aeronefn.

Brit.

/ˈɛːrə(ʊ)nɛf/, U.S.

/ˈɛroʊˌnɛf/,

/ˈɛrəˌnɛf/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French aéronef.

Etymology: < French aéronef kind of airship (1844), heavier-than-air aircraft (1861 in the French patent corresponding to quot. 1861) < aéro- aero- comb. form + nef ship (see nef n.¹).The French word originally denoted a kind of lighter-than-air aircraft. It was then used in the work of M. de Ponton d'Amécourt and G. de La Landelle, who applied it to heavier-than-air aircraft and who are sometimes credited with the coinage. However, the word continued to be used to denote lighter-than-air aircraft as well. It was officially redefined as any kind of powered aircraft in 1909 (see quot. 1910¹) and as such contrasted with aérostat aerostat n. For a more detailed discussion see S. Stubelius Airship, Aeroplane, Aircraft (1958) 210–17.

Aeronautics. Now historical and rare.

A flying machine, an aircraft; spec. (a) a lighter-than-air flying machine, a balloon, esp. a dirigible balloon, an airship; (b) a heavier-than-air flying machine, esp. an aeroplane (see also quot. 1910¹).In earlier use often as a rendering of or with reference to French use of the word. The varying denotation of the word in English partly reflects similar variation in French (see note in etymology).
