By range, what do you mean? Movement range? That is (for aircraft) depending on the loadout, and displayed in the Database entry for the platform.

The database will often not give you an absolute range persé , many load outs will give you a mission profile like: 150 miles, plus 2 hours loiter. However, strike mission will always give you an absolute range (at optimum altitude and cruise speed) and you can plan accordingly (note: trying for a strike at max range is just asking for trouble as even the slightest mishap will cause your AC to RTB before they can strike because of lack of fuel).
