In Czech we call it "vrtulník" (propeller thing), which I find kinda hilarious now that I think about it.
The german word for aeroplane is similar, "Flugzeug" directly translates to "flying thing". Helicopter is also fun, "Hubschrauber" translates to "lifting screwer".
Not to be confused with Hubschraubär.
