[Description]

RF-10 D-9 is a Single Seater, Medium Range, Carrier Capable, Multirole Fighter, powered by a Liquid Cooled V12, it was the most produced Aircraft in the world with total unit of 33,000+ All Variants Combined

As with all Trislandian Design, its most iconic feature was its CRP Configuration, the choice for CRP is by design, not only it allows for better usage of all 3000hp that the engine produce, it also allows for immense acceleration and high altitude capability, the torque cancelation nature of CRP also means that it was easy to handle both in ground and in air even with the high horsepower high torque engine

Its capability at any altitude is noticable, with Energy Fighting being its strongest suit, capable of outclimbing, outdiving, outspeeding, and out-accellerate all aircraft save from Turbine powered ones, however this does not mean it was bad at turn fighting, au contraire, its high power and small airframe led to a plane that is just as capable in turn fighting other aircraft, out maneuvered sure, but Taifun will always be able to recover from small mistakes

The RF-10 was a dream, the non plus ultra, of course, every pilot wanted to fly it as soon as possible, the pilots called it Taifun not for nothing, it is like a literal Typhoon, its wild, its unpredictable, but once you are 'connected' with it, once you have broken that man and machine barrier, it could do whatever you want it to do

See, Decide, Attack, Reverse, it is imperative for the flyer to be Disciplined when flying the Taifun, a bad pilot blame the aircraft, a good pilot blame themself
