It is also used for non-combat purposes, including transport, training, search and rescue, reconnaissance, observation and surveillance, airborne early warning and control (AEW&C), and aerial refueling. Nowadays, fighter aircraft are highly specialized with advanced features like modified engines that contain an afterburner to provide additional thrust when fuel is ignited in the augmentor.

Fighter Aircraft Market Trends:
Due to a rise in terrorism and geopolitical tensions between countries, defense agencies are increasingly spending on replacing existing warplanes and superiority fighters with next-generation aircraft. This can also be attributed to the rising need for military modernization, growing situational awareness, and the widespread integration of advanced battlefield systems with military aircraft to improve surveillance, navigation, and communications. Apart from this, their demand is increasing in natural disaster vulnerable areas to mitigate the damage and provide essential supplies to victims of natural calamities during rescue missions. Besides this, the launch of multirole fighter planes with extreme agility, stealth features, integrated sensor package, superior performance, and modern weaponry is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, key market players are launching fighter aircraft integrated with sophisticated technologies like air-to-surface missiles, laser-guided bombs, and anti-radiation missiles for a wide array of missions, including surveillance, attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence. In addition, as governing agencies of numerous countries are focusing on expanding defense budgets, the demand for advanced fighter aircraft is anticipated to increase in the coming years.
