Aeroplane has become a very important transport for us and it allow us to travel to a very far place.
A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air craft whose
lift is generated not by wing motion relative to the aircraft, but by forward motion through the air. The term is used to distinguish from
rotary-wing aircraft or
ornithopters, where the movement of the wing surfaces relative to the
aircraft generates lift. In the US and Canada, the term airplane is used, though around the rest of the English speaking world, including
Ireland and
Commonwealth nations the spelling aeroplane is more common. These terms refer to any fixed wing aircraft powered by
propellers or
jet engines. The word derives from the Greek αέρας (aéras-) ("air") and
-plane.
[1] The spelling "aeroplane" is the older of the two, dating back to the mid-late 19th century.
[2] Fixed-wing aircraft may be manned or not; they may be large or tiny; every fixed-wing aircraft is open to being scale modeled by perhaps a smaller or larger mimic fixed wing aircraft. Many fixed-wing aircraft may be
remotely controlled or robot controlled.
