The Yanfei, internal designation Lyra Type 432 is a small fifth-generation turbojet fighter.
Lore
Aircraft mission classes were emphasized after the 1943-1946 fighter debacle which lead to:
Class I — lightweight, small aircraft (e.g. point-defence interceptors)
Class II — typical aircraft (e.g. North American F-86)
Class III — larger aircraft (e.g. North American F-108)
In 2010's there was a call for a new battle doctrine that shall use stealth characteristics for new-generation aircraft. The 432 was pitted for Class I type fighter against its opposition 1017 (Ragnvindr). The aircraft entered service by the latter of the decade.
