The CF-A57 Vanguard is a low-cost, lightweight 4th-generation multirole fighter designed by Stratosyn Dynamics to provide a capable yet affordable solution for nations and organizations that need modern airpower without the price tag of 5th-gen platforms.Built with a focus on simplicity, modularity, and maintainability, the CF-A57 uses proven aerodynamics and off-the-shelf components while integrating limited modern tech such as digital flight controls, glass cockpit systems, and a basic radar warning receiver suite.The aircraft’s twin-engine configuration ensures reliability and short-field performance, while its rugged frame allows for operations from semi-prepared runways. Though not stealthy, the A57’s compact design and composite skin reduce its radar signature compared to legacy fighters.Its loadout flexibility includes air-to-air missiles, dumb and smart bombs, and reconnaissance pods, making it ideal for close air support, border patrol, and budget air defense roles.
