It's just a word we use to describe both flying creatures and flying vehicles.Vehicle is a type modifier. Only Aberrations, Plants, Constructs and Undead can have this type modifier. A Vehicle has no Dexterity and cannot take move actions.Note that this means a Vehicle CAN make attacks or cast spells. An attack is made with a vessel weapon and thus uses the Vessel Weapon Attack Modifier (which doesn't depend on BAB or Dexterity, natch). It can only make a single attack per round (like anyone else) unless it takes the full attack option, which would allow it to make two attacks if it had at least two Vessel Weapons -- with the usual penalties for making attacks with two weapons. A vessel can have the Multi-Attack feat to allow it to make more attacks per round.Because a Vehicle has no Dexterity, it cannot cast spells with a somatic component. It can of course take the Still Spell feat and cast such spells without their somatic component.This means Vehicles do roll Initiative. They don't apply any Dexterity bonus but they could have Improved Initiative as a feat.Obviously, a Vehicle with a zero Intelligence cannot take any actions at all (DMG. page 72).</blockquote>
