The A-3-F Rattlesnake was Aerolight’s counter to the Attari M20 series. As the A-1-A Hornet interceptors were ineffective against the much lighter and nimble M20s. The head engineers wanted to create a fast, light fighter, capable of landing on carriers that and not sacrificing weaponry. This was the result. Though still not as maneuverable as the M20 22, this plane can make quick work of the light and therefore fragile aircraft that it faces. The Rattlesnake got its name from its first generation turbo prop engine that rattles like the snake’s famous rattle. Now being widely used by the Grand Republic of Prussia, these new planes are phasing out the older and outdated Hornets.
