What is the difference between passenger planes and fighter planes?

Answer 1

Passenger planes are used for commercial and transport purposes and they are able able to accomodate many people (at least 100+) while fighter planes are used for fighting in wars and military purposes and they can only accomodate pilots (no passengers at all). They also carry bombs and other military weapons. From this, we can conclude that fighter planes are usually smaller and can fly faster (faster than the speed of sound, calculated in machs) and higher than passenger planes, which means that they have more powerful engines. There are also private jets (passenger planes) which can only accomodate a few people (about 6) and are used for very high-class purposes, e.g. fetching the rich and powerful (the President). Military aircraft carry their oxygen for their crew that is stored in liquid form. Commercial airplanes only carry oxygen in a gas form. Military aircraft, especially Navy jets, are designed to land harder. Their landing gears are stronger than passenger aircraft. Most military aircraft have ejection seats. Most passenger planes, either large or small, will have a cargo hold or a place to carry luggage. Military planes have very little room to carry cargo or luggage. Some military planes will have room to carry a duffle bag for 1 or 2 crew members. Large military cargo and troop carriers will have plenty of space to carry luggage or extra equipment for the troops.
