: You have several good points there.  I have some thoughts on them (note that this this is only my opinions).
:; Disambiguation pages:  This could probably be used on an aircraft type level basis.  For example describing the Boeing 777 in general and short descriptions of the 'subtypes' and links to pages with them and any different variants. To some extent this could be given a standardized look by using templates.
:: I think these could be very useful, and I wish there was some of them.
:; The navigation template:  Dreadful at least to some extent.  I have more than once found them a bit inconsistent and confusing (in particular when looking like the one you showed here).  Could probably be remade quite a bit, possibly following the structure I outlined in the point above.
:; Project names:  I have noted that a few projects have had names, for example the ''Lake of Constance Boeing 707'' or the ''Seattle'' (though I embarrassingly do not remember what aircraft type that was).
:; Distinguish between past and current development:  Probably a good idea.  Could possibly be done with color coded backgrounds for the aircraft type text and color coding of the development state field in the aircraft infobox.
: Some additional thoughts:
:* I guess the navigation templates could also be link to the aircraft disambiguation pages when needed.
:* Setting up a style manual for the disambiguation pages and navigation templates would probably be a good idea.  It should not be done before some time of experimentation though.
