[edit] Description
The F/A-32C Erne is a Fighter/Attacker produced and operated by General Resource LTD. When the X-32 JSF was cancelled, General Resource Ltd decided to nevertheless continue development as a low cost multi-role fighter to replace some of the ageing types such as the F-16XF and F-16XA. The resulting F/A-32 features a longer fuselage that gives it a more aerodynamic shape to house additional weapons internally. The aircraft also differed in having two smaller engines as opposed to the one large one on the X-32. A unique feature of the the F/A-32 Erne is its unusual two dimensional thrust vectoring flap and the wings are angled steeper back than on the X-32. The aircraft has full steath features as well as the COFFIN control system.
The F/A-32C was commonly used in the middle of the war of 2045 by the GRDF. The aircraft saw more use as a strike/attack aircraft than as a fighter since by this time more capable aircraft were appearing that weren't hindered by stealth design as much as the F/A-32C. Less action was seen by this type towards the end of the Corporate War.
