And, don't even get started on the one engine versus two engine
aircraft business. Single engine fighters have been doing quite nicely
for decades....ooops, make that more than a century.
More a century, yes, for *aircrafts* ; for *fighters* I guess we're
still 5-7 years prior of a century of Fighters.... (depend on one's
interpretation of what bird was the first Fighter...)
Uh Dottore, thats "aircraft" not "aircrafts". Plural same as
singular. Like "moose" and "moose".
Don't take it wrong, Dottore, but this is sometimes done by native English
speakers (and is subject to more than a little regional variation). North
American professional/academic usage tends to "aircraft" when referring to
more than one. NDHQ in Ottawa has more than a few francophone blue jobs who
sound almost like native Ottawans, and as soon as they said "aircrafts" you
could peg them for their furrin origins -- until I found that guys I knew to
be square heads from out West doing it. It's catching!
It depends on whether they are good at Math or Maths
