Info: The Hyperion Corporation HCMF-41 “Luciérnaga” 5.5 Generation Multirole/Strike Fighter stands as the vanguard of the United Coalition of South America’s (UCSA) aerial dominance. This advanced combat aircraft extends the capabilities of the traditional fifth-generation fighter by integrating cutting-edge developments in stealth technology, avionics, and electronic warfare systems, placing it firmly in the 5.5 generation category. The "Luciérnaga" spans 19.5 meters in length, with a wingspan of 13.8 meters and a height of 4.7 meters. Its airfoil is crafted from an advanced composite material optimized for both stealth and high performance. A noteworthy feature of this aircraft is its forward-swept wings, which greatly enhance climb rates and maneuverability. The aircraft is powered by two advanced vectoring thrust turbofan engines, enabling it to achieve a maximum speed of Mach 2.3, a service ceiling of 70,000 ft, and a combat range of 1,200 miles. The HCMF-41 is armed with a versatile array of weapons, suitable for a variety of combat scenarios. Each variant of the "Luciérnaga" features a 25mm GAU-22/C shrapnel rotary cannon and an array of other armaments including cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, and a combination of free-fall bombs and specialized munitions for both air-to-ground and anti-submarine warfare. With a tech level at Tier IX, the "Luciérnaga" integrates systems for network-centric warfare, essential for modern combat. Its avionics suite includes AESA radar, helmet-mounted targeting, multi-spectral sensors for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), along with advanced electronic warfare systems, stealth communication capabilities, and AI-assisted decision-making tools. The HCMF-41 comes in several variants to accommodate the diverse needs of UCSA and its allied nations: HCMF-41A, the airfield-launched variant, optimized for traditional runways. HCMF-41B, a maritime-strike variant, with modifications for over-sea operations. HCMF-41C, designed for carrier operations with enhanced deck handling and landing systems. HCMF-41D, a STOVL variant for operations from shorter fields and potentially unprepared surfaces. Each variant has been tailored for rapid modifications to adapt to various mission profiles, from air superiority battles to deep strike missions, making the "Luciérnaga" a cornerstone of UCSA's defensive and offensive strategy. The advanced technology, combined with multirole adaptability, positions the HCMF-41 as a key asset in maintaining aerial dominance and multi-domain operations, while its export models serve to strengthen the tactical capabilities of allied nations such as the Oceania Republic and the Commonwealth of Germany.

Notes:
I also took and based my Generation 5.5 Multi-Launched Multirole/Strike Fighter off Riftvanguard24's Original (Fighter Jet of the same name) design, but made some improvements on the weapons & aspects of the design.
I would like to give credit to Helge129 (NF-47 “Firefly”) for inspiring me to design this Multirole/Strike Fighter
Please note that this is a repost of one of the (HCMF-41 Luciernaga Strike/Multirole Fighter) that I did in the past, but I decided to make some updates to the information, arsenal, stats, etc for this Multirole/Strike Fighter
Please note that this is currently a work in progress, which means it will be worked on in the near future.
