definition of airplane

The airplane it's a type of aircraft whose imposing texture makes it much heavier than the air itself and its most salient physical characteristics are the wings that it has arranged on its sides and the propulsion exerted by a single engine, or several, that allows it to fly.

The operation of the plane is given thanks to the benefits of the aerodynamic force that is produced at the request of its wings, in an upward direction and is called as lift (force caused on a certain body that moves through a fluid and in a direction perpendicular to the speed of the prevailing current).

It should be noted that the lift is plausible as a consequence of the pressure difference that will be caused between the upper and lower part of the wing and as a result of the shape of the aerodynamic profile.

Not all airplanes are identical in terms of structure, although they do share common elements. Passenger airliners are the most popular type of aircraft in the world.

There are various classifications of aircraft, so for its use we meet the civil aircraft (which can be used, either for the transport of cargo, passengers, sanitary purposes, use against fires or to attend any other type of natural disaster and for training) and military aircrafts whose mission is to attend to the different activities and situations raised in the military field, such is the case of the transport of specialized cargo, troops, soldiers, fighters, resupply on flights, among others.

Meanwhile, if we classify them in relation to power plant that they hold we will meet: piston engines, jet engines, or propellants.

And the other use that the term airplane finds is to refer in a general way to various species of passerine birds, among which one stands out that measures around 13 cm. long, the color of its body being black and its belly white.
