The F-48 Tempest is a next-generation multirole strike aircraft engineered for dominance across air and ground theaters. Built from a thermal-absorbent graphite and titanium-steel alloy composite, it maintains extreme durability while shedding excess weight for superior maneuverability and endurance.

Its powertrain combines thrust-vectoring propulsion with a classified fuel mix, rendering it invisible to radar, thermal, and ultrasonic tracking. Designed for modularity, the Tempest supports UCAV, single-pilot, and dual-pilot configurations—each maximizing mission lethality depending on role.

The Tempest’s primary weapon is a devastating Tri-IR Beam System, capable of melting through 1” of titanium per second with surgical precision at up to 12 miles. One of the three beams is purpose-built for ground dominance—a 1-foot-wide thermal stream that maintains lethal width even at 3-4 miles out, ideal for sweeping fortified enemy positions.

Its secondary system features Microburst Multi-Missile Pods, each loaded with contact-explosive munitions that detonate mid-flight or on impact, scattering high-velocity shrapnel in a shotgun-style spread. Effective in dogfights, swarms, and close-range suppression, they bring chaos to all aircraft.
