The Tenrai SF-1 is a 5.5 Generation Stealth fighter developed in Zalkent.
Development
The origins of the program trace back to 2173, when the government realized that the previous stealth aircraft fielded during this era was inadequate for the role of a stealth air superiority fighter due to its poor handling characteristics. Due to this, the Air Force commissioned TAAE to develop an alternative, which after much scrutiny led to the SF-1. With production beginning to ramp up in 2197, pilots who received the aircraft have nicknamed it the "Starship" due to its unique shape.
Operational History
Currently, the SF-1 has been deployed in both the Royal Zalkentian Air Corps (RZAC) and the Royal Zalkentian Fleet Air Force.
