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 to design an Light Aircraft Cockpit? Q. Good day! I would like to ask if anyone knows good reference materials or links for light aircraft cockpit lay-outing. That should include where to properly place instruments in accordance to air laws and pilot advantages. I am planning to use the materials for my upcoming aircraft design subjects in college.

I was out waiting for Space shuttle Atlantis to pass over my work today when we heard the sonic boom, the news said they heard it from San Diego to LA. If it is that loud on ground, how loud is it when you are in the aircraft that does it? If you have been in a military aircraft or other sound breaking barrier machinary, what happens? Does the aircraft move wierd when it happens or what? Asked by Notorious LJo - Fri Jun 22 21:39:51 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm a former F-14A RIO with almost 1000 hours in that jet, and have been supersonic dozens, if not hundreds, of times. In the Tomcat, passing through Mach 1 is just a number on the dial. Down low, below 500 feet, the world moves by pretty quickly, and your vision tunnels a bit. At altitude, where most supersonic dashes are made, it doesn't look or feel much faster than a standard airliner (most of which cruise at about Mach .83, anyway). One sound that does increase at high speed is the wind noise over the canopy. At Mach 1.5 in the Tomcat, I could hear the roar of the wind really well, even over the roar of the ECS (the air conditioner) and through my helmet ear cups. The only other sounds that I've heard in the jet (that I didn't… [cont.] Answered by Scott A - Sat Jun 23 02:08:37 2007 How many light aircraft are flying in the UK?
