Transport aircraft are crucial to maintaining supply lines to bases and often used for civilian emergency relief missions by transporting humanitarian aid.
Most airbreathing jet engines that are in use are turbofan jet engines, which give good efficiency at speeds just below the speed of sound. The most common types of engines used in helicopters are the reciprocating engine and the turbine engine. Reciprocating engines, also called piston engines, are generally used in smaller helicopters.
Missiles are guided airborne ranged weapons capable of self-propelled flight usually by a jet engine or rocket motor. Missiles are also called guided missiles or guided rockets. Missiles have five system components: targeting, guidance system, flight system, engine and warhead.
