Aircraft : Aircraft are vehicles which are able to fly by gaining support from 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
Areas of use The major distinction in aircraft types is between military aircraft, which includes
not just combat types but many types of supporting aircraft, and civil aircraft, which include all
non-military types.
A) Military
Boeing B-17E in flight. The Allies of World War II lost 160,000 airmen and 33,700 planes
during the air war over Europe.
A military aircraft is any fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft that is operated by a legal or
insurrectionary armed service of any type.[10] Military aircraft can be either combat or non-
combat:
Combat aircraft are aircraft designed to destroy enemy equipment using its own armament.[10]
Combat aircraft divide broadly into fighters and bombers, with several in-between types such as
fighter-bombers and ground-attack aircraft (including attack helicopters).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aircraft-110905112431-phpapp02/85/Aircraft-1-320.jpg)

- 2. Non-Combat aircraft are not designed for combat as their primary function, but may carry weapons for self-defense. Non-combat roles include search and rescue, reconnaissance, observation, transport, training and aerial refueling. These aircraft are often variants of civil aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3 airliner. Gliders and balloons have also been used as military aircraft; for example, balloons were used for observation during the American Civil War and World War I, and military gliders were used during World War II to land troops. B) Civil Civil aircraft divide into commercial and general types, however there are some overlaps. Commercial aircraft include types designed for scheduled and charter airline flights, carrying both passengers and cargo. The larger passenger-carrying types are often referred to as airliners, the largest of which are wide-body aircraft. Some of the smaller types are also used in general aviation, and some of the larger types are used as VIP aircraft. General aviation is a catch-all covering other kinds of private (where the pilot is not paid for time or expenses) and commercial use, and involving a wide range of aircraft types such as business jets (bizjets), trainers, homebuilt, aerobatic types, racers, gliders, warbirds, firefighters, medical transports, and cargo transports, to name a few. The vast majority of aircraft today are general aviation types. Eurocopter EC 145 of the Rega air rescue service.

The Bell X-1 rocket plane, which first broke the sound barrier in level flight, is a famous example.
