Editing Conventional Aircraft

== Description ==
'''Conventional Aircraft''' are the atmosphere-only aircraft that have been around since the [[w:Wright Flyer|Wright Flyer's]] first takeoff. Though modern craft are much more advanced and capable than that early model, Conventional Aircraft intended for combat, called [[Conventional Fighter]]s, have been superseded in modern times by the [[aerospace fighter]], which can operate in both atmosphere and space.

However, ignoring the capabilities of conventional aircraft is a mistake. Capable of providing troop transport, reconnaissance, local air superiority, and close air support, conventional aircraft can still be an effective combat unit. Additionally, their lower construction cost and relative ease of construction is why most worlds have at least some conventional aircraft available.<ref name="TWp23">''Total Warfare'', p. 23, "Conventional Fighters"</ref>

Though [[VTOLs]] are considered conventional aircraft by virtue of being able to operate only in-atmosphere, VTOLs behave so differently that they are considered a completely different category of aircraft.

== Manufacturing ==
'''Conventional Aircraft''' are manufactured on the following planets:
