FT-90 KESTREL
Lightweight Tactical Fighter & Advanced Trainer
The FT-90 KESTREL is a compact, agile, and high-performance light fighter developed by Zeroxcx to bridge the gap between advanced training aircraft and frontline combat fighters. Designed with efficiency and responsiveness as its core principles, the FT-90 excels in high-maneuverability combat, tactical support, and pilot transition roles.
Featuring a small airframe with a powerful thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 3.5, the KESTREL delivers exceptional acceleration and sharp handling characteristics. Its delta-wing configuration provides stability at high speeds while maintaining tight turning capability, making it highly effective in close-range engagements and rapid-response missions.
The FT-90’s lightweight structure and optimized wing loading allow it to operate efficiently from shorter runways, forward air bases, and dispersed operations. This makes it an ideal platform for quick interception, point defense, and advanced combat training, where pilot skill and aircraft responsiveness are critical.
