Aviation refers to the activities of manned or unmanned aircraft in the earth's atmosphere. Aviation must have an air medium and lift to overcome the aircraft's own gravity, and most aircraft must also have the power needed to generate motion relative to the air. Every achievement of aviation technology is inseparable from the progress of aerodynamics.
Aviation is divided into military aviation and civil aviation according to its direction of use.
Military aviation refers to all aviation activities used for military purposes, mainly including combat, reconnaissance, transportation, vigilance, training and liaison life-saving. In modern high-tech warfare, seizing air supremacy is an important means to win the war, and it is also the main activity of military aviation. Military aviation operations are mainly completed by military aircraft, which can be divided into two categories: combat aircraft and combat support aircraft. Typical combat aircraft include fighters (also known as fighters), attack aircraft (also known as attack aircraft), fighter bombers, anti-submarine aircraft, tactical and strategic bombers, etc. Combat support aircraft include military transport aircraft, early warning command aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, communication aircraft and military trainer aircraft. In addition to fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters also play a huge role in ground attack, reconnaissance, transportation, communications, search and rescue, and anti-submarine.
