F-104 Starfighter, remastered

An F-104 Starfighter pursues an unidentified flying object

An aircraft was a type of air vehicle designed for flight within an atmosphere. They were in common usage on the planet Earth during the 20th century.

After being flung back to 1969, the USS Enterprise registered as some sort of aircraft on an Omaha United States Air Force base's RADAR, and was pursued as an unidentified flying object by one of their own aircraft (an F-104 Starfighter). (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday")

Military aircraft commonly patrolled the skies on a number of planets in the 22nd century, including the Coridan aircraft, Gosis' species aircraft and the Vulcan patrol craft. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem", "The Communicator", "Kir'Shara")

The Kazon fighter was described as a "small aircraft" in the 8 June 1994 draft of the script for VOY: "Caretaker", though would later be established as a spacecraft.
