'''Interceptors''' are military [[aircraft]] designed to take off, rapidly meet incoming enemy aircraft and destroy them. Traditionally they sacrificed maneuverability for speed and climbing performance. A classic example of this was the [[F-104 Starfighter]], which was termed the "missile with a man in it" because it looked and performed more like a missile than a traditional aircraft. The wings of the [[F-104 Starfighter]] were so sharp that special covers had to be put on them to stop [[ground crew]] from hurting themselves.
