anywho, squadron is four planes or more, flight is a single craft.

Answer 5

The plural of Aircraft, is Aircraft!

Answer 6

The plural of "aircraft" is "aircraft."

The word for a group of airplanes depends on how many there are and whether they are civilian or military, modern or old, good guys or bad guys.  You have to get it from the context.

And a bad formation is a "gaggle".

Answer 16

Civil aeroplanes = Fleet.

Military Aeroplanes:-

a few aeroplanes (about 3-5) = Flight

several Flights (about 4-8) = Squadron.

Several squadrons = Wing (not often used since WW2)

several Wings = Group (not often used since WW2).

These are reflected in the names of the RAF ranks.
