History and characteristicsEdit

A joint collaboration between Lockheed Martin and Mitsubishi, the origins of the F-2A trace back to a plan of the Japanese government from the 1980s to produce a secondary fighter to replace the aging F-1 trainer aircraft and supplement its other main fighters, the F-4EJ and the F-15J, using the F-16 as a basis.

The Viper Zero owes its increased body size to the "Agile Falcon", a proposed US derivative of the F-16 with a larger body and an upgraded powerplant. The concept was ignored and abandoned by the USAF in favor of the Joint Strike Fighter program, but was revived under the FS-X program that would lead to the F-2A.
