Here be the Flying Ray, from the Raiden Fighters series.

The Flying Ray was a experimental design, as part of the XTF program, to test the merits of forward swept wings. Finding it's combat performance to be above average, The Gun Dog squadron ordered a limited number of these to supplement existing fighter force.

The Flying Ray is probably the best standard fighter in Operation: Helldive. It has both firepower and speed, making it good for both survival and scoring play. In this game, compared to the Aegis and the Chaser, the Flying Ray is more maneuverable, but it is slower.
