Fixed-wing airframe 04, fighter.
WARNING: Highly unstable in the roll axis. Be careful when maneuvering at low speeds.
Activation Group 1: Afterburner
Activation Group 2: Tailhook

An extremely light carrier-capable drone fighter with a top speed of about Mach 2.2. Its slender wings result in extreme roll instability. Carries the same engine as the FW-03FA on a smaller airframe, giving the aircraft a very high thrust-to-weight ratio relative to my other aircraft. The lack of fuel, however, means the aircraft is short-ranged, especially with afterburner. The small wings and instability also mandate a small armament of only 4 missiles at most.

Armament
2x AA-02 medium-range active radar air-to-air missiles. Instant lock in a 45° cone with a maximum range of 15km and a minimum range of 1km.
2x AS-01 short-range laser-guided air-to-surface missiles. Instant lock in a 60° cone. Sinks a destroyer in 4 hits, and destroys a tank in one.
