[[File:X-02 Wyvern Blueprints.jpg|thumb|250px|The X-02's blueprints]]
The X-02 Wyvern is an experimental fighter with a striking appearance. The aircraft incorporates an uncommon design with variable geometry technology with a forward-swept wing configuration. As the aircraft gains speed, the wings and vertical stabilizers fold inward to reduce air drag, and retract to their neutral position once it slows down. This unconventional design grants it an extreme degree of mobility, and the folded wings add a degree of stealth;{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}} however, this comes at a cost to the aircraft's armor, which is scaled back to provide such mobility.

The X-02 Wyvern incorporates an uncommon design with variable geometry technology and a forward-swept wing configuration. As the aircraft gains speed, the forward-swept wings and vertical stabilizers fold inward and downward respectively to reduce air drag, and retract to their neutral position once it slows down. This unconventional design grants it an extreme degree of mobility and the folded wings add a degree of stealth.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}} However, this comes at a cost to the aircraft's armor (which is scaled back to provide such mobility) as well as its fuel capacity.{{Ref|AC5-TPG-228|''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Perfect Guide]]'', page 228.}} The aircraft is carrier-capable, though is equally capable of taking off from standard airfields.
   
The X-02 incorporates a weapons bay between the intakes on the underside of the aircraft. This weapons bay is capable of carrying all kinds of special weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and various bomblet dispensers. The aircraft's standard missiles are launched from downwards retractable holders located on the undersides of each intake. The X-02 is powered by two tri-dimensional thrust vectoring ERG-1000 engines,{{Ref|AAW057|''[[Aces At War: A History]]'', page 057.}} which provide the aircraft with the ability of Mach 2.5 flight.

====Conception====
In the 1980s, the [[Federal Erusian Navy]] began to draw up concept plans for the development of a new combat aircraft. Sometime afterward, the [[Federal Erusea Air Force]] requested a new fighter aircraft. In response, [[Erusea]]'s military decided to modify the Navy's new concept aircraft to also perform fighter duties for the Air Force.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}

Preliminary blueprints of the new aircraft, known as the "X-02A", were completed on January 22, 1987.{{Ref|AAW-Timeline|''[[Aces At War: A History]]'', pages 134-137.}}{{Ref|Blueprints|[[:File:X-02 Wyvern Blueprints.jpg]].}} Erusea's weapons arsenal primarily came from its neighboring countries, so their designs had an indirect influence on the X-02A's design.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}{{Refcall|AAW059}}

====Development====
Over the next 10 years, the X-02A's development had grind to a halt for reasons unknown. After the existence of the [[Ulysses 1994XF04]] asteroid was announced, Erusea—along with most other [[Usea|Usean]] countries—was solely focused on developing the [[Stonehenge Turret Network]]. Erusea would not return to the X-02A project until June 1998, after Stonehenge's completion. At that point, the EASA began development of the aircraft, now known as the X-02 Wyvern.{{Refcall|AAW-Timeline}}

Development continued until the start of the [[Second Usean Continental War]] in 2003. Erusea planned to use the X-02s for the defending squadron of the captured Stonehenge network, but opposition groups questioned its large development costs when compared to proven conventional aircraft. Development was halted as the controversies went on.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}{{Refcall|AAW057}}

The X-02's development was hastily restarted after Stonehenge fell in April 2005, but it was hampered by a lack of funding and supplies due to the war.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}{{Refcall|AAW057}} Due to the X-02's unique variable geometry, the [[Independent State Allied Forces|ISAF]] received rumors that Erusea was developing two different aircraft.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}{{Ref|AAW059|''[[Aces At War: A History]]'', page 059.}}

By September 2005, the EASA had gotten extremely close to completing an X-02 unit. However, before they could finalize it, ISAF captured [[Farbanti|Erusea's capital]] and ended the war, preventing the X-02 from being used to defend the capital.{{Refcall|AC04WebArchiveX-02}}{{Refcall|AAW057}} The country continued development regardless, and within one year, at least four and at most six X-02 units were successfully completed. These units were equipped with an experimental UCAV configuration.{{Ref|Katina|[[Operation Katina]], ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]'' [[Arcade Mode]].}}

In September 2006, the UCAV X-02s were stolen by [[Free Erusea]] during their [[Operation Katina|continental uprising]]. They were used as a last resort during [[Mobius 1]]'s attack on Free Erusea's base, a [[White Valley (location)|White Valley]] arms factory, but they were destroyed by the ace pilot. The X-02s were recovered by the ISAF for research.{{Refcall|Katina}}

Sometime over the next four years, Erusea established trade relations with [[Yuktobania]], securing a deal whereby Yuktobania would receive an unspecified number of X-02s with [[Gründer Industries]] as a middleman.{{Ref|YukeX-02Wreck|[[:File:Sand Island Wyvern Artwork.png]].}} Gründer would subject the X-02 to their cost-cutting development techniques.{{Ref|AC5-S16|Scene 16, ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}} At some point during the [[Circum-Pacific War]], a Yuktobanian X-02 was shot down over [[Osea]]n territory, and its remains were eventually handled by the mechanics at [[Sand Island Air Force Base|Sand Island]].{{Refcall|YukeX-02Wreck}}{{Refcall|AC5-S16}}

Under unknown circumstances, the [[Federation of Central Usea]] recovered the X-02's design blueprints. They produced a small number of test units of the aircraft, which caught the attention of international corporations.{{Ref|AC5-TPG-229|''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Perfect Guide]]'', page 229.}}{{Ref|ACX-TCG-208|''[[Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception - The Complete Guide]]'', page 208.}} One such company was [[Gründer Industries]], who also produced at least one X-02 using their cost-cutting development techniques. This X-02 was sent to the [[Yuktobanian Air Force]],{{Ref|YukeX-02Wreck|[[:File:Sand Island Wyvern Artwork.png]].}} but it was later shot down over [[Osea]]n territory. The pilot managed to eject.{{Ref|AC5-TPG-261|''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Perfect Guide]]'', page 261.}} The aircraft's remains were handed to the mechanics at [[Sand Island Air Force Base]].{{Ref|AC5-S16|Scene 16, ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}}
   
A year after the Circum-Pacific War ended, an X-02 flew alongside an [[ADF-01 FALKEN]] and an [[ADFX-01 Morgan]] flew over [[November City|November International Stadium]] in its first airshow since the war.{{Ref|AAW-008|''[[Aces At War: A History]]'', page 008.}}

Revision as of 08:48, 5 February 2020

"...we were also able to obtain data on Erusea's unmanned fighter aircraft, which has long been veiled in secrecy."
Mobius 1's commander following Operation Katina

The X-02 Wyvern,[a] also known as the X-02A, is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft developed by the Erusean Air and Space Administration. Its striking design is most notable for its variable geometry wings, which fold in at high speeds.

The X-02 is an iconic fictional aircraft in the Ace Combat series, debuting in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies and making various appearances since. Its last appearance in Ace Combat Infinity marked the X-02's first console appearance in nearly a decade.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown introduced the X-02S Strike Wyvern as the first variant of the X-02.

Design

X-02 Wyvern Blueprints

The X-02's blueprints

The X-02 Wyvern incorporates an uncommon design with variable geometry technology and a forward-swept wing configuration. As the aircraft gains speed, the forward-swept wings and vertical stabilizers fold inward and downward respectively to reduce air drag, and retract to their neutral position once it slows down. This unconventional design grants it an extreme degree of mobility and the folded wings add a degree of stealth.[2] However, this comes at a cost to the aircraft's armor (which is scaled back to provide such mobility) as well as its fuel capacity.[3] The aircraft is carrier-capable, though is equally capable of taking off from standard airfields.

The X-02 incorporates a weapons bay between the intakes on the underside of the aircraft. This weapons bay is capable of carrying all kinds of special weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and various bomblet dispensers. The aircraft's standard missiles are launched from downwards retractable holders located on the undersides of each intake. The X-02 is powered by two tri-dimensional thrust vectoring ERG-1000 engines.

The aircraft's specifications are as follows:[2][4]

  • Length: 21.84 m (71.65 ft)
  • Wingspan
    • Outer wings deployed: 18.3 m (60.04 ft)
    • Outer wings stowed: 11.54 m (37.86 ft)
  • Height
    • Outer wings deployed: 4.36 m (14.30 ft)
    • Outer wings stowed: 3.42 m (11.22 ft)
  • Weight: 16,800 kg (37,000 pounds)
  • Engines: 2× ERG-1000[4]
  • Combat radius: 1,050 km (650 miles)
  • Top speed: Mach 2.5 (3,063 km/h; 1,903 mph; 1,654 kn)

History

Strangereal

Conception

In the 1980s, the Erusean Navy began to draw up concept plans for the development of a new combat aircraft. Sometime afterward, the Federal Erusea Air Force requested a new fighter aircraft. In response, Erusea's military decided to modify the Navy's new concept aircraft to also perform fighter duties for the Air Force.[2]

Preliminary blueprints of the new aircraft, known as the "X-02A", were completed on January 22, 1987.[5][6] Erusea's weapons arsenal primarily came from its neighboring countries, so their designs had an indirect influence on the X-02A's design.[2][7]

Development

Over the next 10 years, the X-02A's development had ground to a halt for reasons unknown. After the existence of the Ulysses 1994XF04 asteroid was announced, Erusea—along with most other Usean countries—was solely focused on developing Stonehenge. Erusea would not return to the X-02A project until June 1998, after Stonehenge's completion. At that point, the EASA began development of the aircraft, now known as the X-02 Wyvern.[5]

Development continued until the start of the Continental War in 2003. Erusea planned to use the X-02s for the defending squadron of the captured Stonehenge network, but opposition groups questioned its large development costs when compared to proven conventional aircraft. Development was halted as the controversies went on.[2][4]

The X-02's development was hastily restarted after Stonehenge fell in April 2005, but it was hampered by a lack of funding and supplies due to the war.[2][4] Due to the X-02's unique variable geometry, the Independent State Allied Forces believed that Erusea was developing two different aircraft that were competing with each other.[2][7]

The X-02 was nearly set to enter production by September 2005, but ISAF captured Erusea's capital and ended the war, preventing the aircraft from being used to defend the capital.[2][4] The country continued development regardless, and within one year, at least four and at most six X-02 units were successfully completed. These units were equipped with an experimental UCAV configuration.[8]

Postwar development

In September 2006, the UCAV X-02s were stolen by Free Erusea during their continental uprising. They were used as a last resort during Mobius 1's attack on Free Erusea's base, a White Valley arms factory, but they were destroyed by the ace pilot.[8]

Under unknown circumstances, the Federation of Central Usea recovered the X-02's design blueprints. They produced a small number of test units of the aircraft, which caught the attention of international corporations.[9][10] One such company was Gründer Industries, who also produced at least one X-02 using their cost-cutting development techniques. This X-02 was sent to the Yuktobanian Air Force,[11] but it was later shot down over Osean territory. The pilot managed to eject.[12] The aircraft's remains were handed to the mechanics at Sand Island Air Force Base.[13]

A year after the Circum-Pacific War ended, an X-02 flew alongside an ADF-01 FALKEN and an ADFX-01 Morgan over November International Stadium in its first airshow since the war.[14]

Infinity universe

In the Infinity universe, the X-02 was developed by an unknown country.[15] Its blueprints were later added to Wernher and Noah Enterprises's Advanced Automated Aviation Plant, including a variant used by an ace pilot to win countless wars by living "the way of the knight."[16]

Game Analysis

Ace Combat Infinity

"An air superiority/multirole fighter developed by a certain country.
It features special variable wings which adjust according to speed. The forward swept wing configuration allows it to demonstrate unparalleled combat abilities while its sweptback wing configuration gives it access to supercruise and stealth abilities.
The extreme visual differences between the wing configurations has often made people believe that there are 2 different aircraft. Its nickname is "Wyvern"."

Trivia

  • Isshin Yabuki designed the X-02 Wyvern using elements of the Su-37 Terminator and YF-23 Black Widow II as inspiration. In a 2004 interview with Softbank Games, he explained that the variable wing geometry was a "surprise design element" and not an inspiration from the Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze series (which he described as "a particular novel").[19]
  • The X-02 in Ace Combat 04 is depicted as carrier-capable, though subsequent depictions show it as taking off from airfields with no carrier capabilities.
  • During the Operation Future Prospect trailer for Ace Combat Infinity, an image of the X-02 is seen in a similar paint scheme to the ADFX-01 -Block1- 1 Star Aircraft.[20] This livery was never made available for the X-02 before Infinity shut down in March 2018.
  • Although the X-02s deployed to engage Mobius 1 during Operation Katina had a UCAV configuration, radio chatter can still be heard from enemy pilots.
  • In Ace Combat 04, if you do not have S rank on every mission on hard difficulty, you can still earn the black color scheme if you S rank every mission on expert. You unlock the EASA color scheme along with the black one.
