===Multirole=== {{Main|Multirole combat aircraft|Fighter-bomber|Strike fighter|Light combat aircraft|Armed helicopter|Utility helicopter}} Many combat aircraft in the modern day have multirole capabilities. Normally only applied to fixed-wing aircraft, the term signifies the ability to transition between air-to-air and air-to-ground roles, sometimes even during the same mission. An example of a multirole design is the [[F-15E Strike Eagle]], [[Eurofighter Typhoon]], [[Dassault Rafale]] and [[Panavia Tornado]]. A World War II example would be the [[P-38 Lightning]].<ref>Dwyer, Larry (17 September 1997). "[http://www.aviation-history.com/lockheed/p38.html Lockheed P38 Lightning]". The Aviation History Online Museum</ref> A [[utility helicopter]] could also count as a multirole aircraft and can fill roles such as [[close-air support]], [[air assault]], [[military logistics]], [[CASEVAC]], [[medical evacuation]], [[command and control]], and [[military transport helicopter|troop transport]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Utility+helicopter | title=Utility helicopter }}</ref>
