The Sig-XFA 110 "W" (nicknamed after the wing format when variable geometry is activated) is an experimental aircraft built with the objective of R&D on a W shaped variable geometry wing based aircraft and its benefits for speed, manouverability and aerodynamics. Does not carry any weapons. Has an experimental system for airbrakes which results on extremely fast braking. This aircarft is capable of carrier landings and take-offs.
Development: Hired by the US Navy and USAF, SiG had to make this test bed aircraft. During testing, it was considered the new F14 Tomcat.
Controls: Standard plane controls.
AG1 for hook.
VTOL up to fold wings back.
