XM-55 STRATOSNIAN7th Generation Multi-Role Dominance FighterThe XM-55 Stratosnian is not just an aircraft; it is a platform of absolute air sovereignty. Developed by the Stratos Defense Group in the late 2040s, it was designed to bridge the gap between atmospheric flight and orbital engagement, effectively ending the era of 6th-generation fighters through sheer technological overmatch.### 1. Developmental OriginBorn from the "Project Zenith" initiative, the XM-55 was built to counter the rising threat of orbital kinetic strikes and high-velocity interceptors. The name "Stratosnian" refers to its primary hunting ground—the extreme upper atmosphere—where it utilizes its unique airframe to maintain maneuverability in near-vacuum conditions.### 2. Technical Specifications & FeaturesThe Stratosnian is characterized by its signature Deep Crimson and Onyx stealth coating, designed to absorb both radar waves and high-energy laser fire. * Generation: 7th Gen (Integrated AI-Pilot Neural Link / Bio-Synthetic Avionics) * Max Speed: Mach 4.2+ (Atmospheric) / Mach 12.0 (High Altitude Dash) * Propulsion: Dual-Mode "Aether" Pulse Detonation Engines with 3D Thrust Vectoring.
