DESCRIPTION

Overview

The FS-12 Revoker is built for agility above all else, capable of extreme maneuvers at almost any speed. Internal weapon bays help reduce drag, allowing supersonic speeds even at low altitudes and with heavy payloads.

Design

The FS-12 Revoker is a single-engine supersonic air superiority jet fighter, with deep strike capability.
It has a tailless compound trapezoidal-wing and CCC (Close Coupled Canard)-LERX configuration, with a powerful afterburning turbofan and a multi-axis thrust vectoring nozzle, as well as a pair of air brakes installed on the top of the fuselage. Its single after-burning turbofan provides excellent thrust to weight ratio, close to 1 even at maximum take off load. Using its thrust vectoring and forward control surfaces, the Revoker is naturally unstable. It uses fly-by-wire flight controls to maintain stability, so that it is able to fly at very high angle of attacks, making it a very good dogfighter.

The cockpit is arranged around a single large Tactical Screen Display, allowing the pilot to access all important information at once. All onboard avionics, including a powerful multi-mode pulse Doppler radar and optical sensors, are fully integrated in sensors fusion. The Revoker is designed to operate with the datalink to seamlessly exchange information in real-time between the aircraft and other components of the network of static radars, ground vehicles and airborne sensors.

The FS-12 Revoker has been initially designed as an Air Superiority Fighter, using its unrivaled maneuverability, as well as powerful onboard 20mm rotary cannon and air-to-air guided missiles to gain control of the airspace. Multiple upgrades expanded the range of available weapons, to include guided bombs and missiles, carried inside its internal weapon bays and under its wings pylon.

Despite its age and the introduction of newer, more capable fighters, the Revoker remains a formidable strike fighter in the hands of an experienced pilot.

The real world inspirations for the FS-12 Revoker appear to be the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen, Dassault Rafale, General Dynamics F-16 Viper, and Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
