The devices that can fly off the ground are collectively called aircraft. Flight is the main feature of aviation model. Aircraft can be divided into outer space aircraft and atmospheric aircraft. Spacecraft in outer space are called spacecraft, such as man-made satellites, spacecraft, etc. The aircraft in the atmosphere is called aircraft, which includes light aircraft and heavy aircraft.

Although both light aircraft and heavy aircraft can fly in the atmosphere, their flight history is very different.

Light aircraft refers to an aircraft whose weight is lighter than air of the same volume. It is lifted up by the buoyancy of the air. According to Archimedes' law, any object in the air will be subject to upward buoyancy, and the magnitude of this buoyancy is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the object. If the weight of the aircraft is equal to the weight of the air it displaces, the buoyancy it receives will be greater than gravity, and the aircraft will rise like a wooden block on the bottom of the water.

Common light aircraft are balloons and airships. Balloons and airships are filled with lighter gases than air, such as hydrogen and helium. Some balloons are also filled with hot air. Balloons have no power plant and move by natural wind. The airship uses the engine as power, and the engine drives the propeller to push the airship forward. Airships are generally streamlined to reduce resistance. The airship is also equipped with a tail wing to ensure its stability when moving forward, and controls the flight direction of the airship through the tail wing.

氣(qi)毬的(de)毬(qiu)囊一般都用(yong)不透氣的佈(bu)，而(er)糢型氣毬則(ze)用(yong)紙(zhi)。

Balloons are usually made of airtight cloth, while model balloons are made of paper.

Lift off conditions of light aircraft. To design and make a light aircraft, we must consider its buoyancy and gravity. Only when the buoyancy is greater than gravity can a light aircraft take off. For the convenience of calculation, we introduce the concept of specific gravity. Specific gravity is the weight of a substance per unit volume. Taking the hot air balloon as an example, the method of calculating buoyancy and gravity is introduced.

重(zhong)航(hang)空器

Heavy aircraft

重(zhong)航(hang)空(kong)器昰(shi)指牠(ta)的質量比衕體(ti)積(ji)空氣重(zhong)的航(hang)空器。飛(fei)機、火(huo)箭(jian)、導彈等(deng)都屬(shu)于(yu)重(zhong)航(hang)空(kong)器。顯(xian)然(ran)，重(zhong)航(hang)空(kong)器所(suo)受(shou)到(dao)的浮力(li)比(bi)重(zhong)力小得多，不可能依(yi)靠(kao)浮力陞空(kong)。飛(fei)機(ji)可(ke)以利用(yong)空(kong)氣(qi)動(dong)力(li)陞空。火(huo)箭咊(he)導(dao)彈(dan)直(zhi)接(jie)利(li)用(yong)反(fan)作用力(li)陞(sheng)空(kong)。重航(hang)空(kong)器(qi)的(de)飛(fei)行(xing)原(yuan)理(li)要比(bi)輕航(hang)空(kong)器復(fu)雜得多。

Heavy aircraft means an aircraft whose mass is heavier than air of the same volume. Aircraft, rockets and missiles are heavy aircraft. Obviously, the buoyancy of heavy aircraft is much smaller than gravity, and it is impossible to lift off by buoyancy. The plane can take off by aerodynamic force. Rockets and missiles take off directly by reaction. The flight principle of heavy aircraft is much more complex than that of light aircraft.
