"Airplane" and "Aeroplane" redirect here. For other uses, see Airplane (disambiguation) and Aeroplane (disambiguation).

A fixed-wing aircraft (commonly called airplane in North America and aeroplane in many Commonwealth countries. From Fr. aéro- 'air' and Gr. -planos 'wandering'  ) is a heavier-than-air craft where movement of the wings in relation to the aircraft is not used to generate lift. The term is used to distinguish from rotary-wing aircraft, where the movement of the lift surfaces relative to the aircraft generates lift. A more rare type of aircraft that is neither fixed-wing nor rotary-wing is an ornithopter.

Fixed-wing aircraft include a large range of craft from small trainers and recreational aircraft to large airliners and military cargo aircraft. Some aircraft use fixed wings to provide lift only part of the time and may or may not be referred to as fixed-wing.
