A heat seeking missile is basically a homing missile, that only searches for heat (there is lava on one side and a computer on the other side. The heat seeking missile will hit the lava because lava is WAY HOTTER than the computer).

How do you avoid heat seeking missiles when flying an aircraft?
When flying an aircraft like helicopters or airplanes ,to avoid heat seeking missilesyou just have to turn off the engine and problem solved!A correct answer not mislead by Hollywood:There are three ways that are commonly used to avoid heat seeker's. Passive: this is done by shielding the hot exhaust from the heat seeking system on the missile. The stealth bomber uses this systemFlairs: The aircraft being fired upon puts out one or usually many flairs that burn white hot to attract the missile away from the aircraft. This is fitted to almost every US military aircraft.Maneuver: The idea is to have the missile get close enough and then make a turn or other maneuver the missile cant follow. This usually requires several turns done exactly right to get the desired effect.

When was the heat seeking missile invented?
I can get you going in the right direction but don't know the actual date. The Sidewinder Missile was developed at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake California in the 1950's. It was named the sidewinder because the base is located in the upper Mohave desert and has a huge population of Sidewinder Rattlesnakes. So, if you look up Sidewinder Missiles you will be on your way to success.

How many missiles does a fighter jet have?
Typically 2, one on each wingtip launch rail. However underwing missile launch rail pods can be added for special missions, making the total number much larger. The basic missile load on the F/A-18 is 4, two heat seeking sidewinders on the wingtip launch rails and two radar guided sparrows on fuselage launch rails. Answer: Very few fighters are limited to two missiles these days (although way back in the 1950s two was a common maximum load). It depends on the particular aircraft, examples: F-4 Phantom usual load - 4 radar guided Sparrow + 4 heat-seeking Sidewinder Su 27 - up to 12 in a mix of radar-guided and heat-seeking (and the option of self-guiding).
