õhusõiduk, mille tiib on jäigalt konstruktsiooni külge kinnitatud
aircraft capable of flight using wings that generate lift due to the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings

Valdkond ICAO lisade põhjal loodud klassifikaatori järgi: Õhusõidukid
Staatus: kinnitatud
Sisuliselt tähendab lennukit. Terminit kasutatakse, et eristada jäiga tiivakinnitusega õhusõidukeid ja tiivikõhusõidukeid.

Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from rotary-wing aircraft (in which the wings form a rotor mounted on a spinning shaft, e.g. helicopters) and ornithopters (in which the wings are hinged, allowing them to flap in similar manner to a bird). A powered fixed-wing aircraft that gains forward thrust from a jet engine or propeller is typically called an aeroplane, airplane, or simply a plane. Other types of powered fixed-wing aircraft include powered paragliders and some ground effect vehicles. Unpowered fixed-wing aircraft, including free-flying gliders of various kinds and tethered kites, can use moving air to gain height. Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.
Fixed wing denotes a heavier‑than‑air aircraft that is supported in all phases of flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. Fixed wing is an aircraft category.
‘aeroplane’ means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings; ...
