Overview

The Kalayaan Heavy Industries KHF-14 Swift Owl is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat multirole strike fighter aircraft developed by the Kalayaan Heavy Industries. Known for its high speed and maneuverability, the Swift Owl was built as part of the Tactical Aircraft Development Phase 2, and served as a replacement for the older MaF-18 Centurions, as well as being a complimentary aircraft to the MaF-12 Sky Eagles.

Stemming from the concept of the new Gen-4++ fighter, the aircraft was initially designed with the air-to-air capabilities and the mantra "Not a pound for air to ground." However, subsequent test flights have proven the design's flexibility and capabilities for multirole tasks, which makes the aircraft a booster to the Maharlikan Air Force's arsenal. Armed with a powerful radar and state-of-the-art systems along with its speed, maneuverability and weapons capacity, the KHF-14 is capable of various roles such as reconnaissance, fleet defense, SEAD, air superiority, interception, and attack.

Notes

I'm back, and here we go with another F-15 rip-off!

And yes, this is based on the F-15E with the rear being a combination of other designs. And this is the first creation of mine in 2022 and in version 1.11. There might be some bugs which can be pretty much fixable, so feel free to fine-tune it before flying.

Credits to nafeij for the target-tracking camera, and to Doomnolymo for the radar screen(integrated into the large screen, actually). I also want to give special thanks to JS01 for the flight model tuning and Bernkastel for the critiques and flight tests.

P.S. Different versions will come soon, so stay tuned! 😁

Any updoots are appreciated. 😁

Happy Flying, Boiis!
