neutral tectranslate ITS GmbH : Jet, sure, but why fighter? A Gulfstream IV is a Strahlflugzeug, but definitely not a fighter and so is an Airbus A320 and so is a Boeing 757 and so forth..

jet plane

should be Strahlflugzeug?
Peer comment(s):

agree Werner Hehn : yes, it's a jet plane - could be military or civil. Strahlenflugzeug is pretty antiquated these days, Germans usually speak of "Jets" nowadays.
