The swept-back wings reduced the drag caused by the voritces at the wing tips. This allowed the jets to fly faster.
Most fighter jets have their jet engines mounted inside the fuselage; as opposed to mounted under the wings. The first German fighter jet had wing-mounted engines. Very few fighter jets continued with this design.
Most fighter jets have a pilot (or 2 pilots) sitting in a cockpit mounted on top of the fuselage. This provides better visibility so the pilots can watch for enemy aircraft during combat. Bombers will have the cockpit buried down in the fuselage(one exception is the B-47 bomber that had a cockpit like a fighter jet).
How to spot a Fighter Plane?Modern jet aircraft have changed dramatically. So this question is difficult to answer. Some fighter jets server in many different roles: fighter, reconnisance, bomber. Some fighter jets have 2-crewmen and 2 engines and are quite large where others are a single pilot and very small. The most recent ones have stealth technology that gives their wings and fuselage very unique shapes.

How many symmetry does a cone have?
A cone has infinitely many planes of symmetry because its base is a circle, which also has an infinite amount of planes of symmetry. Prove it by making a 3D model of it and they look at the number of vertexes.
How many planes of symmetry does a hexagonal prism have?

Can a given line be in two planes?
Two planes intersect at a line. The line where they intersect pertains to both planes. In the same manner, if infinitely many planes intersect each other at the same line, then that line pertains to the infinitely many planes.
How many planes of symmetry does a cube have?

Do planes look like birds?
It's all a matter of opinion. I would say they have some similar qualities, although last time I checked birds don't have engines :PAnyway, like I said, it's about opinion. Some people will say birds look exactly like planes, others will say they look nothing like birds.Birds do have wings like planes do, and a back flip/tail, like planes do. They also share the same front base, as a bird has their head in front, and the plane has the cockpit.In fact, some planes are actually modeled after birds."New research suggests that a bird-shaped airplane - with angled wings and a fatter body - would make the modern plane more fuel efficient. I spoke recently with Geoffrey Spedding, an engineer at the University of Southern California, about this discovery - and how it could change the way we fly."Check out this article:
