Fixed-Wing
Fixed-Wing aircraft roles can be broken down into several groups, main ones are Fighters, Support, Recon, and Transport. They are usually operated by a single or a pair of pilots.
 * Fighters: main role is usually air superiority, both defensive and offensive. Many fighters possess a degree of ground attack capability. These fixed-wing usually strive by having superior speed, detection range and engagement range.
 * Support: usually Close-Air-Support (CAS), attack and bombers are listed under here. All these share the common main role of air-to-ground attack whether that's diving with guns, using various missiles or dropping explosives. Some of the support fixed-wing aircraft have air-to-air missiles, or are able to use main guns to target enemy air targets, but many of them are dependent on fighter escorts.
 * Recon: can be any fixed-wing role, but they are mainly there to recon areas instead of engage targets, most carry some form of offensive or defensive armaments and additional observation equipment.
 * Transport: primarily large aircraft with space for cargo and troops. Usually lack armaments and may be escorted by other fighters. They mainly transport large amounts of supplies and troops from logistic centers, and may also be used for airdropping supplies or troops.
