Aviation

Aviation or Air transport refers to the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. Aircraft, include fixed wing (airplane) and rotary wing (helicopter) types, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as balloons and airships (also known as dirigibles.) There are two major categories of aviation: * Civil aviation * Military aviation Civil aviation includes both scheduled air transport and general aviation. == See also == * Aeronautics * Aerospace * Aerospace engineering * Aerostation * Aircraft * Airline * Airport * Air safety * Air traffic control * Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast * Aviation System * Aviation history * :Category:Aviation licenses and certifications * Aviation noise * Avionics * :Category:Aviation * Flight * Flight level * Flight simulator * Flight training * Flying * Gliding * Global Positioning System * Accidents and incidents in aviation * Jet engine * Oshkosh Airshow * List of aviation topics * List of people who died in plane crashes * Timeline of aviation * Pilot licenses * Propeller * Radar * Reciprocating engines * Runway * Spatial disorientation * Alberto_Santos-Dumont * Taxiway * Wright brothers * [http://aviation.freeprohost.com/ Aviation Wiki] Transportation Aviation fa:هوانوردی

What is the difference between "Aviation" and "Air transport"? I propose that these two articles should be merged. Do I have a seconder? --User:GrahamN 00:10 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC) ---- I think that air transport is only a part of aviation. I added a partial list of the different aspects of aviation to the aviation entry. User:Jghiii 01:54 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC) :You may well be right, but I can't at the moment think what the difference is. Please could you give me an example of something in aviation that is not to do with air transport? --User:GrahamN 02:06 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC) ---- Well, to me, "air transport" would mean carrying passengers to a destination. Some might argue that air cargo, like fedex, flying tigers, bulk airfeight, etc. is also air transport. I don't agree, but for this discusion let's say that is. Even combining these things, there is still a whole myriad of other aviation activities. For example... There's recreational aviation. That is, personal aircraft that are used for things like sightseeing, or just the pleasure of flying. This would be with aircraft like small single-engine planes, restored vintage planes, ultralights, and even gliders. Then there's observation and research. Police departments all over the country use aircraft to investigate crimes. And research groups, like universities and NASA use aircraft to collect information about the atmosphere and other areas of science. There's Search and Rescue. Agricultural application (aka crop dusting) is a really big business. And of course there's military combat operations. I think that all of these are not covered by the term air transport. Air transport, plus all these others, plus a few I've probably forgotten, combined make up the category of aviation. User:Jghiii 04:03 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC) ---- OK, I've added a few links. Maybe some kind of seperate AviationWiki would be better for that, but c'est la vie, I say. I'll put up a few more pages (IFR/VFR/...) User:Qwitchibo ------ Isn't this See Also section getting a little too big? It's basically just another "List of aviation topics". I suggest shortening it to just "list of..." and mabye some other topics related to aviation but not aviation as such. (for example "Meteorology")User:Trevor macinnis 05:11, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
