Many thanks to Viper1Zero for the PSM and Sadboye12 for assisting me with flight characteristics

basically a Mave from yukikaze in my style, plus some F8U Crusader stuff ;)

-Description-

With the rising threat of JAM aircraft invading earth, Orion Industries partnered with several other defense firms to create the most destructive aircraft possible to defend earth against the unknown JAM threat. The end result of this affair was the AEF-92A "Archangel", known by it's pilots and crews as the Flying Scissors due to it's appearance. The aircraft has a unique "Framework fuselage", meaning it does not use the usual single piece fuselage of other aircraft. This allowed the aircraft to be low in drag, effectively giving the ability to perform very high G maneuvers. Usually fitted with a T.A.R.I.R pod, (Tactical Air Reconnaissance, Intelligence, and Radar), this version, made for CAP, was fitted with a electromagnetic launcher with a movable platform. This allowed for high-speed interception of enemy aircraft. A skilled pilot can use this to defeat missiles due to the railgun's proxy fuse ammunition.

A variant that replaced the pilot with a UAV-like canopy containing [REDACTED] to control the aircraft instead of a pilot. This also allowed the [REDACTED], so G-Forces had much less effect on the ability of the [REDACTED] to control the aircraft.
