OVERVIEW
The F-37B Blackwing is a next-generation stealth fighter designed to meet the needs of the United States Air Force. A direct response to Russian and Chinese next-generation airpower, this aircraft is designed to sneak up on, outmaneuver, and overwhelm its adversary in an engagement.

UNRIVALED COMBAT CAPABILITY.
The Blackwing is equipped with forward and aft weapons bays, the aft bays containing a total of six stations with three on either side of the aircraft. The forward bays contain two stations, with one on either side.

Blackwing can acquire and fire upon aircraft at extreme aspects, with a nearly 180-degree high off boresight locking capability using a helmet-mounted cuing system.

SHOCK AND AWE.
Blackwing carries our next generation air-to-air and air-to-ground missile technology: the AIM-128 Flare HAAM (Hypersonic Air to Air Missile), and the AGM-275 Pathfinder Alpha HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) missiles, with the intent of removing the opportunity for the adversary to respond, using the element of surprise, and complete and absolute speed.

The AIM-128 Flare has a locking range of over 400 miles, and can reach speeds well above Mach 5 in flight, giving adversaries next to no chance to respond. The missile has a flight time of up to 120 seconds, giving it time to re-acquire a missed target and pursue it again, which makes for an almost guaranteed probability of kill.

The AGM-275 Pathfinder Alpha HEAT is a hypersonic air-to-ground missile, with a locking range of over 420 miles designed to make as much area and impact damage to tanks, armored personnel carriers, anti-aircraft artillery, or ships as possible to maximize probability of kill.
