Military aircraft
Aircraft designed or utilized for use in or support of military operations
A military aircraft is any fixed-wing or rotary-wingaircraft that is operated by a legal or insurrectionary military of any type.[1] Military aircraft can be either combat or non-combat:
Combat aircraft, such as fighters and bombers, are designed to destroy enemy equipment or personnel using their own aircraft ordnance.[1] Combat aircraft are typically developed and procured only by military forces.
Non-combat aircraft, such as transports and tankers are not designed for combat as their primary function, but may carry weapons for self-defense. These mainly operate in support roles, and may be developed by either military forces or civilian organizations.
