Aeroplane
Definition
A historical or archaic name given to early generation airplanes; a flying machine heavier than air, propelled by an engine and sustained in the atmosphere by the lift force of fixed wings. Although almost completely replaced by 'avion' in modern technical language, it retains strong documentary and literary value linked to aviation pioneering.
