"Aircraft" refers to a vehicle that can fly, no distinction is made between heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air vehicles. Yup, an airship is an aircraft as is an airplane, but an airship an airplane. Or, to quote the FAR under definitions, "'Airship' means an engine-driven lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered." "'Airplane' means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by dynamic reaction of the air against the wings."
