A composite aircraft is made up of multiple component craft. It takes off and flies initially as a single aircraft, with the components able to separate in flight and continue as independent aircraft. Typically the larger aircraft is the carrier, with the smaller often a parasite or jockey craft. The first composite aircraft flew in 1916, when the British launched a Bristol Scout from a Felixstowe Porte Baby flying boat. During the Second World War some composites saw operational use. Experiments continued into the jet age, with jet bombers carrying fully capable parasite fighters.
