An aeroplane (also known as an airplane or simply plane) is a powered fixed-wing aircraft capable of flight using wings that generate lift due to the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings. Planes are propelled forward by thrust, usually from a jet engine or propeller.
Most planes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.
