Aeronautical equivalents of the nautical terms "port" and "starboard" [closed]
Port and starboard are used in aeronautical contexts as well as plain old nautical ones.
See these definitions:
Starboard
noun the right-hand side of or direction from a vessel or aircraft, facing forward.
Port2
noun the left-hand side of a vessel or aircraft, facing forward.
I know nothing of aviation beyond the experience of a passenger, but I would assume the terms port and starboard are used in the air as on the sea. I'm prepared to be corrected by any aviators present.
EDIT:
The OED confirms both Dictionary.com and my intuition. Definition A of the noun port is
The left side of a ship or aircraft, looking forward
Definition A of starboard is:
The right-hand side of a ship . . . Also used with reference to aircraft
My emphasis in both.
