A F-15E Strike Eagle dropping a GBU-28 bomb. A strike fighter or fighter bomber is a multi-role combat aircraft designed to operate primarily in the tactical bombing role while incorporating certain performance characteristics of air superiority fighters. Contents 1 History 1.1 1950-1980 1.2 1980 - present 2 Popular culture // History 1950-1980 This section requires expansion. 1980 - present By the 1980s, the United States had developed the F-15E Strike Eagle, a highly maneuverable ground attack aircraft designed for long-range, high speed air interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. This new type of aircraft--the strike fighter--incorporated the airframe design of earlier air superiority fighters but could also perform the combat roles previously reserved to tactical bombers and air interdictors, such as the F-111 Aardvark. Strike fighters retained much of the air superiority performance of their predecessor aircraft while also offering considerable payload for air-to-ground munitions, increased fuel capacity, and advanced avionics. Typically, a radio operator crewman was added behind or next to the pilot in the cockpit. While the development of the strike fighter certainly presented tactical advantages, the military's shift towards the development of multi-role rather than specialty role aircraft may also have been influenced by cost concerns in the post-Vietnam War years and the Carter administration's opposition to increased military spending. While the term strike fighter was initially used for the F-15E Strike Eagle and the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 Hornet, the use of the term has since been continuously extended. The U.S. military's Joint Strike Fighter Program resulted in the development of the F-35 Lightning II, a fifth-generation, stealth multirole fighter intended to perform ground attack, close air support, tactical bombing, and air interdiction functions, replacing a plethora of aircraft including the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the AV-8B Harrier II ground attack aircraft, and the multi-role F/A-18 Hornet (except for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet variants, which are not currently scheduled to be replaced).[1] The A-10 Thunderbolt II was scheduled to be replaced by the F-35; however, the service life of the A-10 has been extended due to its value in the close air support role in recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Popular culture Strike Fighter is also the name of a Sega arcade game simulating an F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter, this game is a spiritual successor to the earlier After Burner series and its semi-sequel, G-LOC: Air Battle. In fact, Strike Fighter was ported as After Burner III on the Sega Mega-CD. A sequel, Sega Strike Fighter was released for the Sega Naomi arcade board, though this game plays more like the Ace Combat series. In addition, Thirdwire Productions has a series of games titled Strike Fighters. ^ Website of the Joint Strike Fighter Program: The F-35 Lightning II. www.jsf.mil v • d • e Lists relating to aviation General Timeline of aviation · Aircraft (manufacturers) · Aircraft engines (manufacturers) · Rotorcraft (manufacturers) · Airports · Airlines (defunct) · Civil authorities · Museums Military Air forces · Aircraft weapons · Missiles · Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) · Experimental aircraft Accidents/incidents General · Military · Commercial (airliners) · Deaths Records Airspeed · Distance · Altitude · Endurance · Most-produced aircraft
