WING AIRCRAFT

The Invention of planes:

Aeroplane or airplane, a fixed-wing aircraft

Job 30:22

"You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride;

Job 9:26

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

A fixed wing aircraft is an aircraft capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings. Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from rotary-wing aircraft in which the wings form a rotor mounted on a spinning shaft and ornithopters in which the wings flap in similar manner to a bird.

The wings of a fixed-wing aircraft are not necessarily rigid; kites, hang-gliders and aeroplanes using wing-warping or variable geometry are all regarded as fixed-wing aircraft.

A powered fixed-wing aircraft that gains forward thrust from an engine is typically called an aeroplane, airplane, or simply a plane. Aeroplanes include powered paragliders, powered hang gliders and some ground effect vehicles.

Unpowered fixed-wing aircraft, including free-flying gliders of various kinds and tethered kites, can use moving air to gain height.

Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.

Psalm 18:10

"....soaring on the wings of the wind.

Psalm 138:9

If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:[Matthew 24:20]
