Some air forces such as the British Royal Air Force have a unique rank structure; other air forces such as the United States Air Force (USAF) have a rank structure on the Enlisted side that is unique, but Officer corps uses army-style rank.
For every pilot, there is a flight crew who supports the air craft, a maintenance group, communications crew, satellite operators, administrative personnel, medical personnel...in truth, although the majority of the senior leadership of most air forces are pilots, the majority of the personnel are not.
The organization structures of the air forces also vary: some air forces (such as the United States Air Force and the Royal Air Force) are divided into commands, groups and squadrons; others (such as the Soviet Air Force) have an army-syle organizational structure.

 Air burst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Air bursts are used primarily against infantry in the open or unarmored targets, as the resulting shrapnel covers a large area but will not penetrate armor, entrenchments, or fortifications.
The principle advantage of an air burst over a ground burst is that the energy from the explosion (as well as any shrapnel) is distributed more evenly over a wider area, however the peak energy is lower.
With nuclear weapons the air burst, usually several hundred feet in the air, allows the shockwave of the fission or fusion driven explosion to destroy the largest possible number of buildings, military units or vehicles, etc.

 Bleed air - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, opponents claim that eliminating bleed air requires finding alternative methods of providing cabin heating, de-icing and other functions previously covered by bleed air, which require additional systems which take up space, weight, and electrical energy.
Bleed air in gas turbine engines is compressed air taken from within the engine, after the compressor stage(s) and before the fuel is injected in the burners.
When used for cabin pressurization, the air from the engine must first be cooled (as it exits the compressor stage at temperatures as high as 300 °C) by passing the bleed air through an air-to-air heat exchanger cooled by cold outside air.
