The German Air Force (German: Luftwaffe), formerly known before 2032 as the Imperial German Flying Corps (German: Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches), is one of the three main branches of the armed forces of Germany (the other being the Army and Navy). When the Federal Republic became the German Empire in 2023, the branch was renamed the Flying Corps, but in 2032 it was changed back to simply German Air Force (Luftwaffe) to maintain its tradition.
