The X-02 Wyvern is a concept-fighter aircraft in development for the Asgarnian Air Force. It is an X-Series of aircraft, meaning it is Experimental. The X-02 Wyvern is a large, twin-engine single-seat fighter/interceptor incorporating the best aspects of nearly every 5th generation fighter. Components and sections of the aircraft bear striking similarities to diverse sources as the Su-47 Berkut (canards), YF-23 (tail configuration), F-22 Raptor (Nose/fuselage stealth design) and Su-37 Terminator (engines). The wing design of the X-02 is a unique "W" shape. It consists of traditional rearward-swept wings with smaller forward-swept portions at the wings' edge. The aircraft has canards and rear ruddervators; two angled wing sections instead of a conventional control surfaces. The X-02 also features 3-D thrust vectoring for added mobility.

Armament

The X-02 has a 35mm Cannon mounted in the fuselage, and fires at around 700 Rounds Per Minute. It also has provisions for up to 13,000 Pounds in the internal storage bay. It is also able to equip the following:

  • Rocket Pods (At a comprimise of stealth capabilities)
  • AIM-9X Missiles
  • Napalm
  • Self-Forging Fragmentation Bombs
  • Fuel-Air Explosives
  • NB-302 Nuclear Bombs
  • Bomblett Disperser
  • Mine Launcher (At a comprimise of stealth capabilities)
  • ECM Pod (At a comprimise of stealth capabilities)

Stealth

The X-02 uses state-of-the-art stealth technology. It incorporates non-right angles on the aircraft, as well as a thermal supressor over the engines. It is coated in a thick layer of Radar Absorbent Material, that eliminates most other radar signatures. It also incorporates very quiet engines to reduce noise pollution and to prevent its engine noise from giving its position away.
