Eleu Defense Systems FA-24 "Archon"
FEATURED BOI
thnx everyone :)
The F-24 "Archon" Lead-In Fighter Trainer
A lightweight multirole fighter that can also act as an advanced trainer. The Archon ("Ruler" in Greek) is comparable to the South Korean T-50 Golden Eagle, both in design and role.
It has a conventional single-engine layout, with all moving horizontal stabilizers and leading edge slats. The cockpit can seat two people, with the instructor behind the trainee in training role. The aircraft has decent maneuverability and a top speed of 802 mph at 20,000 ft altitude. The Archon brings out the light in light fighter, having an empty weight of around 7000 lbs thanks to the use of lightweight materials.
For armament it has a 20mm rotary cannon mounted on the left side of the plane's nose and four underwing hardpoints are provided for addidtional weapons. A single hardpoint under the fuselage is available, mostly used to carry extra fuel or a targeting pod.
It can perform simple combat duties like counter insurgency operations or air defence. It is a very flexible plane and is well loved by its pilots.
It was developed and built by Eleu Defense Systems in 2018 as a trainer for the future pilots of FA-25 Viziers and other fighter jets.
