Archangel Arms Initiative
The Archangel Arms Initiative (AAI) was founded shortly after the begin of the 'Kethane Station'-conflict as a conglomerate of several smaller military aviation and aerospace companies all accross Kerbin. Specialised in military aircraft, the AAI began designing and producing manned and unmanned aircraft to provide the HKA with enough firepower to turn the conflict in their favor. The AAI President, A. Kerbington, is a very conscientious man who tests every new design himself first to make sure that it packs no danger for the HKA pilots.
AAI-11 'Leopard' Light fighter (Military aircraft)
Mass: 8.445t
Parts: 52
The nimble and lightweight fighter 'Leopard' was one of the first aircraft designed and produced by the AAI.
Designed as a cheap and easy to produce fighter the 'Leopard' is highly favored by paramilitary and rebel groups alike.
Powered by a J-33 'Wheesley' Turbofan, the 'Leopard' is capable of reaching subsonic speeds .
Armed with 4x AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and 4x Browning M2 machine guns with 300 rounds of ammunition each, the 'Leopard' isnt the hardest hitting competitor in the sky, but its cheap price and maneuverability compensate for the lack of firepower.

AAI-24 'Camel' - Attacker (Military aircraft)
Mass: 13.575t
Parts: 55
The AAI-24 'Camel' is a two-seated fighter designed for ground attacks and bombing runs.
Relatively heavy for its size, the 'Camel' doesnt stand high chances in a dogfight, but the powerful J404 'Panther' Turbofan provides it with enough speed to outrun enemy S-to-A countermeasures while providing it with decent maneuverability.
The 'Camel' is capable of carrying a wide variety of Air-to-ground missiles and bombs and comes from factory equipped with 2x CBU-87 Cluster bombs, 2x Mk82 SnakeEye bombs and 2x AGM-65 Maverick missiles.
Once out of missiles, the 'Camel' makes use of it's two Vulcan 20mm machine cannons, which are capable of swiftly wiping out even large platoons of enemy ground forces.
The 'Camel' is also capable of reconnaissance and surveillance tasks, making it the perfect backbone for every kerbal airforce.

AAI-29 'Eclipse' - Interceptor (Military aircraft)
Mass: 11.301t
Parts: 58
The AAI-29 'Eclipse' derived from the 'nextGen' fighter program initiated by AAI.
After it became clear that the AAI-11 was heavily under-performing compared to more recent models, the head office of the AAI decided to design a new, advanced fighter aircraft.
The 'Eclipse' got rid of the old J-33 turbofan and is now equipped with a J-404 'Panther' turbofan, also featuring an afterburner, which gives the 'Eclipse' the ability to break the sound barrier and reach supersonic cruising speeds.
Mainly designed as an Interceptor, the 'Eclipse' features decent maneuverability whilst providing the pilot with a larger amount of firepower than the old 'Leopards'.
The armament consists of 2x AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and 4x AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles as well as a Vulcan 20mm machine cannon with 600 rounds of ammunition.

AAI-33 'Lancer' - Air-superiority fighter (Military aircraft)
Mass: 12.421t
Parts: 63
The AIM-33 'Lancer' is the first 3rd-generation fighter jet introduced by AAI.
Designed with a new, experimental wing design and nose canards, reaching supersonic cruise speed provided by the two J-404 'Panther' engines and featuring an unmatched maneuverability, the 'Lancer' is primarily designed as an air-superiority fighter, clearing and securing the airspace for following waves of bombers and ground attackers like the 'Camel'.
With an armament consisting of 4x AIM-120 AMRAAMs and 2x AGM-88 HARMs as well as a standard Vulcan 20mm machine cannon with 600 rounds of ammunition, the 'Lancer' is capable of taking on several targets before having to restock on missiles and ammunition.
The combination of heavy firepower with supersonic cruise speed, vector-thrust engines and a superb maneuverability gives the 'Lancer' the capibility to outperform its competitors and makes it the Apex Predator of the skies.

AAI-6 'Executive' - Personal transporter (Military aircraft)
Mass: 24.477t
Parts: 72
The AAI-6 'Executive' is the first and to this date only Bizjet produced by AAI.
This Version was modified to my own standards and is highly improved in comparison to the original model.
The 'Executive' features nose canards and forward-swept wings and is powered by two
J-404 'Panther' turbines, who bring this baby up to supersonic cruise speeds.
Further modified are the defense capabilities, in addition to the standard active countermeasures the 'Executive' features a backwards facing gunner position under the belly, consisting of a 360° rotating dual Browning M2 turret as well as four foward-facing M2s in the nose.
