DASA JF-50 Adler

The BAe F9A Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine tech-9 fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter. The Beale Aerospace in Vandenberg is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the J.1. The BAe facility at Walnut Springs provides the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and all of the pilot and maintenance training systems.

Developed by the aircraft design team led by Frank Beale, the aircraft was designated XJ2000 during the years prior to formally entering Bexaran service in December 2009 as the BAe F9A Raptor. Despite a protracted and costly development period, the Bexar Military Forces considers the Raptor a critical component for the future of Bexaran tactical air power, and claims that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter, while Beale Aerospace claims that the Raptor's combination of stealth, speed, agility, precision and situational awareness, makes it the best overall fighter in the world today.
