Airplanes – Airships – Gliders – Helicopters – Hot Air Balloons
Airplanes have significantly impacted global connectivity, commerce, and tourism, shrinking distances and facilitating global transportation networks. They have revolutionized travel, enabled rapid delivery of goods, facilitated emergency response and medical evacuations, and played a crucial role in military operations and surveillance. Here is the access to the complete database (divided by Type):
Airplanes, also known as aeroplanes or fixed-wing aircraft, are the most common and widely used type of aircraft. They have fixed wings that generate lift as they move through the air. Airplanes can range from small single-engine aircraft used for recreational purposes to large commercial airliners and cargo planes capable of carrying hundreds of passengers or significant amounts of freight.

The Airspeed AS.57 Ambassador is a British twin piston-engined airliner designed and produced in the post-war period by Airspeed Ltd.
The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa was a single-engine fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service in World War II.
The Bristol Scout was a single-seat biplane originally designed as a racing aircraft and later used as a fast reconnaissance plane.
The Morane-Saulnier I or Type I was a French fighter aircraft first flown in 1910 and a more powerful version of the Morane-Saulnier N.
Helicopters are rotary-wing aircraft that use rotating blades on top to generate lift and propulsion. They have the unique ability to take off and land vertically and hover in one place. Helicopters are widely used in various applications, including transportation, search and rescue, and military operations.
Leonardo’s Aerial Screw was envisioned as a device resembling a large screw or corkscrew-shaped structure that would enable vertical flight.
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois is a utility military helicopter and the first turbine-powered helicopter in service with the United States military.

The Mil Mi-8, known by its NATO reporting name “Hip,” is a Soviet-designed medium twin-turbine helicopter that is widely produced and used.
Gliders are unpowered aircraft that rely on the natural forces of wind and air currents to stay aloft. They have long wings and are designed to glide through the air for extended periods without an engine. Gliders are used for recreational flying, competitive soaring, and training purposes.
The DFS 230 was a German transport glider developed in 1933 and operated by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
The Airspeed AS.51 Horsa was a British troop-carrying glider developed and manufactured by Airspeed and used during the Second World War.
The Gotha Go 242 was a German transport glider used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. It saw limited combat action.
The Yokosuka Ro-go Ko-gata was a Japanese experimental glider used as a reconnaissance floatplane. It was developed during World War I.
The Bristol XLRQ was a 12-seat amphibious glider aircraft developed for the United States Marine Corps in 1942-43.
Airships, also known as dirigibles or blimps, are lighter-than-air aircraft that use large gas-filled envelopes for buoyancy. They have engines for propulsion and control surfaces for maneuverability. Airships are relatively slower than airplanes but offer unique capabilities for long-distance travel and aerial observation.
The Astra-Torres Airship was a French non-rigid airship built by Société Astra between 1908 and 1922 and designed by Leonardo Torres Quevedo.

The SS Class Airship were cheap and simple small non-rigid airships or “blimps” designed to counter German U-boats.
Lana de Terzi’s Flying Boat was an early experimental aircraft built by Enrico Forlanini and Giovanni Battista “Lana” de Terzi in 1905.
The Zeppelin LZ 10 Schwaben was a German rigid passenger airship built in 1911 by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and operated by DELAG.
Hot air balloons are aircraft that use hot air to generate lift. They consist of a large envelope filled with heated air and are propelled by wind currents. Hot air balloons are primarily used for recreational purposes and provide a serene and scenic flying experience.
