- 10 BDF/FB1 Fighter Bombers : Anarresian aircraft. The BDF/FB1 (Barter Defense Force/Fighter Bomber One) bears an uncanny resemblance to SU-34 fighter-bomber. With enhancements to the design that will allow it to perform functions such as taking off from land or ships and to both be a convincing fighter and bomber, while seating two pilots. Due to the fact that the BDF/FB1 was designed to be the sole aircraft for the Barter airforce, it was intended to be an 'ageless' design that could be updated easily. The BDF/FB1 is propelled by two specially designed ‘'TurboThrust' engines, again based heavily upon existing designs. The 'TurboThrust' engines have vectored thrust and allow the craft to cruise at 1,500mph and achieve a top speed of Mach 2.2. The BDF/FAB1 is a sleek aircraft with flowing lines and a compact body, ensuring greater than average wind resistance and light weight meaning higher than usually attainable performance for its type of craft. Has a range of 7,000 Kms.
- 12 AFD-9 WASPS : Adejaanian aircraft. Lightweight and agile, it does not contain a targeting pod. The AFD-9 (Adejaani Fighter Design Nine) Wasp was designed as a cheap lightweight fighter for cash strapped (or freshly started) air forces and while perhaps not as spectacular, it is cost effective and is adaptable for a wide range of uses.
- 137 F-4 Bird of Prey : An all-purpose fighter jet. Paladin Technologies (a joint effort by Nedalia, Falcania, and Lamoni first effort, and a very successful one.
