At the time of me sharing this aircraft, i currently have 977 points. Since i am so close to 1k, i decided to use one of my oldest designs to mark the occasion. The majority of the corsarian air force is comprised of "Mini fighters." Tiny, cheap, and reliable are all the key components of this plane. The plane itself is what corsarian engineers call "the closest thing to a one ton rocket there is. Made to be as basic as possible, the high-tech avionics and cockpit are assembled elsewhere, while the entire plane is constructed before fitted to its engine. Weight saving is a must, so on takeoff, the rear wheels are ejected. Since it only has about five minutes of fuel, pilots are told to get as close as they can to the runway before initiating a high angled landing aproach. Failure to land on the rear will result in a cartwheel. As said before, the low price tag of the plane allows the corsarian Air Force to have over 4,500 in active service, with reserve aircraft and orders adding up to a total of nearly 8,000 aircraft
