Some nomenclature in aeronautics which have been approved by the Commission Permanente Internationale d'Aeronautique.
A non-steerable balloon is called an "aerostat," and a steerable balloon is an "aeronat." An apparatus that is heavier than air is an "aeronef," or "appareil d'aviation." An "aeronef" with one or more propellers on an axle which is vertical, ornearly so, is a "helicoptere."
An "aeronef" formed of one or more sustaining planes, with one or more propellers on a horizontal axle, is an "aeroplane." An "aeronaut" propelled by two or more wings is a "mechanical bird."
