The Blackhawk is an air superiority fighter commissioned and produced by the Septan Empire at an unknown date. It would first make its appearance in the 1st SeptTerran war as has grown a deadly reputation for its ability to aggressively dogfight other enemy fighters with ease.

When early Terran pilots first came into contact with a Blackhawk they found themselves overpowered by its maneuverability and available firepower. Armed with a large array of missiles the Blackhawk can easily take on multiple bogeys at once and come out on top, twin 20mm autocannons provide good additional firepower to its already impressive array of weaponry.

Thanks to its unorthodox design the Blackhawk can make tight turns at any speed and can typically outmaneuver most enemy fighters available in the market. Unfortunately, what the Blackhawk has in maneuverability it lacks in speed, being a slower fighter experienced pilots can take advantage of this lack of speed to find a good opening or even outrun the fighter.

The Blackhawk has been in use for over 2000 years and it shows, although its design is still very capable and dangerous, more modern attack fighters have surpassed its ability to overpower the enemy. Fighters like the Bluejay or Quicksilver can not only outrun a Blackhawk but they can also outmaneuver them and even outgun them with its wider array of weaponry.

Despite its age, The Blackhawk remains a staple of peak Umbayan aeronautics engineering with modern variants constantly improving on its original design, the Blackhawk was built to last.

Another remake from one of my older designs, have fun flying!
