    Arrow Fixed wing aircraft



    What are the fixed wing aircraft in service with IAF? Are there any fighter aircraft in the world which are fixed wing?

    Arn't fighter aircraft supposed to be fixed wing? Unless you are talking about the like of F-14, which can swing their wings.

    Actually F-14 would be fixed wing as well. So pretty much other than helicopters and airships. Aircrafts that use their wing to generate lift as they move through air

    Stupid question I guess. I asked because IAF allows candidates with surgical correction of eyesight to fly only some kind of aircraft. I saw in a forum some guy was BSing about fixed wing aircraft.

    So all fighters are fixed wing?
