F-27 Haste
F-27 Haste
The F-27 Haste is an air-superiority fighter that was designed to replace, or counter the F/A-22 Raptor and other ATF designs. It features a higher weapons capacity and top speed than the F-22, and although the IR signature is higher , it is just as stealthy on radar. Forward swept outer wings, all-moving tailplanes and forward canards provide extreme control and maneuverability in dog fights. Also the engine exhaust nozzles feature thrust vectoring panels with full up-down vector angles and partial left-right vector angle. The F-27 is also capable of super-cruise speed,Mach 1.5 without engaging afterburners.
