F-674 “Skyrend” — Light Multirole Delta Fighter
The F-674 is a compact, aggressive light fighter built around the philosophy that control beats power. Designed with a sharply swept delta wing and oversized forward canards, the aircraft trades raw top speed for extreme agility. At medium altitude it almost “floats” in the air — able to pivot its nose faster than most heavier fighters can even roll.
The wide bubble canopy gives the pilot near-perfect visibility, encouraging close-range engagements and precision maneuvering rather than long-distance missile dependence. Pilots often describe flying it less like piloting a machine and more like wearing a suit with wings.
Twin primary engines sit close together inside the fuselage to reduce drag and protect them from damage during high-angle maneuvers. The intake placement feeds stable airflow even during near-stall turns, allowing the aircraft to maintain control in situations where most fighters would spin out.
Because of this, the F-674 excels in:
- dogfighting
- terrain hugging
- sudden reversals
- defensive counter-maneuvers
Instead of overpowering opponents, it outthinks them in the air.
Origin
The F-674 was born after several air forces realized modern fighters were becoming too heavy, too dependent on electronics, and too predictable in close combat. Engineers wanted a plane that could survive when sensors failed — a pilot’s aircraft.
The project started as a rejected prototype meant only for training aggressive maneuvering tactics. During early flight trials, test pilots discovered it could consistently outmaneuver larger frontline fighters in simulated engagements. Rather than cancel it, the development team secretly refined the airframe, tightening its control authority and strengthening the wing roots to tolerate extreme G-forces.
After a demonstration where the aircraft defeated three heavier interceptors in under two minutes of mock combat, it was approved for limited production as a specialized superiority fighter.
