The Q-107 Grackle is a single-engined, multirole fighter jet developed by the Axdelian defense company ARMS. It was the first all-new combat aircraft developed domestically since the fall of the Noroist government. The aircraft had a troubled development, going far over it's initial development budget and suffering heavily from feature creep. 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 V/STOL capability thanks to vectored thrusters.
Development
(ARMS, an independent union-run arms company, runs out of money developing this thing and has to get bailed out by the even bigger Sentinel with a fat cheque from the government for good luck)
(This is partially because they were corrupt as hell and banking on being bailed out as an important supplier of military materiel, and thus blatantly overspent)
Operators
- Axdelian Aerospace Force - 245 Q-107A of 250 originally delivered from 2012 (5 were lost in the ACW), with an additional 52 contracted to replace the Q-103ES by 2026
- Axdelian Navy - 72 Q-107B's to operate on the Khalanitas class carriers alongside the Q-104EQS
- Royal Cryrian Air Force - 20 Q-107A's delivered in 2018
- Quarii Air Force - 48 Q-107A's delivered from 2015
- Oscrelian Air Force - 50 Q-107A's delivered from 2014
- Royal Tavari Air Force - 34 Q-107A delivered from 2017
- Rotal Tavari Navy - 16 Q-107B's to operate on their Blade of Storm class carriers.
