Grommet F-7A Puma

Max speed 500 mph at S.L., 750 mph at 20,000', 1050 mph at 40,000'. Service ceiling 50,000'+. Approach speed 135 mph. Answering a Jundroo Navy requirement for a high performance jet able to operate from the Goliath class carriers, the Grommet "Ironwerx" succeeded brilliantly; fast, reasonably easy to recover onboard (with practice), with light wing loading from a large wing area and a light gross weight, it's highly maneuverable at altitude and has a fantastic roll rate. Some say it's too maneuverable, requiring judicious control inputs to prevent departure.
