NounSingular aircraft Plural aircraft or aircrafts aircraft (plural aircraft or aircrafts)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly by being supported by the air, or in general, the atmosphere of a planet. An aircraft counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines. Although rockets and missiles also travel through the atmosphere, most are not considered aircraft because they use rocket thrust instead of aerodynamics as the primary means of lift. However, rocket planes and cruise missiles are considered aircraft because they rely on lift from the air. The human activity which surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Manned aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot. Unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Target drones are an example of UAVs. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria, such as lift type, propulsion, usage and others. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How would an aircraft react with different wind conditions(given in the 'details' section)? Q. 1)If groundspeed of aircraft is 80knots,and direct tailwind is 120knots.Which direction would a flag, hypothetically kept over the fuselage of the aircraft,fly ? 2)If groundspeed is 100knots and a DIRECT crosswind is of 100knots. 3)If aircrafts maximum speed on full throttle is 120knots and there is a 150knots direct headwind?

I am going to Florida in July and would like to know what aircraft goes there with monarch from Manchester to Sanford. And what is the plane like inside. And do they have individual TV's? Asked by Emma - Fri Feb 20 19:24:56 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Usually an Airbus A.330 Decent aircraft but the seats are rather too close together for comfort. If your fairly tall try to get a seat by the emergency exit that way you get a bit more legroom. Bear in mind it's about an 8 hour flight so take a good book (You always wanted to read "War and Peace" didn't you) Have fun.

Q. What is the best way to keep the aircraft apron clean. In short how should it be maintained? What should not be done on it Asked by alepher p - Wed Feb 13 01:21:08 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I've been responsible (in part) for the concrete apron at terminal 4 heathrow. Debris upon the trafficking area can be hazardous as demonstrated by the ill fated Concorde flight when the fuel tanks had been punctured by a metal component dropped by a previous aircraft.
