Graceful Airplanes, pt 4 - Diana 2.jpg (1/1) - classification.jpg (1/1) [37K]

At least until that little door opens up and a little motor pops out............ It still isn't an airplane. It is a "self-launched" glider. It is, of course, an aeroplane. Or, more pedantically, it's an 'Aeroplane (Self-launching Motor Glider)', at least in the UK. The (UK's) Air Navigation Order 2005 contains a table entitled Classification of Aircraft, a copy of which I attach for general interest (if there is any). Though not shown on the table, microlights and powered parachutes are classed as 'Aeroplane (Landplane)' and hang gliders are classed as 'Glider'. This picture actually comes the CAA's CAP 393 as the Order's table (on-line version) appears to have been screwed up a little. http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP393.pdf Yes, thank you. An 'airplane' is an abomination. Indeed. An "airplane" is an Americanism and an abomination. And a "plane/plain" is where the rain in Spain mainly falls... |
