FOREWORD: This is a refinement of an earlier post, the FA-67, which I will refer to as the FA-67A.
An evolution of the FA-67, another competitor in the Accilian Advanced Fighter Base program, this was fleshed out into a fifth generation equivalent multirole aircraft. The aircraft incorporates some of the aspects if it's competitor, the F-43A. However, this aircraft is an entirely different aircraft. It's wing structure is quite unusual, as it begins as a trapezoidal wing, and then abruptly changes to a forward swept, anhedral profile. The FA-67B's main distinguishment from the FA-67A was the complete overhaul of the rear section, replacing the entire engine housing to accomidate the thrust vectoring paddles.
The FA-67B has an armament of 2 Vulcan Rotary Cannons, as well as Sidewinders, 8 AMRAAMS, and, to give it some attacker capabilities, 4 Hellfire AG missiles.
CONTROLS:
AG1&2: Fire AMRAAMs (in groups of 4)
AG3: Fire Hellfires
AG5: nosewheel steering
