Light single-engined strike drone with one railgun as the sole armament, loaded with twenty 0.2 kiloton-equivalent projectiles. Excellent handling at all speeds and very stable in flight. An interesting characteristic of this plane is if you take it down to the water at a very shallow angle, it will skim the surface essentially forever.

AG8 to toggle pitch sensitivity, air-to-ground mode to arm railgun.

    Speaking of the Batwing, it, Nighthawk, and Bullet are all descended from this little experiment. @MrMecha

    I think the swept-wing version looks more interesting than the delta wing version, what do you think? Broadsword II is very sleek and looks better with the tapered wingtips than Broadsword does with the untapered ones. For each plane there's a look that feels right to me. @MrMecha

    Yeah, I much prefer this one to Bullet. It flies incredibly well - you can even use it as a hovercraft - and there's something about its looks that makes it one of my favourites. Thanks for your upvotes and spotlights @MrMecha, they are much appreciated.
