there is no plural of Aircraft,
the word is made of two seperate words,neither having plural versions
air...craft,
better to say flying metal objects,

What on earth are you talking about, PP? They are 'aircraft' in the plural.

Way to support your claim, Orville ;P (messing around)

But pp, you are right that air doesn't have a plural, but crafts doesn't? Did they teach you arts and _craft_ at school? Crafts is a word. Air just modifies it.

Either works.

How often do you hear the term "watercrafts"? Never! So it should be for "Aircraft"!!! End of story!!!!!!!!!

AIRCRAFT is an object and more than one object is always objects hence AIRCRAFTS

I have only heard "aircrafts" from those for whom English is a second language.

The plural is aircraft, hovercraft, space craft. But carpentry and weaving are crafts. Same word, different meanings, different plurals.
