Air-Superiority Fighter

Eagle - FA-12 Hussar
Despite being one of the most advanced aircraft in the world at the time of its introduction, the Hussar nevertheless was kept in reserve, serving in air self-defense forces amid many controversies over inadequacies in performance and safety. By now, however, it has become a primary air superiority and strike aircraft.

Raven - AeraX Aurora II
The Aurora's service began almost three decades ago, over which time it contended with multiple attempts at a successor. However, the versatility of the fighter's airframe allowed for easy modernization. Although derived from the original, the Aurora II continues to trump any would-be usurpers.

Tactical Bomber

BA-9 Trebuchet
The Trebuchet came off the drawing board just as variable-sweep wings became obsolete, though considerations to hold off production and redesign the aircraft were deemed to not be worth the cost. Long range, significant payload, and an impressive top speed quickly made the Trebuchet a valued asset in the tactical and strategic bombing roles.

AeraX Squall
A multitude of different long-range strike aircraft of wildly varying characteristics proved to be a supply and training challenge for decades. A contract to devise a more unified design with a good balance of range, speed, payload, and multirole capability ended with AeraX's Squall bomber, although the other competitors ended with AeraX's money and coercion.

Ground Attack Aircraft

AA-86 Onager
This veritable fossil of an airframe has faced decommissioning and repalcement more times than one can count. Despite constant mockery for its seemingly outdated concepts, it is nevertheless a favorite among troops for whom it has provided close air support, owing to its varied armament, ease of deployment, and distinctive centerpiece 30mm cannon.

Albri Comet
A modern take on a seemingly antiquated solution, the Comet was designed in response to the AA-86 Onager ground-attack aircraft, in order to fill the role of a versatile close air support aircraft. Although that was more than two decades ago, the Comet's cost-effectiveness, combined with the affection for it by maintenance crews, pilots, and logisticians alike, have made it difficult to replace, despite AeraX's best efforts.

Light Transport Helicopter

L-9 Kestros
Based on a popular civilian helicopter, the Veles and its variants have had a long and storied career in the armed forces, adapted into a variety of roles. Nevertheless, its original, unmodified form has seen extensive use over the decades as a light utility transport, often for special-forces and recon insertion.

Hathell Grasshopper
Best known for their various lines of executive and law-enforcement helicopters, the Grasshopper is Hathell's sole success in the defense market. Being much lighter, faster, more agile, and cheaper than most other rotary-wing light transports, the stock model is the most common for rapid deployment of troops.

Scout Helicopter

L-9 Veles
Based on a popular civilian helicopter, the Veles and its variants have had a long and storied career in the armed forces, adapted into a variety of roles. Retaining all the transport capabilities of the original, the scout variant's laser designator and camera system makes for more effective artillery spotting and observation.

Hathell Grasshopper
Best known for their various lines of executive and law-enforcement helicopters, the Grasshopper is Hathell's sole success in the defense market. In addition to being able to transport personnel quickly and with relative subtlety, the scout variant also sports optics for use by an artillery observer, allowing it to call in support for dismounts.

Light Attack Helicopter

LA-9 Kestros
Based on a popular civilian helicopter, the Veles and its variants have had a long and storied career in the armed forces, adapted into a variety of roles. The Kestros is one such variant, armed with rockets and rotary-barrel machine guns to act as a light attack helicopter, and has become a favorite among special ops and QRF units.

Hathell Locust
Best known for their various lines of executive and law-enforcement helicopters, the Grasshopper is Hathell's sole success in the defense market. The Locust light attack variant first made its debut prior to the introduction of Veikar's Hornet gunship, and sees continued usage as a raider, escort, and light transport.

Self-Propelled Anti-Air

SPAD-T.2 Hoplite
In doctrine, air defense for maneuvering units was to be provided by fighter cover. In practice, however, that fighter cover was not always available. In order to persuade enemy aircraft to keep their distance from mobile elements, surplus Warrior A1 hulls were converted into Hoplite Self-Propelled Air Defense vehicles. Although an ad-hoc solution, in action beneath hostile airspace, they proved very persuasive indeed.

Hatamoto Viper MADS
The Type 14 Mobile Air Defense System promised to be the final word in air defense for maneuver-intensive units, with only the most cutting edge systems for detecting, tracking, and destroying the supposedly untouchable latest generation of strike aircraft. It turned out to be too expensive even for the Ravens, however, so a revised version of its turret was placed on top of a modified Kodiak hull instead.
