Info

The DefCorps. submission to the LF-SAP-I. The XF-12 was designed for the Naval Air Force. With the intent for Aerial Superiority, it was designed to be both manoeuvreable and fast. But despite the intent for speed and being a few thousand kilogrammes below the maximum limit given in the program, it was still considered quite heavy for the AviaTech's provided SLA-11 Afterburning Engines, thus it was actually sluggish and slow. One of the reasons it was not chosen for the program.

The XF-13 was supposed to oppose the Beleit F6 in terms of aerial performance.
