20 Largest Air Forces in The World

1. The United States of America

Number of combat aircraft: 2,785

Without a doubt, the number one in our list of the largest air forces in the world belongs to the United States. The number above represents the combined air arsenal of all three branches, but in terms of real power and capability, the US Air Force and US Navy would probably be the two most powerful air forces in the world on their own. In fact, some 26% of all military aircraft of all types, including unmanned ones, are operated by the United States Armed Forces.
