Aircraft are vehicles designed to enable an individual to fly, hover or glide.
Gliders
Gliders are unpowered aircraft. Like gargoyles, they require correct wind conditions (such as updrafts) or high launching points to achieve flight.
Airplanes
Helicopters
Hovercraft
Hovercraft are powered aircraft that achieve flight using large turbines or jets directed downward. Hovercraft of significant size are sometimes called airships.
- Fortress-1
- Fortress-2
- Macbeth's Aircraft
- Harrier Jet
- Pack-Attack Vehicle
- Brod's Hovercraft
- Hunters' Airship
Sky-Sleds
Sky-Sleds are small, one-person hovercraft capable of flight. They are generally faster and more nimble than larger hovercraft and airships.
