The BAF273 is Emperor Boston's personal fighter jet. It is a modified version of the BAF272. The BAF273, naturally, has a higher amount of armour than the regular BAF272. This extra weight means that manouverability has had to be upgraded, however, the manouverability is only slightly better than that of the BAF272.

The 273, like all Bostopian fighters, is equipped with chaff systems, but also has radar cloaking devices.

The 273 also boasts improved ejection systems. If the plane is upside-down and the pilot needs to bail out, the floor of the plane will now open, and powerful hydraulics would pull the seat up and out of the plane in a matter of a split seconds. The seat of the plane would then automatically turn itself over, so the pilot is now 'the right way up', before the parachute finally opens. This process takes around 3 seconds, and a furthur 2 seconds before parachute opening.
