Aircraft is both singular and plural. There is no such as thing as “two aircrafts”.
At least that’s what I thought. Maybe I’m wrong.
TO #1- Before you start criticizing why dont you read the article again. When you find the word “aricraft” in it let us know. ( Unless the article was corrected prior to my reading it)
