JF-45 Rahnkah
First Jet fighter i made for this series. It uses the larger BFE 150 but lowered the power output to match the power for jet engines of the era. Its design is based off the Sanka Mk B from Sky Crawlers but with a jet engine instead.
Initially a twin prop pusher plane. Designers found that it lacked the power needed to fly properly, thus they installed an experimental Jet engine instead. This allowed the plane to go up to speeds bordering the Sound barrier at level flight and a high combat speed. the Rahnkah also boost sufficcient maneuverbility and stability in flight with its Gull wing and Swept wing design however , constant trim is needed at low speed to prevent the plane from losing control.
The Rahnkah is fitted with the same armament as 109 with 2 autocannons and 4 machineguns with underwing pylons on the wings and fuelslage carry external fuel tanks and weapons. It is also fitted with Flares for illumination. Due to its early engine its max operation celing is limited and it is unable to pull sustained vertical climbs although dogfighting is still cabable of dogfighing jets of its era such as the P20 and Y12.
