QF-48A Black Wolf
The QF-48 Black Wolf is a high performance fighter developed as a vessel for the Accilian Free Will Artificial Intelligence program. The Black Wolf is notably slender in it's design, as the need for pilots' oxygen tanks and temperature regulators are not needed.
The QF-48 performs best at low altitudes and in close-up dogfights, where it can shred enemy planes with it's overcharged LC-02 Laser Cannons and high agility.
Little is known about the origins of it's craft; not even the Accilian government knows of this application of their AI. There are no markings, other than an emblem on the sides of it's hull, and red with black around the hull.
Besides it's laser cannons, it has 16 micro-missiles stuffed away in pods around the fuselage. this allows the missiles to be launched from any direction, at the cost of there being no countermeasures on this plane.
The engines on this plane are the Accilian plasma engines found on Project 8120, just miniaturized to fit the thinner frame.
To ease the burden on the AI, the plane was not equipped with any fancy gimmicks like variable geometry.
If this is indeed an Accilian-built plane as experts believe, it represents a massive leap in aeronautics technologies that can have a notable impact on the Intruder War, but as of yet the aircraft is considered non-aligned.
