Il existe de nombreuses manières de classer les avions : la plus commode, cependant, est la différenciation des critères de propulsion, de forme et de destination. En fonction du mode de propulsion, on distingue tout d'abord les avions sans moteur ou planeurs, les avions à hélice(s) et à moteur à pistons (avions à hélices tractives ou à hélices propulsives, selon que les hélices sont placées en avant ou en arrière de l'aile), les avions à turboréacteurs ou à turbopropulseurs, etc. Par opposition aux avions à hélices, on parle également d'avions à propulsion par réaction et, parmi ceux-ci, d'avions-fusées. 2, record 1, French, - avion%20%C3%A0%20h%C3%A9lice
