- Balloon (aircraft) [r]: Lighter-than-air craft that remains aloft due to its buoyancy, and without a propulsion system, lifted by inflation of one or more containers with a gas lighter than air or with heated air. [e]
- Boeing [r]: US-based company making aircraft and spacecraft. [e]
- Buoyancy [r]: The upward force exerted on an object that is partially or completely immersed in a fluid having a density that is higher than the density of the object. [e]
- Cargo cult [r]: A group of social movements that began in Melanesia in the late nineteenth century which believe that manufactured goods, including canned goods, airplanes, and automobiles, were created by spirits or ancestors of Melanesian people. [e]

- Geophysical MASINT [r]: A branch of measurement and signature intelligence that involves phenomena transmitted through the earth (ground, water, atmosphere) and manmade structures including emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, vibrations, and magnetic field or ionosphere disturbances. [e]
- Glider [r]: Type of unpowered aircraft that uses aerodynamic lift to slow its rate of descent. [e]
