Starfighters are a type of military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat. They are typically smaller and more agile than larger fighter jets, allowing them to engage enemy aircraft effectively. Starfighters often feature advanced avionics and weapon systems, enabling them to perform various missions, including interception and air superiority. One of the most famous starfighter models is the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, which was used by several air forces around the world during the Cold War. These aircraft are known for their high speed and performance, but they also have a reputation for being challenging to fly due to their design.
