Nounaircraft (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 When I load an aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the aircraft appears darker, as if in shadow mode? Q. How can I fix this problem? As soon as I load an aircraft, the screen flickers black, then the planes appear darker/dimmer. The game is MS Flight Simulator 2004.

Although individual parachutes are not feasible for airline travel there is a company that is developing what's called airframe parachutes. Basically a parachute attached to the structure of the aircraft to allow the entire aircraft to descend "softly" to the ground. They are currently seen on cirrus piston aircraft and retrofits for Cessna 172/182s and also experimentals. The current models however only can handle very slow deployment speeds and aircraft weights. There are parachutes being developed for heavier, faster aircraft such as cirrus' new "Jet" and Diamonds D-Jet. Whether we someday see airframe chutes on commercial airplanes is yet to be seen and many years off due to the high loads they'll have to be designed to handle. Answered by DCARH - Sat Feb 16 11:34:15 2008 Why do new aircraft designs appear so rarely?
Q. Pre WWII DC3s are still in use. Many other commonly used aircraft types like F27s, Boeing 737s, Cessna 150s and 172s are decades old, yet you see very few vintage cars on the road. Silly question but what's the difference? Asked by zee_prime - Fri Dec 21 19:20:08 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. The major designs changes are in the wings and jet engines. Swept wings was a major change in the 1950's like with the B-52 and the other jet aircraft. But Manufactures are always improving wing efficiency whether by winglets or swept back wings. You will always see when a newer version of plane comes out it has better avionics, more power, better efficeincy and you will always hear a number like a 4% increase of wing efficiency.
