FIGHTER

-----------------------

Royal Aircraft Factory S.V Challenger

- Crew : 1

- Length : 6,38 m

- Wingspan : 8,10 m upper and lower

- Chord : 1,52 m upper and lower

- Height : 2,90 m

- Weight : 640 kg empty; 878 gross; 902 kg max takeoff

- Powerplant : 1 × water-cooled V8 engine, 150 hp (110 kW)

- Propellers : 2-bladed fixed pitch wooden propeller, 2,36 m diameter

- Maximum speed : 222 km/h

- Range : 480 km

- Service ceiling : 5.200 m

- Armament :

   - 1 × 7,7 mm forward-firing heavy machine gun with synchronization gear

   - 1 × 7,7 mm light machine gun on Foster mounting on upper wing

   - 4 × 11 kg bombs, two under each lower wing

A Muish biplane fighter aircraft and the mainstay of its air force.

In terms of speed, rate of climb, and maximum ceiling, it is superior to the wyvern, while its maneuverability is somewhat comparable. It is also relatively stable and easy to fly, enabling pilots to fire their nose-mounted guns accurately. The Challenger has considerable structural strength, capable of withstanding high-G maneuvers and is relatively resistant to battle damage. However, since it has a wooden frame construction, the Challenger is vulnerable to the fireballs, which is the primary method of attack of their potential enemy.

ATTACKER

-----------------------

Leclerc BT.1 Glacier

- Crew : 1

- Length : 8,69 m

- Wingspan : 14,25 m

- Height : 3,25 m

- Weight : 997 kg empty; 1.761 kg gross

- Powerplant : 1 × water-cooled V8 engine, 200 hp (150 kW)

- Propellers : 2-bladed fixed-pitch propeller

- Maximum speed : 169,8 km/h

- Range : 539 km

- Service ceiling : 3.700 m

- Armament :

- 1 × 450 mm torpedo

A Muish carrier-based biplane torpedo bomber, first flew on Month 6 Year 1613 and introduced one year later. It is a result of the requirement by the Admiralty's Air Department for a single-seat aircraft capable of carrying a 450 kg torpedo and sufficient fuel to provide an endurance of four hours.

Because the BT.1 is designed to operate from carrier decks, its wings are hinged to fold backwards. A split-axle undercarriage allowed the aircraft to carry a 453 kg torpedo beneath its fuselage. In service, the BT.1 is generally popular with pilots because the airframe is strong and water landings are safe. It is known to be easy to control and is fully aerobatic without a torpedo payload.
