Fighter aircraft are fixed-wing military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat.

- Fighter aircraft

A triplane is a fixed-wing aircraft equipped with three vertically stacked wing planes.

- Triplane

The earliest known aerial victory with a synchronized machine gun-armed fighter aircraft occurred in 1915, by German Luftstreitkräfte Leutnant Kurt Wintgens.

- Fixed-wing aircraft

During World War I, some aircraft manufacturers turned to the triplane configuration for fighter aircraft.

- Triplane

Most were biplanes and only rarely monoplanes or triplanes.

- Fighter aircraft

Occasionally, even more, wings have been used, with the three-winged triplane achieving some fame in WWI.
