Properties:

Properties	Definition	Type
AEROPLANE	A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given conditions of flight.	enum value
UNMANNED_FREE_BALLOON	A non-power-driven, unmanned, lighter-than-air aircraft in free flight.	enum value
UNMANNED_AERIAL_VEHICLE	An unmanned aerial vehicle is a pilotless aircraft, in the sense of Article 8 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which is flown without a pilot-in-command on-board and is either remotely and fully controlled from another place (ground, another aircraft, space) or programmed and fully autonomous.	enum value
SELF_SUSTAINING_POWERED_SAILPLANE	A powered aeroplane with available engine power which allows it to maintain level flight but not to take off under its own power.	enum value
ROTORCRAFT	A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors.	enum value
POWERED_LIFT	A heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical take-off, vertical landing, and low-speed flight, which depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for the lift during these flight regimes and on non-rotating aerofoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight.	enum value
ORNITHOPTER	A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on planes to which a flapping motion is imparted.	enum value
HELICOPTER	A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes.	enum value
GYROPLANE	A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors which rotate freely on substantially vertical axes.	enum value
GLIDER	A non-power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given conditions of flight.	enum value
BALLOON	A non-power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.	enum value
AIRSHIP	A power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.	enum value
