The F-41 Sea Kite is a 4++ generation fighter designed to be a versatile multi role platform to support a multitude of nations. The aircraft combines the benefits of a delta canard configuration with an extremely low wing loading to make it one of the most maneuverable aircraft ever developed. Due to its low speed capability (control under 85mph) the aircraft can also land on U.S Supercarriers without arresting equipment.

Pros:
- Versatile weapons configurations.
- Ext tremely maneuverable (even at altitudes excess of 30,000 ft).
- Carrier capable (Beast class aircraft carrier only).
- STOL capability.
- High payload quantity (6 air to air stores, 6 air to ground, 2 wet stores).

Cons:
- Unstable in certain weapon configurations.
- relatively slow (possible engine upgrade required).
- low range and fuel load.

Action groups:
- 1: Nav lights
- 2: Anti-collision lights
- 4: Drop A/G stores
- 5: Drop Wet stores
- 6: Drop A/A stores
