A-31 "Icarus" Stratofighter
The A-31 Stratofighter is the main active fighter within the Magnam Imperii's forces. Planned to be replaced by the next generation A-41 "Daedalus" Stratofighter in the next few years, the venerable fighter as shown its ability during the wars against the Aesir and the Concordat despite its age.
The inverted wing design, combined with three flight computers give the A-31 high maneuvrability and makes it able to engage most enemy aircrafts with relative ease. This efficacity on the battlefield was greatly reduced over the last decades, waranting the development of the A-41, which would fare better against contemporary airforces. However, due to the massive reduction of spatial capabilities of the Magnam Imperii following the Aesir Wars, the A-31 still remains in service five years after its planned decomissioning. |
