Military aviation comprises military
aircraft and other flying machines for
the purposes of conducting or
enabling aerial warfare, including
national airlift (air cargo) capacity to
provide logistical supply to forces
stationed in a war theater or along a
front. Airpower includes the national
means of conducting such warfare,
including the intersection of
transport and warcraft. Military
aircraft include bombers, fighters,

times, as commercial and general aviation
tend to overlap.

Objective 2: Military Aviation Principles.
Military all over the world uses military aircraft in both offensive
and defensive purposes. In offensive role, these aircraft are used in
destroying enemy’s vital installations, air strips, ordnance depots
and supplies. In defensive role, it provides close air support to land-
based army and also deters the threats of enemy air strike. In naval
warfare, military aircraft plays a significant role to detect and
neutralize submarines.
