Abstract This Chap. 1 is a rather a unique one! It provides a rigorous classification of all types of aircrafts and its sources of power. The first part classifies aircrafts as aerostats/aerodynes, fixed wing/rotary wing (or rotorcrafts), and hybrid fixed/rotary wings as well as all other lift aircrafts (flapping wing or ornithopter, lifting body, and fan wing). The second part handles power plant types. Power plants belong to two main groups, namely, external and internal combustion engines. External combustion engines are steam, stirling, and nuclear engines. Internal combustion engines are further classified as shaft and reaction engines. Shaft engine group is either of the intermittent combustion types (Wankel and piston) or continuous combustion types (turboprop, turboshaft, and propfan). Reaction engines are either of the athodyd or turbine engines. Athodyd engines include ramjet, scramjet, and pulsejet (valved, valveless, and pulse detonation types). Finally, turbine-based engines include turbojet, turbofan, turbo-ramjet, turbo-rocket and advanced ducted fan engines. Other power sources are electric and human powered aircrafts.
