Aircraft

An aircraft is a vehicle designed for air travel that is capable of flight through the atmosphere. It typically consists of a fuselage (main body), wings that generate lift, engines for propulsion, and control surfaces for maneuverability. Aircraft vary widely in size, design, and purpose—from small private planes to large commercial airliners and military jets. They are equipped with avionics for navigation and communication and are operated by trained pilots. The primary function of an aircraft is to transport passengers, cargo, or perform specialized tasks such as surveillance, firefighting, or search and rescue.
