- Airplane | Definition, Types, Mechanics, & Facts | Britannicaairplane, any of a class of fixed-wing aircraft that is heavier than air, propelled by a screw propeller or a high-velocity jet, and supported by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. For an account of the development of the airplane and the advent of civil aviation see history of flight. (Read Orville Wright’s 1929 biography of his brother, Wilbur.)
- Aircraft Categories, Classes, and Types: PilotinstituteAn aircraft under the powered lift category, such as the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is capable of vertical takeoff, landing, and low-speed flight. An aircraft in this category depends on engine-driven devices (e.g., propellers) or thrust (i.e., a jet engine) for lift at low speed but non-rotating surfaces (i.e., wings) at higher speeds.
- 20 Different Types of Aircrafts & Their Uses [Pictures & PDF]A balloon aircraft is a type of aircraft that obtains lift from a sizable, lightweight, frequently spherical, or elongated balloon that is filled with helium or hot air. By controlling the gas density within the balloon, balloon aircraft rise and fall passively, unlike airplanes and helicopters, which require propulsion systems to move through the air.
