I've seen the whole Escaflowne series, and it does a great job of mixing
air-vehicles with medieval battle. In Escaflowne, there are two kinds of
flight.
The flying mechas get their energy from dragon hearts (a magical crystal
each dragon has inside itself). These can be found either by killing a
dragon, or from mining a dragon burial ground.
Other ships (notably the Zaibach flying fortress) mine a special "floating
rock", which is found in obscure corners of the land. These rocks are
attached to the ships to make them fly.
