Brief Information

The PoiyaYudatsi J.74 Flying Squirrel (MAI designation: Hiei, namesake IJN Hiei) is a tandem-seat, twin-engine transonic all-weather multirole strike fighter-bomber currently in service with the Karyan Union Air Force, the Royal Fabellan Air Force, and the Royal Ovanian Air Force.

The J.74 is possibly an improvement over the A.140 Haruna - with slightly higher avionics, multi-role capabilities, and a powerful Rolls Royce RB.168 Spey Mk.202 powerplant. Spoilers were added for aerodynamic improvements.

The J.74 is the last of the J-line of PoiyaYudatsi's multi-role fighters, to make way with the new designation successions. She, in her air supremacy and strike attack role, participated in the Terror War, the Avgad siege, and the First Modern Crusade against the Satanist self-proclaimed republics in Fabella.

A newer derivative of the J.74, the FA-140E Kongou will be developed from is airframe.
