Light plane is a term used to describe a variety of aircrafts that are typically smaller and lighter than other types of planes. The three most common types of light planes are propjet, GLIDER, and puddlejumper. A propjet is an aircraft that uses a propeller to generate thrust, while a GLIDER is an unpowered aircraft that relies on air currents to stay in the air. Lastly, a puddlejumper is a small, single-engine aircraft that is often used for short-distance flights.
