XFA-36A

Yay! Bonus post for today!

The XFA-36A Game is an advanced fighter designed and manufactured by General Resource. It began to see deployment towards the end of the Inter-corporate war in the 2040s. The XFA-36 makes it's only appearance in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
The XFA-36 is unlocked by the player by completing the mission "Dilemma" in the Japan version of the game. In the international versions, it is unlocked by completing "Ouroboros"

Engines

The XFA-36 is equipped with two afterburning turbofans of unknown type. They feature thrust vectoring nozzles, and are enclosed in a triangular housing.

Agility

The combination of canards, thrust vectoring, and advanced flap control give this aircraft good mobility, but it struggles at low speeds.

Weaponry

There are 10 standard missiles in a weapons bay mounted on the underside of the fuselage, and a cannon for strafing and close range combat.

Reliability

There is not much reference material regarding the reliability of this aircraft...

Cost

The cost is unknown too...

Creator's Notes
- While not 100% accurate, it's the best I could do without losing my sanity
- As stated before, there wasn't much reference material regarding the XFA-36, but it's fun taking liberties sometimes.
- This was designed with blueprints, so the shape is 100% proportionate. The size is roughly the same as the Ace Combat size.
- Gotta love that Ouroboros gray...

    @RedIndustries It's just a habit of mine... truthfully I should have put zero countermeasures since those weren't in Ace Combat until Assault Horizon.

    Nice work! I think you have a bit too much countermeasures, but other than that, great build! Good job!
