Introducing the MK1 Carrier Based VTOL fighter jet

This is a lightweight, analogue (Gen 3) single seat, single-engine fighter jet.

Originally developed for the Submarine Aircraft Carrier Program as a test aircraft, the platform was regarded as an interim solution while a more capable twin-engine 4th Generation fighter was in the design phase..

The aircraft however proved itself an effective and reliable VTOL fighter/bomber platform that is cheaper than most helicopters. Performing grunt work for many years alongside more advanced 4+ generation models.

Although now only used as a training aircraft for TR-34 pilots, export models continue to serve as front-line fighters worldwide. The design concept led to influence all future models in the TR series.
