Any of a type of fixed-wing aircraft that is heavier than air, powered by a screw propeller or a high-velocity engine, and supported by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings is referred to as an aeroplane. See history of flight for a detailed account of the invention of the aeroplane and the birth of civil aviation.
