Lore:

AviaTech-Defender F20 Late Series "Falsetto"

The AviaTech F20 (Official Designation: Low-Observable Supermaneuverable Multirole Aircraft F20; Japanese: ?????? ??-20; NATO Reporting Name: Falsetto) is a twin-engine, carrier capable, all-weather, Low-Observable multirole fighter developed by AviaTech in a partial collaboration with Defender. It is a product of Project HC-M4+ F/MP (High-Capacity Multirole (4+ Generation), Full/Mass Production) which aimed to advance the Asian Union's fighter arsenal past their existing 4th-generation aircraft.

A 4.5th generation multirole aircraft designed for both aerial combat and ground strike missions, the F20 was designed with versatility and ease of modernization in mind. The aircraft was designed with potential for a large payload, but early variants didn't utilize all the space to keep the aircraft relatively lightweight. From 2007 onwards, the aircraft replaced the Beleit C-11 in Federation Navy Forces (FNF) and the AviaTech F16 in the Federate Asian Air Force (FAAF), where it was praised for its quicker response capabilities, though it was also criticized for its relative difficulty of maintenance.

The F20D is an improvement over the F20B, carrying a slightly larger gun and a new intake design to hide the engine fans, also allowing space for a larger internal weapons bay.
