HIERARCHY
A century ago, the Wright brothers presented the world with wings. This innovation in science and technology would reshape the way people saw the world. But no part of the world would feel this change as strongly as the field of war. As aircraft have become more advanced over the years, their numerous military applications have changed the very face of warfare. Whether deploying troops, delivering surgical missile strikes, unleashing the apocalyptic wrath of nuclear bombardment, or making stealthy reconnaissance, the versatility of military aircraft seemingly knows no bounds. With technology ever advancing, the role of air superiority on the modern day battlefield can only grow in importance.
The design of military aircraft has evolved over time with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. While there are variations from one manufacturer to another, a general development of form has been maintained throughout the industry.
