- Fixed-wing aircraft [r]: Vehicles that remain aloft using the lift from the flow of air over wings which are fixed in position, in relation to the rest of their structure. [e]
- Flight (biology) [r]: Aerial locomotion by living organisms. [e]
- Pitch (dynamics) [r]: Movement of an object, in the vertical plane, with respect to its longitudinal plane, such as diving or climbing [e]
- Roll (dynamics) [r]: A motion of an object in which it rotates along its longitudinal axis, changing its vertical but not horizontal orientation [e]

- Human [r]: Bipedal mammalian species native to most continents and sharing a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans; notable for evolving language and adapting its habitat to its own needs. [e]
- Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. [e]
