An aerial attack plane is a military aircraft that is designed to attack ground targets with precision from the air. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this type of aircraft. These include bomber, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft, strike aircraft, and attack helicopter. Each of these synonyms describes a different type of aircraft with a specific purpose. For example, a bomber is designed to drop bombs from high altitude while a ground-attack aircraft is more maneuverable and is used for close air support of troops on the ground. Attack helicopters are also used for ground support but can fly lower and provide more direct fire support.
