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. Fighters were developed in response to the fledgeling use of aircraft and dirigibles in World War I for reconnaissance and ground attack roles. These early fighters were mostly wood biplanes with light machineguns. As aerial warfare became increasingly important, so did control of the airspace. By World 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. Jet fighters are, for historical purposes, classified by generation. The generation terminology was initiated by Russian defense parlance in referring to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as a “fifth generation” plane. Years are not exact and intended as a guideline. Modern jet fighters are predominantly powered single or twin-turbofan, armed primarily with missiles, and equipped with a radar as the primary method of target acquisition. [Wikipedia]
