From the FAA site - definition of aircraft.
A device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air.
I would be interested to see if there is a precedent anywhere in the world where a court has declared a football an aircraft...
Next thing you know the FAA will register all football players and the footballs will require N numbers.
