Aircraft

 

Aircraft are amazing machines that can take flight! They come in many shapes and sizes, each with its own unique purpose. Here are some of the most common types of aircraft:

  • Airliner: Large, fixed-wing aircraft designed to carry passengers and cargo on long distances.

  • Helicopter: Rotary-wing aircraft that can take off and land vertically, hover, and fly in any direction.

  • Private Jet: Small, jet-powered aircraft used for business and personal travel.

  • Glider: Engineless aircraft that use rising air currents to stay aloft.

  • Ultralight: Small, lightweight aircraft that are simple to fly and operate.

  • Hot Air Balloon: Lighter-than-air aircraft that uses heated air to rise and float.

  • Airship: Lighter-than-air aircraft that uses a gas lighter than air (usually helium) for lift and has an internal framework for shape.

  • Key words: 

    • Airplane, helicopter, glider
    • Fixed-wing, rotary-wing
    • Lighter-than-air, hot air balloon, airship
    • Aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion
