Spare Aeronautics proudly present you the ADA-37F "War Kite"

The ADA-37F was a multirole fighter aircraft used during the Intercontinental war of 2143.

This aircraft was first designed as a concept for a manueverable space fighter by Jenkins Spaceworks, designated as YSA-002 "Doritos".

The design was later abandoned but Spare Aeronautics took interest in "Doritos" and bought the design.
Spare Aeronautics saw a potential in its design and started drawing the new blueprint in 2132 hoping to turn the "Doritos" into a multirole aircraft

The fuel tank in the original design was replaced with a weapon bay since the aircraft wont be using much fuel compared to the original design where the craft used a engine which drains fuel at fast rating.

The aircraft retains its P-13A1 Pulse laser from its original design due to the weapon being lightweight and is very destructive in the right hand, boasting high muzzle velocity and damage output but have low rate of fire compared to conventional machine guns.

The aircraft has total of 4 engine capable of propelling the craft to almost Mach 2. The engine has been divided into 2 part, 2 on the left and other on the right.
Mounted on a 2D vector thrust for extra manueverbility.

Some of the RCN nozzle also remained to compensate for the lack of vertical fins and to recover the aircraft from a flatspin, which is likely caused by aggressively shifting the rudder left and right and careless stall speed manuevering with vectored thrusters

The "War Kite" later entered entered service in the Royal Kondorian Airforce in 2139 and served on the Intercontinental War.

AG1 : Arrestor Hook
AG2 : Open/Close Weapon bay - Arm/Disarm missile

AG7 : Fold/Unfold wings

Statistics :
Speed : 1400mph at sea level
Stall speed (Loses pitch control) : 120mph
Optimal carrier landing speed : 200mph
Average speed while turning at 100% throttle :
1020mph
Weapons : 2x P13A1 Pulser laser, 6 internal hardpoints, 4 external hardpoints

Weapon bay

Folded wings

Note : The weapon bay fits all the missile provided by NATF Program Challenge except for the bomb, which can be mounted on the external hardpoint, keep this in mind that my goal in building this craft was to make it mobile friendly while also fulfilling most of the requirements provided by NATF Program Challenge

    Looks a lot like the heavy fighter from imperium Galactica 2

    Flies very well and very useful for light dogfights
