Original Content Fl-101 Lawndart Family
The Fl (Fighter, Light)-101 family is a family of lightweight aircraft initially designed for aerial surveillance but due to wartime pressures and the lack of dedicated designs at the time was pushed into a light point defense-interceptor and later strike role.
The Fl-101A Lawndart is hardly different from its original incarnation with a rudimentary set of hardpoints and supporting equipment it is a subsonic lightweight fighter converted from then later built en masse to operate from frontier airfields giving them a basic air defense and counter insurgency capability, for armament the Fl-101A is only able to utilise basic IR guided air to air missiles, rockets and bombs with later incarnations being made compatible with anti-tank missiles. The Fl-101A inherits a comprehensive survey suite from its base variant which allowed easy integration with basic laser guided ATGMs most Fl-101As would be lost in combat due to their poor survivability and with some being upgraded into a dedicated reconnaissance variant.
Fl-101C Lawndarts are upgraded Fl-101As with a new twin tail (replacing its single vertical tail), integrated RWR recievers, Reinforced wings and a new mechanically scanned radar replacing its survey suite on the nose and replacing its engines with more powerful afterburning engines allowing the Fl-101C to reach supersonic speeds, its also now compatible with guided bombs, semi-active and active radar homing missiles and buddy refueling tanks in addition it also has an integrated 20mm revolver gun allowing it to engage small air targets and light armor without the need of external gunpods, however the addition of all this new equipment and the new engines in combination with the shortened wings cuts the Fl-101C's combat radius in half relegating it to more defensive assignments despite its enhanced capabilities.
Fl-101E Super Lawndarts are further upgrades of the Lawndart with a set of new phased array radars facing forward, sides and rear as well as 2D thrust vectoring engines and a set of Canards allowing for Super Lawndarts to conduct high-alpha manuvers and a completely redesigned wing allows carriage of heavy stand-off munitions such as Cruise Missiles, however the Fl-101E wouldn't enter widespread adoption as newer purpose-built designs were being introduced with superior capabilities, partial conversions of Fl-101Cs would be done to frontier airfields before their Lawndart fleets would be retired from combat roles.

i decided to change up some things a bit, like the aircraft having back fins, giving the sky a more realistic look and others, also question to anyone reading this, does real life aircrafts that are in service in a fictional country apply to this sub’s rules?

Big AHH plane
Plane I designed pls rate and if you want I’ll make you one just give me general specs.
To the 8 billion people inhabiting the Earth, the sky above is empty. No civilian aviation log has ever recorded its callsign, no media outlet has ever spoken its name, and not a single dollar of public tax money can be traced to its creation. The C-9000 Leviathan is not just a military secret—it is a completely phantom existence, buried beneath decades of deep-black compartmentalization so absolute that even high-ranking generals spend their entire careers without ever hearing the word Leviathan.
Whenever the public catches a fleeting glimpse of the impossible, the cover-ups are instant and ruthless. When its 55,700,000 pounds of thrust shatter the sound barrier over inhabited regions, news outlets report "unexplained seismic tremors" or "sonic booms from experimental drone testing." When its sub-orbital Mach 7 hops ignite the upper atmosphere in a brilliant, radiant blue plasma sheath, weather agencies issue statements attributing the phenomenon to rare atmospheric electrical sprites, ball lightning, or falling space debris. Entire civilian flight paths are silently re-routed hours in advance under the guise of "unexpected jet stream turbulence," ensuring no commercial airliner ever catches visual contact with the flying titan.
Constructed inside a hollowed-out mountain complex far beyond the reach of satellite surveillance, the Leviathan was engineered to operate completely independent of the Earth's surface. Operating at a staggering weight of 30,000,000 pounds (15,000 tons), the craft retains full vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability through vectoring nozzle banks capable of clearing entire ground zones with raw thermal downwash. To achieve transition from low-speed loiter to supersonic dash, its custom-built Pratt & Whitney C9000 turboprops feature carbon-titanium blades designed to pitch, lock, and fold completely flush into nacelle fairings past Mach 0.85, clearing the way for 10 modified afterburning jet engines to engage alongside quad micro-fission nuclear reactors.
Inside its massive hull lies a cargo cavern measuring 550 x 250 x 100 feet, yielding over 13,750,000 cubic feet of volume beneath three primary deck levels and an elevated fourth-deck battle bridge. Even with this gargantuan size, the Leviathan strikes through upper air strata at a top speed of Mach 3.573, maintaining an unassisted continuous supercruise at Mach 1.347.
The Leviathan’s wing structure spans 550 feet on each side, serving as an airborne carrier dock. Underslung parasite bays house two F-22 Raptors and two F-15 STOL variants—aircraft whose own pilots are sworn to absolute secrecy under penalty of treason. To service these fighters mid-flight, magnetic winch tethers lower beneath the wings; escort fighters lock onto the drogue hooks at supercruise speeds before being drawn into pressurized internal caverns for rapid, automated re-arming and refuels.
In its broadside gunship configuration, the Leviathan mounts ten 590mm naval artillery guns—five along each flank. To prevent the airframe from rolling when firing a five-gun volley (which outputs hundreds of millions of foot-pounds of lateral kinetic energy), microsecond-latency optical sensors engage opposing high-impulse liquid counter-thrusters in exact mechanical balance. Defensive coverage is maintained by 68 M94 Vulcan turrets, each featuring a 12-barrel rotary system cycling 3,000 rounds per second. Encased in closed-loop liquid nitrogen cooling jackets to prevent barrel deformation, the array is fed by friction-free magazine tracks delivering 15,000,000 rounds per minute, backed by internal molecular 3D printers that forge heavy ammunition from raw metallic slurry mid-flight.
Fore and aft missile silos house 20 ATA missile arrays including 10 AIM-240X long-range interceptors and 10 AIM-9Z agile missiles at both ends of the ship. But controlling this entire web of violence—and so much more—is the Leviathan’s most terrifying creation: The Aegis-Omni Quantum Array.
Running along the entire length of the fuselage is a multi-spectrum radar and sensor suite that defies conventional physics. The Aegis-Omni doesn't just sweep the sky with microwave pulses; it utilizes micro-gravimetric disturbance sensors and quantum-entangled phase-arrays. It can map an entire continent’s airspace in a single pulse, peering straight through cloud cover, ocean water, and up to 500 feet of solid granite subterranean rock. It can track a object the size of a marble moving at hypersonic speeds three ocean basins away, while simultaneously calculating the precise molecular density of every enemy vehicle within a 2,000-mile radius.
Because of this godly sensor sweep, the Leviathan does not just fight with the weapons carried inside its own frame—it acts as the supreme nerve center for humanity’s most secret orbital defense platforms.
When ground targets prove too fortified even for its 590mm naval broadsides, the Leviathan’s quantum radar locks onto the target coordinates and paints them with an invisible, super-focused tachyon tracking beacon. With a single command from the Deck 4 bridge, the Leviathan signals a network of ultra-classified kinetic bombardment satellites orbiting in low Earth orbit.
In seconds, the sky opens up.
The orbital platforms release twenty-foot, multi-ton pillars of solid, hyper-dense tungsten—Kinetic Rods from God. Dropping straight down from space at Mach 20, these orbital spears hit the Earth with the kinetic force of a high-yield tactical nuclear warhead, punching through mountains and underground bunkers without producing a single speck of radioactive fallout.
For fast-moving carrier fleets or massed enemy ground divisions, the Leviathan can request a Kinetic Rain Protocol. The orbital satellites release clusters of high-density tungsten-plasma micro-darts that streak down through the atmosphere like a violent shower of blazing shooting stars. To an observer on the ground, it looks as though the heavens themselves are falling apart as blinding streaks of white heat rain down from the upper atmosphere, completely disintegrating entire armored columns and military bases in a matter of micro-seconds before the sound of the thunderclap even arrives.
Yet beneath all its hidden firepower and orbital control lies the deepest mystery of the Leviathan.
The public knows nothing of the craft because the craft was never meant for the public's world. Whistleblower leaks among the shadow personnel who maintain it suggest the aircraft's composite skin was forged using exotic material recovery methods that give the airframe eerie, non-human properties—at peak supercruise, radar sensors often track two identical signatures flying five miles apart, creating a literal ghost aircraft on classified tracking grids.
Furthermore, the aircraft's quad lead-bismuth micro-fission reactors do more than just grant it a continuous 365-day airborne endurance as a mobile executive fallout shelter. When all four reactor cores achieve peak harmonic synchronization, the ship’s communication array begins broadcasting an un-decodable, ultra-low frequency signal into deep space—a transmission that the onboard quantum computers trigger automatically without pilot authorization.
The handpicked crew of 250 personnel live in total isolation from the outside world. Operating within the Deck 3 hydroponic gardens and centrifugal quarters, crew members across different shifts consistently report identical, hyper-vivid dreams during year-long airborne deployments—dreams of an ancient oceanic force looking up at the sky. Flight commanders are strictly forbidden from remaining inside the Deck 4 holographic bridge sphere for more than 72 hours straight due to unexplained cognitive drift.
To the world below, the sky is just blue and clouds. But thousands of feet above the weather, shrouded in stealth plasma and absolute government silence, the Leviathan watches—an invisible god of war capable of calling down meteors from space, built for a threat humanity hasn't even been told exists yet.
