1 .
A light rigid plane used in a ["
e ]
rial navigation to oppose sudden upward or downward movement in the air ,
as in gliding machines ;
specif .,
such a plane slightly inclined and driven forward as a lifting device in some flying machines .
Also called {
airfoil }.

Hence :
A heavier -
than -
air flying machine using such a device to provide lift ;
an airplane .
In a modern aeroplane ,
the airfoils are called the {
wings },
and most of the lift is derived from these surfaces .
In contrast to helicopters ,
the wings are fixed to the passenger compartment (
airframe )
and do not move relative to the frame ;
thus such a machine is called a {
fixed -
wing aircraft }.
These machines are called monoplanes ,
biplanes ,
triplanes ,
or quadruplanes ,
according to the number of main supporting planes (
wings )
used in their construction .
After 1940 few planes with more than one airfoil were constructed ,
and these are used by hobbyists or for special purposes .
Being heavier than air they depend for their levitation on motion imparted by the thrust from either propellers driven by an engine ,
or ,
in a jet plane ,
by the reaction from a high -
velocity stream of gases expelled rearward from a jet engine .
They start from the ground by a run on small wheels or runners ,
and are guided by a steering apparatus consisting of horizontal and vertical movable planes ,
which usually form part of the wings or tail .
There are many varieties of form and construction ,
which in some cases are known by the names of their inventors .
In U .
S .,
an aeroplane is usually called an {
airplane }
or {
plane }.
