An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly through the air (or through any other atmosphere). (Most rocket vehicles are not aircraft because they are not supported by the surrounding air). All the human activity which surrounds aircraft is called aviation.
Manned aircraft are flown by a pilot. Until ca. the 1960s, unmanned aircraft were called drones. During the 1960s, the US military brought the term remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) into use. More recently the term Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has become common.
