GD-04 Death Header
Here's Death Header from the Raiden Fighters series.
Death Header was designed as a carrier-based fighter with STOL capability. Unfortunately, the Government's Navy was completely decimated in the first war against the Dictator's army, thereby halting the development of the Death Header. The project was nearly scrapped, until top squadron commanders expressed interest in STOL aircraft and blended wing designs.
I have no idea if this plane is actually STOL capable, but it does have the lowest take-off and landing speed out of all the recreations I built so far. Be aware that this plane likes to pitch up excessively at high speeds. I am rather fond of the Death Header, as it is the first airplane I've built that the AI can fly to clear many of the race courses.
