jet fighter
Supersonic military plane
A jet fighter is a military aircraft designed for air-to-air combat, powered by jet engines rather than propellers.
Modern jet fighters also perform ground attack and reconnaissance missions.
The term distinguishes these aircraft from earlier propeller-driven fighters: The squadron scrambled its jet fighters to intercept the incoming bombers.
