What is another word for reconnaissance plane?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪkˈɒnɪsəns plˈe͡ɪn] (IPA) 
A reconnaissance plane is an aircraft that is designed to carry out reconnaissance or intelligence gathering operations by collecting visual, electronic, or signals intelligence. There are several synonyms for the term "reconnaissance plane," including spy plane, surveillance aircraft, observation airplane, intelligence gathering plane, and aerial reconnaissance aircraft. These types of planes are commonly used in military and intelligence operations to obtain information about enemy movements, assess ground conditions and threats, and gather intelligence about potential targets. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become increasingly popular for reconnaissance missions as they can be controlled remotely and are less expensive to operate than manned aircraft.
