The first pilots used a variety of weapons during World War I, primarily including pistols and rifles. Some early aviators even dropped small bombs or hand grenades from their aircraft. As aerial combat evolved, they began to use machine guns, which were mounted on planes for more effective attacks. These developments marked the beginning of aerial warfare tactics that would continue to advance in subsequent conflicts.
The hijackers used box cutters and knives to attack and kill the pilots of the planes during the September 11 attacks in 2001. These weapons were chosen for their accessibility and ability to be concealed, allowing the hijackers to take control of the aircraft. Additionally, the element of surprise played a crucial role in overpowering the crew. The attacks were part of a coordinated effort to hijack multiple planes and use them as weapons.
The first use of plutonium was as nuclear weapon; United States was the first country to use these weapons against Japan.
In the United States, pilots are not routinely armed in the cockpit. However, a program established after the 9/11 attacks allows some pilots to undergo training and carry firearms if they are part of the Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) program. This program is voluntary and aims to enhance security and deter potential threats. Other countries have different regulations regarding pilots and weapons in the cockpit.
Pilots use mostly electronic equipment. If electronics go out they use instruments.
