Fighter jets information

Fighter jets info:

The jets and fighter attacking aircraft, that are used for the Wars often they are referred to simply as a fighter or attacking jet, that  is a fixed wing military attacking aircraft designed for the Wars. This kind of jet is designed primarily for attacking other jets in the air, in-short designed air to air combat against the other aircraft. The core key performance features of a fighter jet not only include its power of fire but also its high speed in the air and its power of hitting other target aircraft very fast.

Over the battle field the main tactical purpose of the fighter jet is to establish the air superiority. The better and bad result or success and failure of the combatants hard working and efforts to gain the air superiority hinges on a lot of factors that includes the tactical soundness of its doctrine for the deploying its expert fighters, the skill of its expert pilots, and the numbers of those fighters, performance of those fighters.

There are many aircraft fighter having secondary capabilities of attacking such as fighter bombers and some other types, such as ground attacks, that are designed from the outset for performing the dual roles. And the other fighter aircrafts designs are highly specialized for air and ground attacks while still filling the main role of the air superiority, these include the heavy fighter, interceptor and night fighter.

There was also an alternative to build a “Pusher” scout such as the Airco Dh2, with propeller mounted behind the pilot. The main con was that the big drag of a pusher type's tail that structure made it slower than a similar tractor fighter aircraft.

For a single seat scout a better solution to mount the machine gun (pistols and rifles having been dispensed with) to fire the forwards but the outside propeller arc. There was also Wing guns tried but the unreliable weapons available required frequent clearing of misfires and jammed rounds and until after the war remained impractical. Machine gun Mounting over the top wing worked well and was used long after the ideal solution was found and how to improve it. The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 of 1918 and the Nieu port eleven both used this system with considerable success and achievement. However, this kind of placement made the aiming difficult and also for the pilot this kind of location made it difficult to both maneuver and have clearly access to the gun’s breech. For this kind of applications the British foster mounting was specifically designed, that was fitted with the Lewis machine guns, which was the unsuitable for synchronizing due to its design.

The need to arm the tractor scout with the straight and forward firing guns whose bullets were passed through a propeller arc that was evident even before outbreak of the war and inventors in both the Germany and the France devised mechanisms that could time the firing of the individual rounds to avoid the hitting propeller blade. An Engineer Swiss Franz Schneider, in Germany had patented such a device in 1913, but his real efforts and work was not followed up. In April 1914 a French aircraft designer Raymond Saulnier patented a practical device, but the trials were unsuccessful because of the propensity of the machine gun employed to hang the fire due to un-reliable ammunition.
