- Air refueling [r]: Transferring fuel from one aircraft to another while both are in flight. [e]
- Aircraft carrier [r]: A warship designed to launch and recover combat aircraft. [e]
- F-15 Eagle [r]: A series of air superiority fighters, designed for the United States Air Force and flown by several countries. The F-15E Strike Eagle is a multirole fighter variant. [e]
- F-15 series fighter aircraft [r]: A series of fourth-generation air-to-air and all-weather fighter-bomber aircraft developed by the U.S. Air Force as the high end of a "high-low" mix with the F-16 Fighting Falcon; used by several friendly countries and has the best air-to-air combat record of any operational fighter [e]
- F-16 Fighting Falcon [r]: A relatively lightweight land-based multirole fighter, developed by the United States Air Force; co-produced with Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal; operated by many nations and to be replaced by the F-35A Lightning II. The F-16CJ model is optimized for SEAD. [e]
- F-18 Hornet [r]: A relatively lightweight carrier-capable multirole fighter, developed by the United States Navy and used by several nations, including Canada, in land-based roles; a fourth-generation fighter gradually being replaced by the F-18E/F Super Hornet, and then the F-35. [e]
- F-18 Super Hornet [r]: A new generation of carrier-based fighter beyond the F-18 Hornet, this evolution provides an architecture with even greater expansion, especially with the AN/APG-79 AESA radar, more powerful computers and communications, and a new engine with longer range. [e]
- F-22 Raptor [r]: A "fifth generation" fighter, with stealth, supercruise, extreme maneuverability, and an extremely high price tag that caused its production to be stopped in favor of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter [e]

- Fighter aircraft [r]: Airplanes that have a principal mission of destroying other airplanes in flight, often with a secondary capability to attack ground targets [e]
- Full Authority Digital Electronic Control [r]: A computer-assisted means of controlling a complex machine, such as an automobile or aircraft engine, in which the operator uses a simple control to signal what to do, rather than how to set all the individual functions needed to execute the desired action. [e]

- LITENING [r]: Electro-optical target acquisition and tracking pods, which mount aircraft wing pylons. [e]
- MIL-STD-1553 [r]: An extensively used interconnection standard among military electronics components, slow in comparison with local area networks but intended for simple command-response control in electrically noisy environments [e]
- Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
- United States Marine Corps [r]: A branch of the United States Armed Forces, with primary responsibilities as naval infantry and in amphibious warfare, are organized in Marine Air-Ground Task Forces capable of serving as up to corps headquarters with integrated close air support [e]
