About Fighter aircraft
Fighters Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org :
A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for attacking other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs.
Fighters are comparatively small, fast, and maneuverable. They were
developed in response to the fledgling use of aircraft and dirigibles in World War I for reconnaissance and ground attack roles. These early fighters were mostly woden biplanes with light machine guns. As aerial warfare became increasingly important, so did control of the airspace. ByWorld War II, fighters were predominantly metal monoplanes with wing-mounted cannon. Following the war, turbojets
replaced piston engines as the means of propulsion, and missiles
augmented or replaced guns. For historical purposes, jet fighters are
classified by generation. The generation terminology was initiated by
Russian defense parlance in referring to the F-35 Lightings II as a "fifth generation" plane. Years are not exact and intended as a
guideline. Modern jet fighters are predominantly powered by one or two
turbofan engines, armed primarily with missiles (from as few as two on
some lightweight day fighters to as many as eight to ten on air superiority fighters like the Su 27 Flanker or F-15 Eagle), with a cannon as backup armament (typically between 20 and 30mm incalibre), and equipped with a radar as the primary method of target acquisition. Fighter aircraft are the primary means by which armed forces gain air superiotity
At least since World War II, air superiority has a crucial component of
victory in most modern warfare, particularly "conventional" warfare
between regular armies, and their acquisition and maintenance represent
a very substantial proportion of military budgets in militaries that
maintain modern fighter forces....
