+# The simulator-independent aircraft classes.
+#
+# This module contains the aircraft classes that contain some general data
+# about each aircraft type in the MAVA Fleet. The base class, \ref Aircraft
+# also implements some parts of the logging and traces some data. The classes
+# are also responsible for creating the \ref mlx.checks "checkers". Most of
+# them are created by the \ref Aircraft class' constructor, but there can be
+# type-specific differences. For example the lights are different for different
+# types, so there is a \ref Aircraft._appendLightsLoggers "function" which can
+# be reimplemented in child classes, if needed. This class maintains also the
+# \ref SmoothedValue "smoothed values" of the IAS and the VS and set these
+# values in the \ref mlx.fs.AircraftState "aircraft state" when it is received
+# from the simulator.
