Definition
飞行器 is a formal, general term for any flying device or vehicle — including airplanes, helicopters, drones, spacecraft, and UFOs. It is broader and more technical than the everyday word 飞机 (airplane). You'll encounter it in scientific, military, or news contexts where the specific type of flying object is unknown or needs a category label.
