F-27 Haste Fighter
The F-27 Haste is an air-superiority fighter designed to counter/ replace the F-22 Raptor. It features a higher weapons capacity and top speed, although the IR signature is higher than the F-22, it is just as stealthy on radar. Forward swept outer wings, all-moving tailplanes and forward canards provide extreme control an maneuverability. Also the thrust nozzles feature vectoring panels with full up-down vector angles and partial left-right vector angle. The F-27 is also capable of super-cruise (mach 1.5 w/o engaging afterburners).

FU-29K Scorpion Unmanned Aerial Combat Vehicle
The FU-29K Scorpion, Lovingly referred to as the "Smart FUK" by its operators, is a remotely piloted fully-featured UCAV that has been designed for the air-to-air role. Based on the Grumman X-29, it is extremely maneuverable and uses many advanced systems including all-moving canards,a four way thrust vectoring cowling mounted on the afterburner, wing warping "flapilerons" (uses wing-twisting instead of ailerons)and a vortex air-flow control system in the nose allowing more controllable supersonic turns and up to a 45 degree angle of attack.
Also the airframe has been hardened to allow up to 15G turns and ACM(Aerial Combat Maneuvers). Since there is no pilot onboard, turns over 9G, the current human limit, are possible giving this aircraft the distinct advantage over any human piloted aircraft.The aircraft also has in-flight re-fuel capability.
The FU-29K is piloted by an operator (in our air force usually disabled veteran pilots or specially trained flight students) in a small flight simulator(can a fit a few in a trailer) with wrap-around video screen, a HUD and 4 Head-Down displays, simple flight and weapons controls and hydraulic lifts in the seat to allow intuitive pilot response. The control units can be placed anywhere and if you have satellites,they can be operated anywhere in the world. The control units are included in the price of the aircraft.

:idea: F-31X Cyclone Interceptor
The F-31X, based on the X-31 Technology demonstrator is an extremely maneuverable fighter, virtually unsurpassed in agility. The F-31X uses a new 4 panel thrust vectoring actuator and the same wing-twisting technology as the FU-29K Scorpion. The F-31X Cyclone achieved controlled flight and controlled roll around it's velocity vector at a 70 degree angle of attack, All at supersonic speeds. It also uses a system called a Helmet Mounted Visual/Audio Display (HMVAD). The HMVAD provides out-of-the-cockpit situational awareness and a simulated helmet-mounted sight to the pilot during high angle of attack combat maneuvering (where a normal HUD would be useless) It does not feature any stealth technology, however the tailless version (tail easily can be de-tached, sacrificing stability only not maneuverability), has a radar cross-section that is significantly less than that of a similar sized plane, increasing the time before it would show up on radar.

F-420B Smoke Fighter
The F-420B Smoke is an upgrade of the original F-420 fighter. It has been improved in several areas, notably the avionics, engines and overall aerodynamics. Like the original, it is coated with a special stealth coating,and the F-420B appears to be much smaller on radar than it actually is, giving it an advantage in combat. The forward canards and advanced 4-way thrust vectoring engines make it an excellent dogfighter. It has a weapons bay which holds 6 AMRAAMS or 3 JDAM bombs. Carrying weapons in the bay increases stealth, but it can also hold 4 Sidewinders on the wings and 4 Phoenix missiles under the engines, a top of the line phased array radar has been included to target the Phoenix missiles. The Smoke is available in a carrier capable version(F-420C) and can be refueled by the hose and drogue method or the flying boom method while in flight. It features carbide armor around the crew compartment and an ACES 7 ejection seat.

The F-421 Hermes Interceptor is a high-speed, low-drag sleek and smart killing machine! The Hermes features 2 turboramjet engines, based on a heavily modified F-27 style engine. The F-421 is much lighter than the F-27 though. The F-421 is capable of super-cruise on its jet engines but it is also capable of faster than Mach 3 speeds on full afterburner and with its rocket booster engaged. The Hermes is an extremely capable fighter for its size and speed. Its all-moving canards provide extreme control an maneuverability at high speed. Partial thrust-vectoring on all 3 engines increase controllability at high speed and also aide in low-speed maneuverability.
