Aircraft A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft

 designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft, as opposed to bombers and attack aircraft, whose main mission is to attack ground targets.

The hallmarks of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft.

TERM AIRCRAFT The word "fighter" did not become

the official English-language term for such aircraft until after World War I. In the British Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force these aircraft were referred to as "scouts" into the early 1920s. The U.S. Army called their fighters "pursuit" aircraft from 1916 until the late 1940s. In most languages a fighter aircraft is known as a hunter, or hunting aircraft
