In the airforce, what exactly is a fixed wing attack?

Answer 1

There are 3 different Aircraft wings:Fixed, Variable Geometry and Rotary.

Fixed means just that are stationary. Such as on a C130 or a Cessna, Wings fixed forward or straight allows more lift with slower flight and more cargo

Variable Geometry would be found on Fighter and Fighter Bomber Aircraft.the wings swing to the rear for supersonic Flight and Forward for lower speed takeoffs and landings.

Rotary Wing is a fancy name for a Helicopter, Unlike the propeller on an airplane which generally provides thrust not lift, Rotary wings (Helo's) provide both lift and thrust, Though some Helo's have stubby wings they are for mounting ordinance rather than any flight dynamics.

As for fixed wing Air Attack that is simply an attack by aircraft such as a you will find on the provided link.

Answer 2

That would be an attack where the primary aircraft used is fixed wing, or stationary winged planes. The opposite of this would be a helicopter attack. a helicopter, having rotors, is called a rotor-winged aircraft.

Answer 3

It is always better to fly with a fixed wing as apposed to an unfixed wing. The fixed wing does have a better flight to crashed ration.
Also, sometimes when the Commander does not like one of the pilots, he orders the pilot to fly the unfixed wing aircraft. But it helps the Air Forces to rid themselves of argumentative pilots.
Everyone always thinks the Air Force is soft, but let me till you with four years in the Air Force I saw lots of Aircraft take off with unfixed wings.
It was sad!

Don't mess with the Air Force or we will crash on you!~!

Answer 4

It means an attack by airplanes. As opposed to an attack by helicopters or missiles. Airplanes wings are fixed in place.
