 List of aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list does not generally include variants or subtypes of the aircraft themselves (although there is considerable difference among various manufacturers and designation systems as to what constitutes a new aircraft as opposed to a variant of an existing type).
This list of aircraft is sorted alphabetically, beginning with the name of the manufacturer (or, in certain cases, designer).
It is an inclusive list rather than an exclusive one, meaning that where an aircraft is known under multiple names, designations, or manufacturers, each of these is listed.

The use of transport aircraft enabled the rapid movement of supplies, ammunition, cargo, troops and also casualty evacuation; transport aircraft were also used to drop paratroopers.

 Aircraft engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aircraft engines also tend to use the simplest parts and include two sets of anything needed for reliability, including ignition system (spark plugs and magnetos) and fuel pumps.
Several attempts to produce diesel aircraft engines were made in the 1930s but, at the time, the alloys were not up to the task of handling the much higher compression ratios used in these designs.
Much of the innovation (and most newly constructed planes flying) in the past two decades in private aviation has been in ultralights and homebuilt aircraft, and so has innovtion in powerplants.

 Anti-aircraft warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike the heavier guns, these smaller weapons are still in widespread use today for the same reasons as they were originally introduced, that missile systems cannot traverse or react fast enough to targets that are manuvering close to the ground.
Even this formerly first-rate weapon is currently being replaced by a new missile system, the Rolling Airframe Missile, which is smaller, faster, and allows for mid-flight course correction (guidance) to ensure a hit.
The earliest known use of weapons specifically made for the anti-aircraft role occurred during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.

However, the AirVenture website won't tell you the list of military aircraft expected to attend, and some of the warbird pilots I spoke to were annoyed by the lack of support they received from the organizers.
However, military aircraft, the bread and butter of other airshows, are given a smaller part of the programme at AirVenture.
Since there aren't that many present-day military aircraft at the show, I've combined modern military aircraft with some Vietnam era planes in the post World War Two aircraft highlights page.

 Aircraft - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
The major distinction in aircraft usage is between military aviation, which includes all uses of airplane for military purposes (such as combat, patrolling, search and rescue, reconnaissance, transport, and training), and civil aviation, which includes all uses of airplanes for non-military purposes.
Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine(with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air.
In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air because of aerodynamics, usually by means of wings, or rotors, of some kind.
