Trinity Aerospace XF-01 Peregrine
Multirole stealth VTOL fighter.
An extremely high speed stealth aircraft developed by Trinity Aerospace Industries, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 10, given the right configurations. Since this craft is flying at an absurdly high speed, the gravitational forces exerted on the operator would be too much for him or her to handle.
To that end, most of the internal systems are dedicated to life support, limiting ammunition storage and increasing energy usage. Even so, regular pilots must undergo special treatments and procedures (as well as daily maintenance) prior to receiving special permission to use this aircraft.
Because of this, not many XF-01's were purchased, and of those purchased, not many have been sent out in the field, mainly because of the high costs and high risks involved in using the aircraft.
However, it did start to gain popularity, and a few years later, it has seen much use from UN-affiliated countries, and the USAF. It also holds the Guinness World Record for being the fastest aircraft in existence, formerly held by the SR-71 Blackbird.
The USAF and UN designated the XF-01 as the FA-51 Hummingbird, due to its sharp nose and rather sleek design, but Canadian owned XF-01 fighters were designated as the C-51 Pronghorn.
The radar spike on the front of the aircraft has a bad tendency of skewering birds while in flight. While it does not damage the aircraft that much, it does provide some wildlife-unfriendly operators with an after-mission snack with a roadkill twist.
(Will be considering to add an ADMM module and the Tactical Maser Array in a future edit.)
