Aircraft Types
Commercial and Military
Dr. Osama Al-Habahbeh
Types of Aircraft
• Aircraft are categorized according to their
intended purpose.
• There are three common categories, they
are:
• General Aviation
• Commercial Aviation
• Military Aviation
General Aviation
• General aviation includes those used for
training, business and agricultural.
• Aircraft in this category generally hold less
than 12 passengers.
General Aviation
Learjet Business A/C
Commercial Aviation
• This category includes commuter, cargo,
and Firefighting aircraft.
• Usually hold in excess of 20 passengers.

Helicopters
• Helicopters are rotary wing A/C ranging in
size from single seat to 50 passenger.
• Some carry loads in excess of 10 tons.
• Fuel capacities range from 70-1000 gal.
• Internal fuel tanks are usually located under
the cabin floor.
• Auxiliary fuel tanks are located in the aft
section or attached to the outside of the
cabin
Military Aviation
Helicopters
• Helicopters are constructed mainly of
Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium, and
composites.
• Hazards included:
– Rotor blades which can dip to 4’ of the ground
– The tail rotor which can be nearly invisible
when spinning.
– Approaching from uphill or carrying objects
above the waist.
Military Aviation
Helicopters
• Safety around Helicopters:
–
–
–
–
–
Always approach in sight of the pilot
Approach when pilot gives signal
Approach from downhill if possible.
Carry objects horizontally below waist
Maintain sufficient clearance for the main rotor
and tail rotor, Clear the ground around the A/C
for at least 50’ from the helipad.

The Boeing 737 is a short- to medium-range
twin-engine narrow-body jet airliner. Originally
developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine
airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727
85,000 kg MTOW
Ultralight aviation (called
microlight aviation in
some countries)
It is the flying of
lightweight, 1 or 2 seat
fixed-wing aircraft
Glider is a heavierthan-air aircraft that is
supported in flight by
the dynamic reaction of
the air against its lifting
surfaces, and whose free
flight does not depend
on an engine
Four turboprop engine
tilting wing aircraft
A Tiltrotor generates lift and propulsion
by way of one or more powered rotors
(sometimes called proprotors) mounted
on rotating engine pods or nacelles
usually at the ends of a fixed wing. It
combines the vertical lift capability of a
helicopter with the speed and range of a
conventional fixed-wing aircraft
The Eurocopter X3, or popularly known as the X-cube, is a compound
helicopter under experimental development by Eurocopter. Being the
leader in the military and civil helicopter manufacturing, Eurocopter aims
at a high aircraft performance for all utilities, and masters the innovation
efficiently. The Eurocopter X3 is a milestone in the helicopter industry and
is based on the concept of innovative rotary-wing aircraft. While still under
development and flight testing procedure, the Eurocopter X3 is believed to
reach the peak performance and efficiency in no time.
An amphibious aircraft or amphibian is an aircraft that can
take off and land on both land and water. Fixed-wing
amphibious aircraft are seaplanes (flying boats and
floatplanes) that are equipped with retractable wheels, at the
expense of extra weight and complexity, plus diminished range
and fuel economy compared to planes designed for land or
water only. Some amphibians are fitted with reinforced keels
which act as skiis, allowing them to land on snow or ice with
their wheels up and are dubbed tri-phibians
An amphibious helicopter can rest and take
off from either land or water.
UAVs
(Drones)
Drones
Single engine rear
pushing single
prop gyro-craft
Unpowered rotor develops lift.
Engine-powered propeller
provides thrust. The rotor must
have air flowing it to generate
rotation
Rear push prop
powered parachute
Powered hang
glider
A Ground Effect Vehicle attains level flight close to the surface of the Earth,
made possible by a cushion of high-pressure air created by the aerodynamic
interaction between the wings and the surface. The 'flying' altitude is limited
to one half of its wingspan (i.e., it is easier to fly closer to earth surface!)
The basic principle of a hovercraft; Air is directed underneath
the craft by a blower, and the air that escapes out of the
flexible skirt creates a near frictionless environment which
enables the craft to hover. The craft can move forward and
turn by using propellers to propel the craft.
