The Q-107 Grackle is a single-engine, multirole fighter jet developed by the Axdelian defence company ARMS. It was the first all-new combat aircraft developed domestically since the fall of the Noroist government, entering development in 1998. The aircraft had a troubled development, going far over it's initial budget due to several delays in development and allegations of embezzlement. Despite this, the plane is considered highly successful in what it aimed to be capable of, and has seen success in the export market. Since merging with Sentinel in 2017, the planes are now produced by Sentinel-ARMS. There are two variants, with the Q-107A taking off conventionally and the Q-107B having vectored thrust enabled V/STOL capability. A conventionally landing carrier variant ~~with larger wings~~, tentatively named Q-107C, was cancelled in 2007 due to the ~~aformentioned~~ budgetary overruns.

The Q-107 was named the Grackle in 2010, however it have since been given several nicknames by air forces fielding it, such as "Fat Pigeon" and "Smiler" based on its appearance, and "Gracc attacc" [''sic''] on social media.
