Everything about Aerodyne totally explained
An
aerodyne is a heavier-than-air
aircraft which derives
lift from motion. By contrast, an
aerostat (such as a
balloon) uses
buoyancy to
fly.
Types of aerodynes
There are several types of aerodynes, including:
Fixed-wing aerodynes
All aerodynes that owe lift to their wings are fixed-wing aerodynes. The most common example is the aeroplane. Other examples include hang
gliders and
lifting bodies. (A
convertiplane is a fixed-wing aircraft that achieves flight by the physical rotation of its engines.)
Rotary-wing aerodynes
Helicopters are the most widely known, but
autogyros,
gyrodynes, and
tiltrotors are other types of rotary-wing aerodynes.
Ornithopters
An ornithopter is an aircraft that's neither a fixed-wing nor a rotary-wing craft. It obtains lift by the flapping of its wings in a bird-like fashion.
