4. What is a Fighter Jet Plane?
 A fighter jet plane is a military aircraft designed
primarily for air-to-air combat with other aircraft, as
opposed to a bomber, which is designed primarily to
attack ground targets by dropping bombs.
 Fighter planes are small, fast, and maneuverable. Many
fighter planes have secondary ground-attack
capabilities, and some are dual-roled as fighter-
bombers ; the term "fighter" is also sometimes used
colloquially for dedicated ground-attack aircraft.

5. Terminology
 The word "fighter" did not become the official English
term for such aircraft until after World War I. In Great
Britain's Royal Flying Corps – later the Royal Air Force
– these aircraft continued to be called "scouts" into the
early 1920s.
 The U.S. Army called their fighters "pursuit" aircraft
(reflected by their designation in the "P" series) from
1916 until the late 1940s. In the French, Portuguese and
German languages the term used (and still in use)
literally means "hunter”.
