Aircraft
An aircraft is a vehicle or machine supported for flight in the air by buoyancy or by the dynamic action of air on its surfaces. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases, the downward thrust from jet engines. Common examples of aircraft include airplanes, helicopters, airships (including blimps), gliders, paramotors, and hot air balloons.
