The Fliegender Adler FA-57 (Flying eagle) is a stealth, single-seat, twin-engine multirole fifth-generation jet fighter being developed since 1676 for air superiority and attack operations. The aircraft was a product of the Amokolische Moter Werke. Since 1710 AN, the designs have been in the hands of Çakaristan Aeronautics Limited. This company has started the development of an updated version of the aircraft.
History
The first design was made in 1676 AN, but the increasing tensions that eventually led to the Second Amokolian War accelerated the design and production process. This acceleration was also criticized, for fear of design errors and too little training time for the pilots. Ultimately, the aircraft was not used in combat operations. It mainly served as an airspace patrol.
In the disaster year of 1685 AN, the produced devices, as well as the designs, were secured. The aircraft were parked in Gascony and came into Batavian hands after Gascony's transition to the Batavian flag. This was a public secret, which finally led to the downfall of Gisela Starck as Prime Minister. Under her government, a treaty was passed that included the transfer of these aircrafts to Çakaristan.
In the period between 1685 and 1704 AN it was assumed that the Arboric Republic of Barikalus had access to FA-57 aircraft, but this proved to be incorrect.
FA-57/ÇAL
In 1710 AN, development of an updated version of the device began. Under the name "FA-57/ÇAL" all kinds of improvements were worked on. As well as the integration of the weapon systems and configuration of Çakaristan.
