Dastin Aerospace | A-14S Super Stratos | Air Superiority Fighter
“Battles are won by those who fail to hesitate,
By those whose arrows fly first, furthest, fastest.”
Captain Tamrat “Miracle” Sisay
Presenting the Rebuild of the century!!!!! (not really).
The A-14S (or WF-19) is about as A-14 as the A-16. Besides sharing a name these two platforms couldn’t be any more different. The A-14S was a total family rebrand for the A-14, whose earlier variants had served purely as high speed interceptors with limited dogfighting capability.
The A-14S was built By Dastin Aerospace while all other A-14’s were built by Dejen Aviation due to the acquisition of the design and company during a lop-sided merger. Dastin Aerospace, who worked on the SA-23 concept in direct competition with the government sponsored project-22 were considered the best in field to develop the concept. After a two year design period, the first prototype took off from the Royal Test Facility X-Major, piloted by Captain Tamrat; the Ace of Winolian’s famous Spectre Squadron.
The A-14S is different. With an improved airframe and aerodynamic design lacking its previously limiting canards, the A-14S is a pure air superiority fighter capable of taking on anything in the skiles. In reality the A-14S is not an upgrade but a whole different craft (it borrows this concept from the flanker family). The A-14S would completely replace all A-14 variants and serve as the prime air superiority fighter for the Winolian Royal Air Force although its size, weight and design constraints would see that it never served off carriers.
It’s electronics and avionics are based on data developed from the SA-23 project. It’s radar, in particular, is a version of the SA-23’s ZX-33-A1 AESA Qadar. Like the SA-23 it features Taktix-3 integration, allowing it to efficiently manage multiple battle spaces and engage several targets. Along with its DAS, FLIR and expansive ECM suite, the A-14S is one of the best fighters in the world. A proposed K variant is powered by a pair of 2D thrust vectoring engines. However the craft is so manouverable that it doesn’t require them.
