Standard Aircraft Drawing Views
Standard Aircraft Drawing Views
(OP)
Are there any drawing standards that dictate the aircraft orientation in drawing views("top", "front" "left" views)? As for me, a "top View" would always be looking down at the top of the aircraft, with forward to the left. A "Front View" would be looking at the left side of the aircraft. A "Left View" would be a looking aft from the front of the plane. A "Right View" would be looking forward from the aft of the plane.

That is what "Front View" means.
Here is a view of the front of the whatever.
Why would you want a front view that shows the side of something?

Like I said there convention in the UK, at least defense, was that the nose of the A/C was to the left on the 'primary' view. It was in a Def Stan which is the UK equivalent to a Mil Std.
If you are defense then it's probably contained in one of the specs your contract references.

The assumption I make on my drawings is that "left" is my left hand.
If I want absolute orientation, I use port, starboard, fore and aft.
