Certainly, each of those descriptors is a facet an airplane may have,
and I even like the way they've been grouped.

My question is, you say it "almost corresponds" to faceted
representation. Why does it almost correspond? In my mind it
corresponds to faceted representation just fine.

Is there an assumption that facets are never grouped?
