From what I understand, we have the F-15, F-16, F-117, F-22 and F-35.
Why do we need all these different models? I assume each specializes in something…what is it?
In: Engineering
F is just their classification which I believe is just “Fighter” meaning they are either air superiority aircraft or some variety of multi-role that can do both air to air and air to ground missions.
Back before and during WW2 instead of F they used P which I believe stood for “Pursuit” which is why we have the P-47, P-38, P-51, etc. and then B for “Bomber” which we still use today.
