Fighter aircraft are military planes designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. They are equipped with advanced avionics, weapons systems, and high-speed capabilities, allowing them to engage enemy fighters and protect friendly forces. Examples of fighter aircraft include the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor. In addition to air superiority, some fighter aircraft can perform ground attack missions, targeting enemy installations and vehicles. They often feature stealth technology to reduce radar visibility and enhance survivability in combat. The development of fighter aircraft has significantly evolved since World War I, leading to more sophisticated designs and capabilities.
