AIRTOAIRMISSILE
Air-to-air missile
An air-to-air missile is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft. AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket motors, usually solid fuelled but sometimes liquid fuelled. Ramjet engines, as used on the MBDA Meteor, are emerging as propulsion that will enable future medium-range missiles to maintain higher average speed across their engagement envelope.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Air-to-air missile
