• Aircraft — Any technical apparatus capable of sustaining itself in the atmosphere and moving through airspace due to the reactions of the air, other than its reactions against the earth's surface. This vast category structurally includes both aircraft lighter than air, such as balloons and airships, and aircraft heavier than air, such as airplanes, helicopters, and gliders.
• Aeronaval — Belonging simultaneously to aviation and the navy, or intended for joint tactical operations executed by air and maritime forces. The term applies to logistical bases, complex tactical exercises, combined radar technologies, or large vessels (such as aircraft carriers) structurally designed to launch and recover aircraft at sea.
• Aerial vehicle — Any vehicle, complex technical apparatus, or aircraft structurally designed to navigate, sustain itself, and perform transport operations within Earth's atmosphere. This vast category encompasses both lighter-than-air craft (balloons, airships) and heavier-than-air craft (planes, helicopters, drones, air-cushion vehicles).
• Airbus — A common noun utilized generically in civil aviation to denote a large passenger aircraft, featuring a wide-body fuselage and a massive transport capacity, designed for medium to long-haul flights. Structurally, the term entered the international technical vocabulary as a linguistic metaphor (air bus), describing an aircraft specifically configured for the democratized, efficient, and mass transport of passengers between major global urban hubs.
• Anti-icing — A system, device, or technical method utilized to prevent the formation and accretion of ice (icing) on the surfaces of an aircraft or industrial installations exposed to low temperatures. Unlike de-icing, which removes already formed ice, anti-icing operates proactively through thermal, pneumatic, or fluid methods.
• Aviocoleopter — An unconventional or experimental type of aircraft (or flight apparatus design) characterized by an annular, cylindrical, or tubular wing that completely surrounds the fuselage or propulsion system. This distinctive structural design, inspired by the elytra of certain beetles (coleoptera), offers theoretical advantages regarding vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), airflow channeling, and reduction of aerodynamic drag at specific angles of attack.
• Airplane — An aircraft heavier than air, equipped with fixed wings that generate aerodynamic lift and propelled by one or more piston, turbojet, or turboprop engines. This means of air transport is destined for the rapid displacement of passengers, cargo, or the execution of special military and civil missions within the lower layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
