The M10-100 is a Fortis narrow-body airliner produced by Anderophl Fortiska Aeronautical at its Fedlithe factory in Fortis. The twin turboprop-fan engine liner was designed as an attempt at a cost-effective regional liner for the Baskay and Veiidic areas. AFA originally envisioned the AFA M10-100 as a turbojet, but went with a more cost-effective turboprop-fan after considering various Proole liner powerplants.

The design was prototyped in 2160, and saw first flight service with Hook Brznair in 2166. The liner has seen moderate success, but it failed to meet the design goal of being cost-effectiveness. Zokesian CWI W-2022 Comforjets have been routinely purchased instead, having longer range for a slightly decreased cost, and as a result, the Pondskipper is usually only purchased by companies either blacklisted by Zokesia, or for logistics purposes, as the turbopropfans are easier to maintain despite the increased maintenance cost.
