Usage notes
The Esperanto words, flugaparato, and all technically mean a flying machine and thus can be used to mean any type of aircraft, they normally are used to mean airplane. In this sense, they are interchangeable with and, which refer specifically to an airplane. However (based on the Esperanto version of Google, searching only pages in Esperanto) in terms of aviadilo and aeroplano are the most often used, followed in order by flugmaŝino, flugaparato, and avio. An early Esperanto word to describe aircraft, is now only rarely used, yielding less than 100 hits on the Esperanto version of Google. Some Esperantists prefer aviadilo to aeroplano because it is viewed to be too much of an anglicism.
