Although all airplanes are aircraft,not all aircraft are airplanes. 译：虽然所有的飞机都是飞行器，并非所有的飞行器都是飞机。 The classification begins with categories:within a category, specific classes are identified and within a class, type are identified. 译： 在每个大类可区别出各种小类，每个小类可以区别各种型号。 Hot-air balloons were common in the nineteenth century and are used today for sport. 译：热气球在十九世纪是普遍的，而今天被用做运动。 Aircraft that use the same method of staying aloft and used similar means of propulsion are grouped into the some category. 译：使用同样方法停留在空中，和用相似的推进器装置的航空器被归为同一大类。 Lighter-than-air aircraft ascend by displacing a free mass of heavier air with an enclosed mass of lighter gas。译：轻与空气的飞行器的上升时用一团密闭的较轻的气体置换一团自由的较重的空气来实现的。 Propulsion is provided by an engine and propeller mounted in either a tractor or pusher configuration.译：推进力是由一套发动机和螺旋桨提供的，发动机和螺旋桨可以安装成牵引式或推进式构形。 A glider is an unpowered aircraft with wings and a tail.译:滑翔机是一种有机翼和尾翼的无动力飞行器。 Airships are powered and have controls to direct their movement.译：飞艇是有动力的而且有操作装置来控制他们的运动。 The entire structure of an airplane is called the airframe.译;飞机的整个结构叫做机体。 Most modern airplanes are monoplanes.译：大多数现代飞机都是单翼机。 The engine and propeller on most single-engine airplanes are mounted on the front of the fuselage. 译：大多数单发飞机上的发动机和螺旋桨安装在机身前部。 Lift and drag are the forces produced by the motion of the airplane through the air.译：升力和阻力是飞机在空气中运动时产生的作用力。 Under any changing conditions the airplane is always attempting to equalize the opposing forces and return to static flight.译：在任何变化的条件下，飞机总是试图使相反地作用力相等，恢复静态飞行。 The actions of the physical forces that support an aircraft in flight are not visible.译：支持飞机飞行的自然力是看不见的 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.译：针对每一个作用力与其有一个大小相等方向相反地反作用力。 Only when the mass of air directed down by the wings equals the mass of the airplane does the airplane fly.译：只有当被机翼引导向下流动的空气的质量与飞机的质量相等时飞机才能飞行。 In fact, relative wind is result of the flight path.译：事实上，相对风是飞行路径的结果。 The resultant force created by an airfoil is basically
