Aviatic

/ˌeɪviˈætɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or connected with aviation or the operation of aircraft.

Etymology

Derived from 'aviation' combined with the suffix '-ic,' this adjective form developed in the early 20th century alongside the rapid growth of powered flight.

Kelly Says

The term 'aviatic' is relatively rare in modern English because 'aviation' itself is used more commonly as a modifier, but it appears in historical aviation literature and technical documents from the early 1900s.
