The aircraft equipment UI is currently very cumbersome, and could be made much more friendly.

To equip a single aircraft item, you have to select the item type, select the slot, select the item from a list, and click an "add" button (4 clicks, far from each other)
To equip an actor item, you drag and drop the item to its slot (1 drag and drop operation)

Additionally, in the actor UI, you can see at a glance everything that the actor has equipped. In the aircraft UI, you have to choose an item (weapon, armor, others) type to see the items.
