ADF-01 FALKEN

The ADF-01 FALKEN (ADF-01 ファルケン Faruken) was a limited-production combat aircraft manufactured by the Belkan firm Gründer Industries.

One of the most recurrent original aircraft in the Ace Combat series, it has been featured in most games of the franchise since Ace Combat 2.

History
In the early 1970s, the Belkan Council of Military Affairs began development of a new combat aircraft codenamed Project Pendragon, made up of one primary and several secondary projects. One of those secondary projects was Project Adafex, an acronym of the ADFX designation for the fighter aircraft that was the project's focus.

In the years following the Northern Sect Wars (1756-1919), a united Belkan Hegemony realized the damage caused by the internal disputes and the need for new technologies and implimeantaion methods. By 1965, most of the intersectal disagreements had been worked out, and work was started on drawing up a new national defense policy.
