We should’ve called airplanes flyors.

We say "flyver" in Danish which basically would be flyor in English. "At flyve" means "to fly".

The 'proper' word - so to speak - "flyvemaskine" directly translates to "flymachine", compounding "(to) fly" and "machine". Though if you're really busy you can just call it a "fly".
