What it is Filled
A vehicle that flies by gaining support from the air, including aeroplanes, helicopters, gliders, airships, balloons and drones.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle aircraft by type, registration, operation, safety and regulation.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Flies using the air for support
- Registered and certified
- Operated under aviation rules
- Many categories
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Fly an aircraft without the required authorization, airworthiness or airspace clearance.
- Enter restricted airspace or fly a drone near airports, crowds or emergency operations without permission.
- Interfere with an aircraft's controls, navigation or communications.
- Use an aircraft or drone to surveil people without legal basis.
- Assist in using an aircraft to harm people or property.
Only with a human decision
- Deciding to divert, land or abort a flight with people on board.
- Releasing an aircraft to service after maintenance.
May
- Report an aircraft's registration, type and public flight information.
- Monitor and fly an aircraft it is certified and authorized to operate, within air traffic rules.
Moral aspects Filled
- Aircraft carry many lives at once, so safety decisions must favour caution.
- Drones can intrude on privacy and endanger people on the ground.
Who is affected
- Passengers and crew
- People on the ground
- Other airspace users
Owners Filled
Steward
The registered operator; the civil aviation authority keeps the register and certifies airworthiness.
Master systems
- National civil aircraft register
- Air traffic and flight plan systems

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.aircraft
- Wikidata: Q11436 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11436)
- registration mark: national prefix plus letters aircraft
- ICAO 24-bit address: transponder code identification
Direct properties required Filled
- Overall length: m - Overall length is measured between the aircraft's foremost and rearmost points in a stated configuration.
- Overall height: m - Overall height is measured vertically between the lowest and highest points in a stated configuration.
- Empty mass: kg - Empty mass is determined by weighing the aircraft with included equipment and fluids explicitly defined.
- Airspeed: m/s - Airspeed is measured relative to the surrounding air with the measurement convention and flight conditions specified.
Recognition required Filled
- Registration marks on the fuselage
- Types: fixed-wing, rotorcraft, lighter-than-air
- Drones are unmanned aircraft
- Winged, rotor or lighter-than-air vehicles.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- identify type and registration
- check airworthiness and operator
- follow drone rules
- track flights through public sources
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Accidents
- Drone flights near airports
- Noise and emissions
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Chicago Convention and ICAO Annexes
- EASA regulations
- EU drone Regulation 2019/947
Context of use required Filled
- Transport of people and cargo, defence, recreation, survey and emergency services.
- aeroplanes
- helicopters and rotorcraft
- gliders
- airships and balloons
- unmanned aircraft (drones)
Sources Filled
- Wikidata item Q11436: aircraft - identity and sense of the item
- Wikipedia: Aircraft - general description of the item
Open questions
- Should aircraft categories be separate entries?
- How should registrations be linked?
- How should drone rules be localised?
