An aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or in other words, by being aerodynamically buoyant. Aircraft can be classified as either fixed-wing or rotary-wing. Fixed-wing aircraft are typically powered by propellers or jets, while rotary-wing aircraft use rotor blades for propulsion. Aircraft have been used for military, commercial and recreational purposes since the early 20th century and continue to play an important role in modern society, and are used for transportation of goods and people across long distances, as well as providing emergency services such as search and rescue operations. In addition to this they can also used in scientific research activities such as meteorology and astronomy.
