A fighter aircraft based off of the Boeing B-52 StratoFortress.

This aircraft was commissioned by the US Airforce to Boing in 1950 for a fighter aircraft that was able to accompany the B-52 into combat and provide support for it. Boeing came up with the idea just to use a smaller version of the same airframe. (The B-52 has a length of 160ft and wingspan of 185ft, while the F-52 has a length of 77.5ft and a wingspan of 105.4ft)

While the F-52 isn't as maneuverable as smaller more contemporary fighters, it is still a force to be reckoned with. Carrying a total of 8 .50 Mg's, 12 anti air missiles, 2 500lb bombs and a fast firing multirole 20mm cannons on both wings.
