Introduction

Germany flew Hawker Seahawks in the 1950's to 1960's, around mid way through their service life the Bundesmarine decided they required a larger more heavily armed aircraft to fullfil its duties. Rather than purchase DH Sea Vixens they decided to employ RJ to design a custom aircraft to meet their requirements.

The Füchsin was a two seat, all weather, carrier capable multirole aircraft which was a significant improvement over the previous Seahawks, it could carry more ordinance, fly further, higher and faster.

This build was started in 2024.
