	Ground attack aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest use of aircraft can be seen in the German Junkers Ju-87 'Stuka' dive-bomber which could be used alongside the rapidly advancing Panzer units during the opening stages of the war in the place of artillery which was not able to advance as rapidly.
		Although close air support and interdiction remain crucial to the modern battlefield, attack aircraft are less glamorous than fighters, and both pilots and military planners have a certain well-cultivated contempt for 'mud-movers.' More practically, the extra cost of a dedicated ground attack aircraft is harder to justify as opposed to having multi-role aircraft.
		The aircraft was built especially for a supersonic radar evading low altitude attack profile, thereafter lofting a nuclear weapon from an internal bomb bay, thereby allowing escape from the detonation.

	Attack Aircraft - Military Aircraft
		Attack aircraft, delivering air-to-ground munitions, are deployed in force application and air control roles.
		Strategic attacks often comprise the most direct means available to force an enemy to cease fighting or to otherwise make decisions or concessions in line with friendly objectives.
		The AI attacks conducted against hostile land forces that are not in close proximity to friendly forces are referred to as battlefield air interdiction if the hostile forces could have a near-term effect on the operation support or scheme of maneuver of friendly forces.

	Air-Attack.com - Switchblade
		Since then Popular Science has learned that the aircraft is not a standard variable swing-wing aircraft as first reported but instead employs a unique forward sweeping wing mechanism that enables the aircraft to become an advanced attack aircraft capable of precision weapons delivery, super maneuverability (for air combat) and MACH 3 dash capability.
		An FSW aircraft was designed just to be the opposite of stable, however if you could design an aircraft that could go from a stable configuration to an unstable one at the flick of a switch, then you would have a very desirable tactical attack aircraft.
		Any F-111 aircraft follow-on had to be able to meet all the future tactical needs of the US armed forces including precision weapons delivery, air combat superiority, long range, low radar signature and high speed ingress and egress from the target area.

	Attack Aircraft
		If the purpose of force application is to destroy, delay, or disrupt existing enemy surface forces while they are far enough from friendly surface forces that detailed coordination of aerospace and surface activities is not needed, the operation is an interdiction mission.
		Aircraft on air bases are often more concentrated and vulnerable than they are in flight, and destroying them at their bases may be much easier than destroying them in aerial combat.
		Attacks on bases crowded with aircraft can have devastating results in the struggle for control of the air.

	Fighter aircraft - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for attacking other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs.
		Fighter aircraft were developed during World War I, and used to hunting down enemy reconnaissance aircraft and balloons.
		Interceptor aircraft often sacrificed agility and payload in favor of speed and rate of climb.

	Swarms of Lightweight Scout/Attack Aircraft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		While the first experimental aircraft will not have this feature, it is quite feasible to design the various components so that it can be disassembled easily and stored in a box that would fit in a 6x6 truck bed together with the equipment needed for re-assembly in the field.
		The relative immunity of this type aircraft to attack on its base is a great advantage and passive defense measures and tactics enable it to evade much of the opposition.
		Since the retirement of FAC aircraft in the U.S. military, U.S. ground forces have not had good CAS as they once had, and the UAV has failed to live up to expectations and be as good as---let alone better---than human eyes with binoculars and sensors looking for targets actively and directly from aircraft.

	USAAC/USAAF/USAF/Unified Attack Aircraft Designations
		Some of the confusion is due to the fact that there were TWO separate and distinct A-for-attack series of aircraft, one used by the Army in the years 1926-1948, and the other used by all the services in the years after 1962.
		In later years, the Air Force did acquire some attack aircraft, and these were assigned numbers in the A series in the sequence in which they were ordered into service.
		While operating in Thailand, the aircraft were redesignated A-26A, since a treaty between that government and the USA forbidded the basing of "bombers" in Thailand.

	Junkers "Unnamed" Ground Attack Aircraft Luft '46 entry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		In the middle of 1944, the Junkers aircraft company worked on a project for a low-level ground attack aircraft to replace the Henschel Hs 129 ground attack aircraft.
		Armament was to consist of one MK 103 30mm cannon in the nose and two MG 151/20 20mm cannon in the lower wing roots.
		The engine development dragged on at Daimler-Benz, and the fact that they started rather late in the war led to all development being stopped on this Junkers aircraft project, especially since this airframe was designed around these engines.
