User:Flame-124/F/A-110 Firehawk

The F/A-110 VTOL "Firehawk" was a multirole Vertical Take Off and Landing jet deployed by the UNSC Army Air Corps. Although an atmospheric vehicle, it could travel in the stratosphere for short periods of time to increase their operational rage, or deploy quickly without threat of counterattack.

Description
The jet possesses a dynamically unstable airframe with downward-canted forward-swept wings with downward-canted canards requiring an AI controller to stay in flight while the pilot issues commands. However, it is capable of quickly altering the course and speed of the craft, making it an excellent air superiority fighter. The AI was primitive by the standards of the day, comparable to a 21st century operating system, but was poweful enough to fly the aircraft. Typically the fighters would be parked back-to-back insquadrons of four on the launch pads and would deploy at the same time.
