates to "Heart of Japan". The ATD-0 is based off of Japan's indigenous aircraft, the X-2.

- ↑ "No Crying Over Spilt Milk": The Japanese version of this nickname, 覆水盆に返らず, is a proverb about Jiang Ziya during the Chinese Zhou dynasty. Legend says that he visited a woman he was once married to, and requested a bowl of water, but accidentally dropped it. He realized, "Water that is once spilled cannot go back to the bowl, just as our marriage cannot be what it once was." Since "Aquarius" is Latin for "water bearer", Project Aces used the proverb as the AV-8B -Aquarius-'s nickname. The closest translation of the proverb to English is "It's no use crying over spilled milk," hence the English nickname.
- ↑ "Pon De Beach": Hibiki Ganaha's new song in THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL.

- ↑ "A Wish Fulfilled": Jack Northrop, the founder of Northrop Corporation, was convinced since the 1930s that flying wing designs were the future, and worked hard to make them a reality. He passed away in 1981, prior to the B-2's first flight in 1989, but he did get to hold a scale model of the B-2. With the B-2's production, Northrop's wish was fulfilled.
- ↑ "Soul of a Sky Pirate": Mistranslation of 空賊の魂 which more accurately translates to "Spirit of a Sky Pirate", a reference to the B-2's name, "Spirit".
- ↑ "Obsidian Angel": A reference to the B-2's black color.
- ↑ "Secluded Beauty": When the B-2 is not in flight, it is stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled hangars to preserve its stealth. This is comparable to some people believing that keeping beautiful women in temperature-controlled areas will maintain their beauty.

- ↑ "Luftwaffe": The name of Germany's aerial forces during World War II.
- ↑ "Specialist": Donald Kingaby was a Royal Air Force ace in World War II. He received the nickname "109 Specialist" for his record in shooting down over a dozen Bf 109s during the war.

- ↑ "Millennium": A play on the Millennium Falcon's name from Star Wars.

- ↑ "Lilldraken": The informal nickname of the Saab 210, which was the testbed for the double-delta concept in the J35J.
- ↑ "Balalaika": The MiG-21's planform design has been noted to look similar to a balalaika, which became a popular nickname for the aircraft. A MiG-21-93 ace in Ace Combat: Joint Assault uses the callsign "Balalaika".
