This failed competitor had been given a remake as an non-contending, independent aircraft type. Also known as the Thinfin due to the small wing area of the horizontal stabilizers, it is still capable of stable level flight and attacks.

The Kriedeprinz (Gerhardt-Seder) object 2105 is an attack aircraft used for close air support and anti-materiel operations. First flown in 1969, it has entered service in 1975, and still serving for the USAF (as the A-11 Vulture) and the German air force as for the attack role.

Here shown is the 'White 55', AF-283 flying before performing a mock strafe at an army air training ground.
