The Current Aviation F-121 Nova is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft. Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft.
The Nova's key features includes forward swept wings for improved control, a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. This makes for a highly nimble aircraft. The F-121 has two M61 Vulcan cannon and as standard 6 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment.
