Like the swift and agile little bird, the F-11 Swallow places acceleration and quick directional changes over raw speed and endurance. Short take offs are possible thanks to thrust vectoring.

By outsourcing the avionics, the Smith team was able to focus their full attention toward the company’s first non VTOL, vectored thrust, aircraft.

AG1 -Jettison centerline fuel tank
