A massive, 5-wing aircraft, and yet it has the maneuverability of an F-18 (well, almost). Tons of firepower and fuel, and horsepower and wings, this beast can be used in so many roles.

The Reliable was a massive fighter designed in France as a defensive aircraft against the very common air raids of the now defeated air pirates. Armed with four massive steam-powered rifles, which weighed about 567 lbs each, fired an HE bullet-shaped shell approximately 31.4 mm in diameter, and 2000 mm in length with a warhead of pure nitroglycerin weighing about 12 lbs. The Reliable was used decades after its first flight and still serves with the AOI Airshow division as a stunt craft.
