presenting the A-2I Orion!

What is the A-2I?

Yva Industries' First produced plane. This is the A-2I Orion, the 'I' standing as roman numeral 1, as this is the first iteration of the A-2 Series. The plane was built in around the 1950s during the early cold war as a French 2nd generation naval fighter, albeit, it ended up more as an attack aircraft, thus it's nomenclature 'A-', but it does excel well at both fighting and attack roles, jack of all trades, master of none.

A-2I Purpose and extra text

The A-2I was built around some of the lightest aircraft frame materiel available, allowing it to push to quite an insane 500 knots, the plane was made to rival that of the MiG-15 or F-86, which it can rival directly, especially with engines that are roughly triple that of the F-86's power output (A-2I has around 12000 lbf, while the F-86 has 4000 lbf), but it especially shines with it's insane light weight which makes it have a T:W above 2! which is unheard of at the time, but the plane does require some strength to control and is abit slugglish at higher speeds.

Manual/Instructions

(because I forgot to put craft instructions)
AG1: Tail Hook
AG2: Fold Wings
AG3: Canopy

My first ever plane btw!! and yes I know 12000lbf in 1950 is unrealistic but I am way too lazy to change it
