What is the difference beween a fighter plane and a bomber plane?

Jet fighters have no interior space to store bombs. Fighter/bombers such as the F105 Thunderchief do, which is why it was the number one bomber over North Vietnam...and suffered the highest loss rates of the war (for the amount of F105s built which was 833, of which nearly 400 were lost in the war). Fighters, such as the F100 Super Sabre, F101 Voodoo, F102 Delta dagger, F104 Starfighter, F8 Crusader, F4 Phantom II, were strictly fighters but were forced into bombing missions also. However, the fighters couldn't carry half the bomb load of the F105 thunderchief...while the "Thud" might carry 24 bombs, the F100 Super Sabre might carry only 4 bombs.


Largest fighter plane?

The largest fighter plane ever built, might be the "workhorse" of the Vietnam War, (the B17 of the Vietnam War)...the F-105 Thunderchief (nick-named the "Thud").The "Thud" was the largest single engine/single pilot fighter-bomber in the US inventory during the cold war. Only 833 Thunderchiefs were built, and nearly half were destroyed in the Vietnam War...nearly all while bombing North Vietnam (the air war).The F-105 was designed to carry a nuclear bomb completetly encased inside it's belly. During the war, the Thud carried conventional bombs both inside it's belly and attached to it's outside "hard points." ONE single engined, single piloted F-105 carried more bombs than a four engined/12 man WWII B17 heavy bomber!It was not an American airplane. The Túpolev TU-28 was the largest and heaviest fighter ever in service.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-28
