HF-17 Cyclone Bolide is a supersonic modern medium fighter aircraft for both Air Force and Naval uses. Originally Cyclone's design was intended to be featured with variable-geometry wing, but for some reason the wing design was changed to forward-swept wing instead to enhance maneuverability and reduces it's maneuverability for both to accompany it's supercruise capability and for missile evasion purpose although it actually sacrifices stability, and there is a 'canard' in the tail for reduces runway usage length. The fighter aircraft's role was supposed from minor to major dogfights and bomber escort and also capable for light ground attack.
