fighter wings

Military jet appendages

Fighter wings are military aviation units, typically in air forces, consisting of multiple squadrons of fighter aircraft under a single command.

The term also refers to the physical wings of fighter planes themselves, often designed for speed and maneuverability rather than lift.

In video games and fantasy contexts, fighter wings may describe decorative or functional wing attachments for combat characters.
