The AAC Whirlpool was the last of the MVA program swing wings, entering service in 1964, designed as a long range heavy interceptor it was the largest swing wing fighter ever built it could fly the furthest of any fighter at the time of its introduction making it the perfect fighter for intercepting andrian bombing raids during the Esnian civil war, able to climb up to 10,000 metres in less than 10 minutes and stay at that height for 12 hours allowing it to intercept multiple waves of andrian bombers without landing. The swing wing nature of the aircraft made it easy to takeoff and land from very short runways during war, it was a beast with no andrian equal. It would remain in service till the early 2000s.
