How does fighter jet fly?

Answer 1

For most fighter jets, as with most passenger aircraft, the thrust of powerful engines push the aircraft rapidly through the air, and its wings are lifted by the difference in pressure created above and below the wing's curved surface. Other jets have large ducted fans that push air out of the bottom of the plane, letting it go up or down like a helicopter. They are called VTOL or Vertical Take-Off and Landing jets.
