This is a list of aircraft by date and usage.
The date shown is the introduction of the first model of a line but not the current model.

Cs flypass, Air Fest show, Moron Air Base, Argentina This is a list of all fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft operated by the Argentine Air Force since its formation in , and by its predecessor the Army Aviation Service since to Prototypes and aircraft evaluated but not used operationally are excluded.
Aircraft are listed under the main role in which they were used for most of their operational life. For the current inventory see the list of active aircraft of the Argentine Air Force. The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber" is a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in The aircraft was easily recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage.
Upon the leading edges of its faired main gear legs were mounted the Jericho-Trompete Jericho trumpet wailing sirens, becoming the propaganda symbol of German air power and the blitzkrieg victories of — The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the aircraft recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high g-forces. The Stuka operated with considerable success in close air support and anti-shipping at the outbreak of World War II.
It spearheaded the air assaults in the invasio List of carrier-based aircraft covers fixed-wing aircraft designed for aircraft carrier flight deck operation and excludes aircraft intended for use from seaplane tenders and submarines as well as dirigibles.

Thailand declared war on Britain and it is said also on the United States in January and remained This is a list of military aircraft that are primarily designed for air-to-air combat and thus does not include aircraft intended for other roles where they have some secondary air-to-air capability, such as with many ground attack aircraft.
The list includes fighter aircraft which are currently in operational service, those that have been retired, designs that flew but were abandoned without having been used operationally, and future project aircraft still in development. The list does not include projects that were cancelled before an aircraft was built or fictional aircraft. They are listed alphabetically by manufacturer, but the table can be sorted by any column.
A disadvantage of the biplane was the need for extra struts to space the wings apart, the low power supplied by the engines available in the first years of aviation meant that aeroplanes could only fly slowly.

Combat losses are not included except for a very few cases denoted by singular circumstances. This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft.
It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; nearly 60 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world. The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from Mitchell pushed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing designed by Beverley Shenstone to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher t The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft of the s—40s that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd.
It was overshadowed in the public consciousness by the Supermarine Spitfire's role during Battle of Britain in , but the Hurricane actually inflicted 60 percent of the losses sustained by the Luftwaffe in the engagement, and it went on to fight in all the major theatres of the Second World War.
The Hurricane originated from discussions during the early s between RAF officials and British aircraft designer Sir Sydney Camm on the topic of a proposed monoplane derivative of the Hawker Fury biplane.
There was an institutional preference at the time for biplanes and a lack of interest from the Air Ministry, but Hawker chose to continue refining their monoplane proposal, which resulted in the incorporation of several innovations which became critical to wartime fighter aircraft, including a retractable undercarriage and This is an incomplete list of U.
