Aerospace / Aviation / Space | | English term or phrase: air power | | Les américains utilisent cette expression soit avec les mots attaches soit avec les deux mots detaches. Doit on la traduire apr puissance aérienne come je l'ai trouvé sur le site de l'OTAN, ou bien par force aérienne, ou par une autre expression? |

| | puissance aérienne normalement | Explanation:
"force aérienne" refers mostly to airforce/air force. Air power is a question of might, hence "puissance aérienne".
Often the term air power is used instead of air force, particularly in reporting, as the word is more dramatic and powerful. Hence, if the context imposes it, air power will have to be translated by "force aérienne".
