A steam-powered aircraft is an aircraft propelled by a steam engine. Steam power was used during the 19th century, but fell into disuse with the arrival of the more practical internal combustion engine at the beginning of the pioneer era.
Steam power is distinct from its use as a lifting gas in thermal airships and early balloons.
