Designed as an affordable, small light fighter by Aevance Aerospace, the CA-23 burst onto the world stage in June 2018, after the LNF Sunk the LSF's Flagship LSF Grand Fredonia using a CA-23.

Takeoff

Powered by a Aevance R115 Engine, the CA-23 can hit a maximum flight speed (with afterburners) of mach 2.7 and a cruise speed of mach 1.3. While equipped mostly for Air defence, the CA-23 can also be used to attack ground targets. It is also Carrier Capable, equipped with folding wings and Arresting hooks.

The CA-23's capability of landing on short, unprepared airfields, as well as its low price, makes it a very popular choice for smaller nations looking for a plane to defend their airspace on the cheap. The aircraft itself is very simple, and features a AE15 AESA Radar, and a standard avionics suite.

While an Erandian design, the Erandian Air force has not placed any orders for the aircraft. The navy has placed orders for 15 CA-23B Twin-seater aircraft and 15 CA-23s as trainers to be used on ERN Lightoller, while the CA-23 is now the newest aircraft in the arsenal of the Erandian Royal Air National Guard, with many of its pilots remarking that "it was a change from getting air force Hand-me-downs". The CA-23 Equips the ERANG 15th to 42nd Squadrons. The aircraft shown here, MOL-41-F, is the 6th Aircraft of the 41st ERANG squadron, based in Molvinia. The red stripe on the Rudder indicates the aircraft belongs to the ERANG.

I originally built this as a 15-minuite build, as the Denel Cougar for my NWRP kit. The design here is heavily influenced by the Atlas Cheetah, but I eventually decided to to let this go to waste. So, say hello to the CA-23. If you enjoyed it, gimme a updoot. If not, tell me in the comment section.

Enjoy!
