Note 1: A [[tiltwing]] or [[tiltrotor]] aircraft functions as an aeroplane during normal (horizontal) flight and as helicopter during low-speed flight.


| list1={{Aircraft types (by method of thrust and lift)/table}}
⚫
Note 2: For full-size aircraft with powered rotors the rotor is normally tilted to achieve thrust (i.e. a helicopter). Some toys (e.g. [[Balloon helicopter]]) do have a powered rotor with no means to tilt the rotor to produce horizontal thrust.

Note 3: [[Ground effect vehicle]]s and [[hovercraft]] are not included in the table, nor are [[experimental aircraft]] with novel thrust / lift solutions (e.g. [[Coleopter]], [[Flying bedstead]], [[Avrocar]] and [[Flettner airplane]]) and balloon-wing hybrids (e.g. [[Kytoon]], [[Hybrid airship]] and [[Hybrid moored balloon]]).
