Study Notes
Aircraft Types
- Aerodyne: An aircraft that relies on aerodynamic forces for lift, using wings to generate lift.
- Ballistic aircraft: An aircraft that relies mainly on ballistics for lift, using propulsion to generate lift, such as rockets.
- No aircraft type: There is no type of aircraft that relies on Archimedean thrust for lift, as Archimedean thrust is not a principle of lift generation in aircraft.
