The HCSAF's next fighter project, the F-47 or Light Local Fighter (LLFX), has had it's specification locked down. The F-47 will be designed for secondary planets and theatres in the CSE replacing ageing (and expensive to run) F-40s. The F-47 will be a single-engined, subsonic aircraft designed for ease of maintenance and high availability. It will be agile coupled to a decent avionics fit though it's major role will be light strike and sovereignty policing. Aircraft for CSE-E will have a more extensive avionics fit.
CAC have now been given the go ahead to proceed with building a prototype which is expected to be unveiled sometime next year. The HCSAF have placed a provisional order for 1000 aircraft to be delivered after 2112.
