The XFA-24A Apalis is a multirole combat aircraft from the Strangereal continuity.

The XFA-24A was a prototype multirole aircraft created in the 2010s in the post-Circum-Pacific War period by an unknown manufacturer. It was designed primarily as a multirole fighter capable of operation in all fronts, having been conceived under a philosophy of "not choosing the battlefield." Vaguely similar to a Rafale aircraft, it has a large fuel storage and weapons capacity on account of its double delta configuration.

Owing to its manufacturing creed, it was designed to use conventional parts and components to remain active in the face of supply shortages, and does not exceed in any particular aspect of performance to maintain affordability. Its optimal operation is enhanced by the use of canards and 3D thrust vectoring without sacrificing its combat capabilities.
A particular software upgrade, the "Earth Shaker" system, enhanced its ground attack ability by digitally analyzing ground terrain.
