Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain aviation sectors and how they work, support passengers, pilots and careers with sourced information, describe safety and regulation, and treat military aviation historically and organisationally without operational detail.

The activities and industries involved in the design, operation and use of aircraft, including civil aviation for passengers and cargo, general aviation, aerial work such as maritime patrol, survey and firefighting, and military aviation as an organisational and historical topic, together with airports, air traffic management and regulation; aviation is described here at the level of systems, safety, careers and history without operational military detail.

What it is for: Flying and its systems.

It can be explain aviation sectors; support passengers and careers; describe safety and regulation; treat military aviation historically.
