Zeppelins are aircraft. No. They're airships. "Aircraft" normally refers to heavier-than-air- vehicles. From FAR Part 1 Aircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. Bob Moore

From FAR Part 1 Aircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. Yup, an airship is an aircraft as is an airplane, but an airship an airplane. Or, to quote the FAR under definitions, "'Airship' means an engine-driven lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered." "'Airplane' means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by dynamic reaction of the air against the wings." Guy

From FAR Part 1 Aircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. Yeah, like that lawn chair w/ balloons. But of course: "'Balloon' means a lighter-than-air aircraft that is not engine-driven." Works for the FAA, and me;-) Guy
