Aircraft are vehicles that operate within the Earth's atmosphere.
Aircraft remain aloft using on two basic principles: 1) aerodynamically by pushing air downward or 2) aerostatically by using low density gas.
Most aircraft use aerodynamic lift. These include airplanes and helicopters.
Aircraft that use aerostatic lift include balloons and airships.
