The LLFX F-47 the "Light Local Fighter" has been unveiled by CAC ahead of an expected first flight next month. The curiously old fashioned F-47 is a subsonic single-engined jet fighter designed purely for secondary worlds in the Clone Star Empire. It will replace 1000 F-40s on general patrol and policing duties saving the HCS an estimated 800 million zarks a year in lower flying costs and cheaper maintenance.
"Of course the F-47 cannot really take on a modern combat fighter like the F-45 or even the DDS Shark but its not supposed to." Sleeze said at the unveiling, "It is a very low-cost recapitalisation of our back-up fighter fleet providing an important support role."
