Airplane
A flying vehicle with wings and engines.
تأخرت الطائرة ساعة كاملة.

The term طائرة (tayyara) comes from the root ط-ي-ر (ṭ-y-r), meaning to fly. The word has evolved over time to represent airplanes in modern aviation.
Used both formally and informally, طائرة appears in discussions about air travel and is commonly found in written communication.
