The kind of person that tries to analyze the faults in everything...often you can find me pondering such inanities as how the airplane is not appropriately termed.
Example: A plane is an area of a two-dimensional surface having determinate extension and spatial direction or position, and air is the composition of gasses which fills our atmosphere to its highest and lowest levels. So, logically, one would think that an airplane specifically would be referring to the dimension of space defined in an atmospheric level but coordinated as a layer of many in a spherical (our Earth and Atmosphere) geometric matrix.
Conclusion: You can travel on an airplane because traveling on a surface generated by a straight line moving at a constant velocity with respect to a fixed point is plausible. And you could see an airplane because we have millions of planes of air around us. As well, you could even make an airplane because all it requires is an isolated zone of potential and equivocal space. But, an airplane as the composition of shaped metal and alloys that has been developed as a means of air transportation, is incorrectly named.
Airship is a much more suitable appellation. ☼_☼
