List Of Fictional Aircraft

This is a list of fictional aircraft, including fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft, and lighter-than-air craft. The aircraft in this list are generally intended to operate in an atmosphere, though a few have been depicted as being capable of exoatmospheric or suborbital flight as well.

These aircraft appear in notable works of fiction including novels, stories, films, TV series, animation, video games, comics, and other works. They are either the subject of the work or an important element.

Earning massive media attention, the design became the shape of the mysterious "Stealth Fighter" in the public eye until the F-117 Nighthawk was unveiled in 1990. As it turned out, the sleek and low-profile design looked nothing like the highly angular, faceted F-117 it was meant to portray.

* MiG-37 Ferret: a fictional Soviet stealth model aircraft, produced by the Testors Model Company, as a counter to the American F-19.
