FA-56 Greybird

345 Osprey2008  8 months ago

The FA-56 Greybird isa Tandem seated, single engine, multirole fighter aircraft designed for the purpose of being a carrier based Fighter alternative to the A-50 Hawklion. While it is only subsonic speed capable in regular flight, it makes up for it in its ability to maintain energy quite well around 375 kts. Now because it is a fighter, and it was designed to be a fighter, you would expect it to be a fighter, yet NO! It is a multirole aircraft, everyone thought the A-50 Hawklion had such bad performance, it made your uncles shitbox look like a supersonic race car. So the military contacted the company, and told them quote: “ay throw some cheese on that bitch!” And out came the FA-56 Greybird, one of the sexiest and sleekest aircraft ever designed by Osprey Corp.
