LORE: The XFA-23A Vortex is an experimental air-superiority fighter developed to test high-agility flight control systems and advanced propulsion concepts. Its airframe uses a compact delta layout with forward canards for improved low-speed handling and rapid pitch response. Powered by a high-thrust turbofan with vectoring capability, the Vortex can sustain tight turns and quick acceleration, making it ideal for close-in maneuvering trials.Primarily used as a technology demonstrator, the aircraft carries a limited external weapons load for air-to-air testing. The XFA-23A provides valuable data for future fighter development while remaining a capable test-range dogfighter in its own right.
