Just curious, how did you come up with a tram being considered an aircraft? While I suppose that can be a span but personally I would call it a tram. Like a power tower (power pylon) CAN be considered an antenna, I would call it a power tower. A dam isn't a cliff but has cliff characteristics. I simply won't try to classify all objects into the word base.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arvoitus 1 #31 February 15, 2014 To each his own I guess, personally I find it easier to log things when you only have 4 letters to use instead of the whole alphabet and bunch of acronyms you yourself only recognize. Besides I'm personally fond of the air flow classification, although I have no recollection who made it up or where I read it from. If I'm not entirely mistaken its something like, B, air flows around it A, air flows through it S, air flows underneath it E, air flows over it undoubtedly someone can think of an object that doesn't fit that criteria or breaks those rules. But theres always O(ther) for the ones that won't fit.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
