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.

Helicopters

Hovercraft

Hovercraft are powered aircraft that achieve flight using large turbines or jets directed downward. Hovercraft of significant size are sometimes called airships.

Sky-Sleds

Sky-Sleds are small, one-person hovercrafts capable of fight. They are generally faster and more nimble than larger hovercraft and airships.

Exo-Frames

Exo-Frames are machines that a user wears like armor and controls. Some have been created to enable flight. For more information on exo-frames see that entry.
