The LLFX F-47 project for the HCSAF to produce a very cheap and easy to maintain basic fighter for second-line units is proceeding apace ahead of an expected 2112 entry into service the HCSAF have said. The LLFX design will be unveiled soon though the HCSAF did say it was a single-engined and subsonic design that would be "70% cheaper" than the legacy F-40s it will replace but still be suitable for the policing and general air command roles intended for it.
1000 LLFXs are expected to be built and will supply the air regiments on secondary planets in the empire as well as reserve units.
