Fighters

The Gauntlet Industries GF-4 “Kestrel” fighter is a 6th generation multi role VTOL fighter. It looks similar to the F-35 but with a longer fuselage and a canards in the front, as well as 2 top and bottom retractable vertical tail fins. It has a top speed of around Mach 2 and can pull up to 9Gs. It has ok stealth capabilities, not as stealthy as the F-35 due to the canards but stealthier than the average jet.

The Gauntlett industries GF-6 “Swallowtail” fighter is a 6th generation air superiority fighter. It looks like a cross between the Su-47 and the YF-23. It has an all moving V tail and a forward swept wing. It has stealth capabilities less than that of the F-22, but far greater than any conventional fighter. and has a top speed of around Mach 2.4. It can pull around 10 Gs with a pilot and 13 Gs when remote controlled.

The Stellar Dynamics HF-1 “Swarmer” is an interesting fighter. It has a V-tail design with large swept wings with a Chine across its body. It looks similar in appearance F-117 nighthawk albeit with a wider profile. It is Mach 1.2 capable, very stealthy, can pull 5.5 Gs and has advanced avionics. It has a system to autonomously and automatically control multiple unmanned “wingman” aircraft to fly around it. It can control up to 4 small “wingman” UAVs to fly alongside it. Due to the control systems for the wingmen taking up so much space, it can carry only 4 missiles and has Vulcan cannon but most of its firepower comes from its UAVs.

The Stellar Dynamics HF-A1 “Bee” is an advanced combat UAV. It is around 9 meters long and travels at around Mach 1.3 and can pull 9 Gs. Similar in appearance to the Kratos XQ-58 UAV with large delta wings. It is designed to be autonomously commanded by the HF-1 or the HB-1 and fly alongside it and assist it in combat.

The Stellar Dynamics HF-A2 “Arrowhead” is a small UAV, only 7 meters long with a wingspan of 7 meters as well. It is flying wing design with radar jamming technology and no weapons. it is designed use the radar jamming near its host aircraft, either the HF-1 or HB-1, to redirect missiles away from it. If needed it will go into a “suicide” mode, and will will fly into the enemy to sacrifice itself and get hit by missiles or if it’s lucky, collide with the enemy.

Bombers

The Gauntlet Industries GB-2 “Owl”
A flying wing stealth bomber that has a range of 5,000 miles and is almost invisible on radar with a radar cross section smaller than a pinhead. It looks similar to the B-21 but with trapezoidal wings that then taper into swept wings. It is nuclear capable and can carry 1,900 kgs of explosive ordinance.

The Stellar Dynamics HB-1 “Hive” is an advanced bomber, being a large compound delta wing looking similar to the XB-70, but longer and with a larger wingspan. Its top speed is Mach 1.4 and cruises at Mach 0.8 capable and can carry 18,000 kgs of explosive ordinance. It has advanced avionics and electronics allowing it to command up to 10 small UAVs to act as defending wingmen. Due to it having a very large radar cross section and poor stealth, it often uses HF-2As to redirect incoming missiles.

Gauntlett-Styropyro GB-2S “Eagle eye”
A modified GB-2 “owl” made for the military of Greater Burmaria. Designed as a ground attacker, all of its explosive ordinance has been gutted out in favor of a 3 P4W-1 laser systems. The laser is designed to fire at incoming warships. Since it only has 3 lasers it can only target 3 enemies at a time, or when firing at large targets such as battleship, it can focus its 3 laser beams into one large beam. Each laser can fire in bursts of 10 seconds in duration and take 10 minutes to recharge. The long recharge time is prevent the overloading of the cooling system that is also wired into the engines of the plane. Due to the massive weight of the laser system it limits the plane’s range to 2000 Km. Designed for defending key positions and coastlines.

Interceptors

XHI-1

A prototype hypersonic interceptor. Can travel Mach 1.1 without an afterburner. It uses a turbojet-ramjet hybrid engine. With afterburners it is capable of Mach 5.2. It has a range of approximately 3,500 miles without refueling. Appearance-wise it is a blended wing body design with a cranked arrow delta wing similar to the SAAB Draken. Its blended wing body means its fuselage acts as a weak lifting surface under hypersonic speeds. It has a V tail similar to the of the YF-23. It has S duct intakes at the bottom of the fuselage. In addition to a stealthy shape its surface is heat resistant due to carbon and tungsten based composites. It can carry 6 radar guided Air to Air missiles and 2 scramjet multipurpose missiles.
