Pocket plane

This page is a temporary stub, because the concept that it covered came up enough to be worth explaining but we haven't had time to write a full article about it. It will eventually be replaced by a more in-depth article.

A pocket plane is a plane (in the æalogical sense) of very small volume. This is not a technical term, and there is no exact cutoff for what qualifies as a pocket plane; certainly any plane less than a kilometer or so across would generally be considered a pocket plane, and any plane the size of the Earth would not, but there is a range of intermediate sizes that are iffier.
