Aircraft are equipped with engines that allow them to soar just high enough above the surface to qualify as flight. Aircraft are manufactured by the Basic and Advanced Air Factory.
Free to float above the surface and pass over obstacles that would block more conventional units, aircraft are the best choice for scouting and harassment. Aircraft occur in two distinctly similar types, planes and gunships. Planes are winged vessels, fast and a little simple-minded, still learning the finer points of pitch control. Gunships are more leisurely, floating in any direction they please and frequently towards anti-air turrets.
Despite their moniker, aircraft are not restricted to flying in "air" and can float over airless planets like the moon planet without trouble. While it is generally agreeed that their wings are cosmetic, the fact that aircraft and their weapons cannot reach the slightly higher orbital layer is an issue that has puzzled many leading scientists.
Aircraft regularly defy physics. In addition to the obvious gift of flight, aircraft fly through each other with ghost-like flair. This lack of collision has allowed for a diverse multitude of creative strategies employing the utility an unrealistically tight formation of aircraft, such strategies including the "bumblebee snipe" and the "hornet snipe" and the "air fabber snipe".
The Hummingbird is an aggressive and exceedingly belligerent fighter plane. Despite being dreadfully outmatched, the hummingbird eventually pushed all other fighters out of the aircraft roster through sheer determination.
The Hornet is a heavy bomber that does not actually drop bombs and is capable of stopping in midair. Hornets refuse to answer questions on these matters.
The Pelican are the envy of all other aircraft, as they enjoy being exceedingly fragile while also fulfilling the hazardous and rewarding job of ferrying ground units from one place to another.
Because losing to a bomber snipe is often sudden and unexpected, it is considered good manners to send in a large number of hummingbirds first to signal to your opponent that you are intending to bomber snipe them.
