Good to know
  • 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.
