Developed by Orusenda during the Second Global War as a carrier and ground based fighter, the F-30 Bulldog was the most produced aircraft of the Orusendan Air Force, The Bulldog was unique as it was one of the only piston engined fighter aircraft to utilize a V-Tail and a mid set engine with a shaft driving the engine to the nose.

Originally, the F-30 was developed as a tricycle geared, high mobility interceptor against Iosian bombers once the Second Global War had broken out, the F-30 however, failed to perform at higher altitudes due to a lack of a supercharger, the issues were quickly fixed in the F-30B when the aircraft was overhauled with a tail dragging gear, an improved engine and supercharger.
