Thames F-1 Raven

The Thames F-1 is a fighter aircraft in use by the armed forces of J Andres. It was developed by Thames Rotorcraft shortly after the corporation split off from its parent, Annan Enterprises. The F-1 is manufactured in the city of Rossingol.

Prior to the development of the F-1, Thames Rotorcraft produced only helicopters. The F-1 is the first traditional aircraft developed by Thames Rotorcraft. After a successful test flight in 2058, Minister of War and Defense Anton Rasmussen grated Thames Rotorcraft a contract to build.
