aerial torpedo
An aerial torpedo, airborne torpedo or air-dropped torpedo〔Hughes, 2000, p. 162.〕 is a naval weapon, a torpedo, that an aircraft—fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter—drops in the water, after which it self-propels to the target.〔Dictionary.com (''aerial torpedo'' ). Retrieved on September 24, 2009.〕 First used in World War I, air-dropped torpedoes were used extensively in World War II, and remain in limited use. Aerial torpedoes are generally smaller and lighter than submarine- and surface-launched torpedoes.
Historically, the term "aerial torpedo" meant flying bombs and pilotless drone aircraft used as weapons, the precursor to modern cruise missiles.〔Hughes, Thomas Parke. ''American genesis: a century of invention and technological enthusiasm, 1870–1970'', p. 127. University of Chicago Press, 2004. ISBN 0-226-35927-1〕 Today, the term refers primarily to water-borne torpedoes launched from the air.
