Description The "Wraith" is an air superiority single seat stealth fighter designed for aircraft carrier launch and recovery. For start and landing, slow flight and dogfighting, the wings are in forward position and the V-tail is folded upward, allowing for high lift, excellent manoeuvrability. For supersonic flight including supercruise, the wings are swept back and the V-tail is folded down, improving aerodynamics and further decreasing its radar signature. In this configuration, the F-40A is able to reach high speeds, burns less fuel and has better stealth features. As such, the aircraft fulfils the requirement for a dedicated anti-air carrier aircraft capable of extended Mach 2 supercruise and possessing an offensive fiber laser weapon system (LWS), advanced air to air missiles, artificial intelligence, embedded distributed sensor systems, and next generation stealth features.
