X-02 Wyvern



 X-02 Wyvern (Switchblade)



Description
The X-02 is truly an amazing aircraft. Made by the Erusean Air and Space Administration (EASA), the X-02 is the pinnicale of Erusian Aircraft Design. It's combines Stealth Technology, Forward Swept Inner Folding Swing Wings, Flattening Horizantal Vertical Stabilizers, 360 Degree Rotating Thrust Vectoring, multiple Weapons Bays and new Flight Systems which keeps this extremely unstable aircraft design, stable. Also, it's original configuration allowed it to operate from Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriers, making it's Combat Deployment Capabilities extremely high. It is officially known as the "Wyvern", but many pilots know it as the "Switchblade".

The X-02 was first seen and used by ISAF Forces against the Federal Erusean Armed Forces during the end of the Usean Continental War of 2003-2005. The ISAF had gained three models of the X-02, wether they were stolen, found or given to them is questionable. With no Official name, they were known as the "Switchblade". These Switchblades were often only flown by Mobius One, off of a Frontline Nimitz Aircraft Carrier.

After the war, the three Switchblades had been put through extensive and proper testing to measure the limits of their capabilities. An official name from the EASA was confirmed. Though the name "Switchblade" had stuck, it was officially known as the X-02 Wyvern. After multiple tests, ISAF HQ had believed that the X-02 was one of the most Combat Capable Aircraft to ever exsist.

In 2006, during the attack against the ISAF by "Free Erusea" Forces, the ISAF Ace of Aces, known as Mobius One, was engaged by multiple X-02 Wyvern (some reports say up to Six). These Wyverns were destroyed after an extended engagement, which resulted in much Actual Combat Data being gathered on the X-02.

The X-02 models were then Mass Produced, the first buyer was Osea, a neutral Usean Ally. In 2010, when Osea was thrown into war the X-02 Switchblades were deployed once again into combat. However, these models were not equipped for Naval Operations, and it's Weapons were limited, only allowing them to be fully effectve in Air-to-Air Combat and some what effective in Air-to-Ground Combat.

Aurelia would later deploy their own X-02 models during the Leasath-Aurelia War in 2020. These aircraft however, were operated off of Aircraft Carriers like the original models.
