aircraft class designed to engage other aircraft in air-to-air combat From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fighter aircraft are small military planes that are made to fight other airplanes. They are often fast, having aerodynamic shapes (shapes that make them move through air easily) and very powerful engines for their size.
Fighters may carry many different kinds of weapons, including missiles, machine guns, and bombs. Fighters may be used as attack aircraft to attack vehicles, soldiers, or buildings on the ground. They are different from bombers because they are mainly designed to fight other airplanes.
Specialized fighters have been made, such as night fighters, interceptors, and air superiority fighters.
Fighter aircraft also usually are maneuverable (turn well).
