Convert Entity Property to String

I am doing some work with my own EntityStores as well as the built in Wolfram Entities. After pulling a subset of data, I am wanting to structure it as a dataset and to do so I need to be able to extract the property names to use as keys in an association thread.
It easy to get the Properties, but as you can see, the result comes out structured like an Entity.
I tried using TextString but essentially got the input form:
If I were dealing with the Entities themselves, I could use simply use ["Name:]
I can do a work around with StringSplit, but that seems like a very round about way to do things.
StringSplit[#, "[", ","] & /@
TextString /@ EntityProperties["Aircraft"][[All, 2]] // Flatten
Is there a solution that I am missing that doesn't require such Wolfram Gymnastics?

Doesn't alreadyEntityProperties["Aircraft"][[All , 2]]give you what you want?

Wow... it does... I had no idea you could select a part of the variables of a function. Essentially that code would be:EntityProperty["Aircraft","Ceiling"][[2]]which in fact returns "Ceiling". I had only seenPartused with lists and not with functions. Thanks for the simple solution!

Unless an expression is atomic (AtomQ), you can manipulate it like aListcan be manipulated.

You could use EntityValue instead:
EntityValue["Aircraft","PropertyCanonicalNames"]
"Ceiling", "Crew", "CruiseSpeed", "DesignedBy", "EmptyWeightPerBooster",
"Height", "Image", "Introduced", "Length", "LoadedWeight", "MaidenFlight",
"Manufacturer", "MaxSpeed", "MaxWeight", "Name", "NumberBuilt", "PowerPlant",
"PowerPlantCount", "Range", "RateOfClimb", "Status", "Type", "WingArea",
"WingLoading", "Wingspan"
Another possibility is to use the function CanonicalName:
CanonicalName /@ EntityProperties["Aircraft"]
Also, for built-in entity types, you could use the subproperty "Dataset" to create a dataset:
EntityValue[
EntityClass["Aircraft", "Harlow"],
"Ceiling", "Height", "Length",
"Dataset"
]

Excellent. That works great. I was afraid it wouldn't work with my ownEntityStoressince they include very limited properties, but everything translates nicely.
