F20 Tigershark

The **Northrop F-20 Tigershark** (initially **F-5G**) was a privately financed light fighter, designed and built by Northrop. Its development began in 1975 as a further evolution of Northrop's F-5E Tiger II, featuring a new engine that greatly improved overall performance, and a modern avionics suite including a powerful and flexible radar. Compared with the F-5E, the F-20 was much faster, gained beyond-visual-range air-to-air capability, and had a full suite of air-to-ground modes capable of firing most U.S. weapons. With these improved capabilities, the F-20 became competitive with contemporary fighter designs such as the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, but was much less expensive to purchase and operate.

Much of the F-20's development was carried out under a US Department of Defense (DoD) project called "FX". FX sought to develop fighters that would be capable in combat with the latest Soviet aircraft, but excluding sensitive front-line technologies used by the United States Air Force's own aircraft. FX was a product of the Carter administration's military export policies, which aimed to provide foreign nations with high quality equipment without the risk of US front-line technology falling into Soviet hands. Northrop had high hopes for the F-20 in the international market, but policy changes following Ronald Reagan's election meant the F-20 had to compete for sales against aircraft like the F-16, the USAF's latest fighter design. The development program was abandoned in 1986 after three prototypes had been built and a fourth partially completed.[1]

In the game, the F20 Tigershark is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $550.
Sopwith Camel

The **Sopwith Camel** was a British First World War single-seat biplane fighter aircraft introduced on the Western Front in 1917. It had been developed by the Sopwith Aviation Company as a successor to the earlier Sopwith Pup and would become one of the most iconic fighter aircraft of the First World War.

The Camel was powered by a single rotary engine and was armed with twin synchronized machine guns. Though proving difficult to handle, it provided for a high level of manoeuvrability to an experienced pilot, an attribute which was highly valued in the type's principal use as a fighter aircraft. In total, Camel pilots have been credited with the shooting down of 1,294 enemy aircraft, more than any other Allied fighter of the conflict. Towards the end of the Great War, the type had also seen use as a ground-attack aircraft, partially due to it having become increasingly outclassed as the capabilities of fighter aircraft on both sides was rapidly advancing at that time.

The main variant of the Camel was designated as the **F.1**; several dedicated variants were built for a variety of roles, including the **2F.1** Ship's Camel, which was used for operating from the flight decks of aircraft carriers, the **Comic** night fighter variant, and the **T.F.1**, a dedicated 'trench fighter' that had been armoured for the purpose of conducting ground attacks upon heavily defended enemy lines. The Camel also saw use as a two-seat trainer aircraft. In January 1920, the last aircraft of the type were withdrawn from RAF service.

In the game, the Sopwith Camel is unlocked once the player's funds have reached $50
Stealth Mode

Stealth Mode is a bonus weapon in the game Sky Knights. On a plane with Stealth Mode, the plane will partially disappear for 10 seconds when the "C" key is pressed.

A plane in stealth mode will be unable to be tracked by missiles launched by convoys and enemy aircraft. An upcoming game update will also prevent the player from getting hit by enemy planes. The Stealth Mode ability can be used by the F22 Raptor, B2 Spirit, B1B Lancer, and the F117 Nighthawk.
Enemy Convoy

The Enemy Convoy is a support vehicle that appears in the gamemodes Convoy Raid, Bombing Run, and several Challenges.

In Convoy Raid Stages, the player must defend his/her convoy from the enemies. The player convoy will take heavy damage if it is attacked by a convoy.

In Bombing Run stages, the player must not allow any of the convoys to reach the red bar. If they do, the mission will fail.

The Enemy Convoy can be damaged by bombs and missiles, but is most effective to deal with the convoy using bombs. It is not affected by bullets. The convoy can also launch missiles at the player just like the enemies can. There are four convoys in the the game, the Tank, the Battleship, the Truck, and the Helicopter.
F4 Phantom

The **McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II**[N 1] is a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jetinterceptor aircraft/fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft.[2] It first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their respective air wings.[3]

The Phantom is a large fighter with a top speed of over Mach 2.2. It can carry more than 18,000 pounds (8,400 kg) of weapons on nine external hardpoints, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and various bombs. The F-4, like other interceptors of its time, was designed without an internal cannon. Later models incorporated an M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. Beginning in 1959, it set 15 world records for in-flight performance,[4] including an absolute speed record, and an absolute altitude record.[5]

During the Vietnam War, the F-4 was used extensively; it served as the principal air superiority fighter for both the Navy and Air Force, and became important in the ground-attack and aerial reconnaissance roles late in the war. The Phantom has the distinction of being the last U.S. fighter flown to attain ace status in the 20th century. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force had one pilot and two weapon systems officers (WSOs),[6] and the US Navy had one pilot and one radar intercept officer (RIO) become aces by achieving five aerial kills against enemy fighter aircraft.[7] The F-4 continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, being gradually replaced by more modern aircraft such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16 in the U.S. Air Force, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the U.S. Navy, and the F/A-18 Hornet in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.

In the game, the F4 Phantom is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $400
Enemy Airplane

The Enemy Airplane is the main enemy in Sky Knights. In the game, a new enemy will fly towards the player every 2.5 seconds. Every 10 seconds, a flying enemy will randomly glide to a new spot.

The Enemy Plane is affected by guns, missiles, bombs, and some bonus weapons. When the enemy is hit by a bullet it will drop out of the sky and explode. It will splash if it is touching water and crash if it is touching land. If an enemy is hit by a bomb, missile, or bonus weapon, it will explode instantly without crashing.

When the enemy touches a player, that player will continue to take damage until he/she is no longer touching the enemy. The same applies for the Enemy Bomber.

There are five different enemies, including the A6M Zero, Focke-Wulf F190, Su-35, Me 262, and the much rarer PAK-FA. Each stage has a different enemy and an enemy bomber (The type of bomber usually is linked to the same air force of the enemy.).
Su-37 Terminator

The **Sukhoi Su-37** (NATO reporting name: **Flanker-F**, unofficially nicknamed **Terminator**) is an experimental single-seat, supermaneuverable multirole jet fighter, designed by Sukhoi. A further development of the original Su-27 "Flanker", it was modified from the first-generation Su-35 (formerly "T10M") prototypes. The Su-37 features an upgraded avionic suite and fire-control system but its most notable additions are the thrust vectoring nozzles; only two prototypes were converted.

During the Su-35 flight test programme, active controls during dogfighting maneuvers could not be attained; thus Sukhoi explored the application of thrust-vectoring nozzles to give fighters better dogfighting attributes. The first Su-37, converted from the eleventh Su-35, made its maiden flight in April 1996 at Zhukovsky. It was joined by a second prototype in 1998. Throughout the program, the Su-37 publicly demonstrated its attributes at numerous air shows, performing maneuvers impossible to complete with normal flight control methods, among which was a 360° somersault. Despite its potential advantages, the Su-37 did not enter production; it has instead remained as a technology demonstrator for updated Su-27 family aircraft such as the export Su-30 and the modernized Su-35.

In the game, the Su-37 can only be used after all other aircraft have been unlocked.
F22 Raptor

The **Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor** is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities.[6] The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and did its final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.

The aircraft was variously designated **F-22** and **F/A-22** before it formally entered service in December 2005 as the **F-22A**. After a protracted development and despite operational issues, the USAF considers the F-22 critical to its tactical air power, and says that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter.[7] The Raptor's combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness gives the aircraft unprecedented air combat capabilities.[8][9]

The high cost of the aircraft, a lack of clear air-to-air missions due to delays in Russian and Chinese fighter programs, a ban on exports, and development of the more versatile F-35 led to the end of F-22 production.[N 1] A final procurement tally of 187 operational production aircraft was established in 2009, and the last F-22 was delivered to the USAF in 2012.

In the game, the F22 Raptor is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $650. The F22 Raptor also has the bonus ability Stealth Mode.
UH60 Black Hawk

The **Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk** is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky submitted the S-70 design for the United States Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) competition in 1972. The Army designated the prototype as the *YUH-60A* and selected the Black Hawk as the winner of the program in 1976, after a fly-off competition with the Boeing Vertol YUH-61.

Named after the Native American war leader Black Hawk, the UH-60A entered service with the U.S. Army in 1979, to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois as the Army's tactical transport helicopter. This was followed by the fielding of electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk. Improved UH-60L and UH-60M utility variants have also been developed. Modified versions have also been developed for the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. In addition to U.S. Army use, the UH-60 family has been exported to several nations. Black Hawks have served in combat during conflicts in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and other areas in the Middle East.

In the game, the UH60 is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $900. It is one of two helicopters in the game.
F86 Sabre

The **North American F-86 Sabre**, sometimes called the **Sabrejet**, is a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept wing fighter that could counter the similarly-winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights over the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953). Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras.[3] Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the '50s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable, and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active operational examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.

Its success led to an extended production run of more than 7,800 aircraft between 1949 and 1956, in the United States, Japan and Italy. Variants were built in Canada and Australia. The Canadair Sabre added another 1,815 airframes, and the significantly redesigned CAC Sabre (sometimes known as the Avon Sabre or CAC CA-27), had a production run of 112. The Sabre was by far the most-produced Western jet fighter, with total production of all variants at 9,860 units.[1]

In the game, the F86 Sabre is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $350
B52 Stratofortress

The **Boeing B-52 Stratofortress** is an American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons,[5]and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) without aerial refueling.[6]

Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name *Stratofortress* is rarely used; informally, the aircraft has become commonly referred to as the *BUFF* (Big Ugly Fat Fucker).[7][8][Note 1]

The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955. As of December 2015, 58 were in active service with 18 in reserve.[10] The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was disestablished in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010 all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the newly created Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite the advent of later, more advanced aircraft, including the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed sixty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2015. After being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, it is expected to serve into the 2040s.[Note 2]

In the game, the B52 is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $875. The B52 is equipped with the bonus weapon Tracker Missile.
F15 Eagle

The **McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle** is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) to gain and maintain air supremacy in aerial combat. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas' design in 1967 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills scored by the Israel Air Force.[3][4]

The Eagle has been exported to Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 was originally envisioned as a pure air superiority aircraft. Its design included a secondary ground-attack capability[5] that was largely unused. The aircraft design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed and entered service in 1989. The F-15 Eagle is expected to be in service with the U.S. Air Force past 2025.[6] Newer models are still being produced for foreign users. The F-15 production line is set to end in 2019, 47 years after the type's first flight.[7]

In the game, the F15 Eagle is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $450
Stinger

The Stinger is the alien boss in Part 2 of the final challenge in Sky Knights. It is a alien spacecraft like glides to a random spot and fires a weapon.

The Stinger's weapons include the Laser Cannon, Alien Drone, Ray Shield, and Destroyer Bomb. The laser cannon is a rapid fire cannon that does minimal damage to the player. The Alien Drone will chase the player until it self destructs. The drone appears after the Ray Shield lowers. The shield will block all weapons except bombs from damaging the Stinger. The Destroyer bomb is similar to the bonus weapon Heavy Bomb, but the Destroyer is much bigger and deadlier.

The Stinger can be damaged by bullets, missiles, and bombs. It is not affected by bonus weapons. Missiles damage the Stinger the most. Once the Stinger's damage reaches 1,000, it will explode, and the player has officially won the game. However, if the player touches the Stinger, the mission will fail.
C17 Globemaster III

The **Boeing C-17 Globemaster III** is a large military transport aircraft. It was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. The C-17 commonly performs tactical and strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world; additional roles include medical evacuation and airdrop duties. It was designed to replace the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, and also fulfill some of the duties of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, freeing the C-5 fleet for outsize cargo.[3]

Boeing, which merged with McDonnell Douglas in the 1990s, continued to manufacture C-17s for export customers following the end of deliveries to the U.S. Air Force. Aside from the United States, the C-17 is in service with the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, NATO Heavy Airlift Wing, India, and Kuwait. The final C-17 was completed at the Long Beach, California plant and flown on 29 November 2015.[4]

In the game, the C17 is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $850. It also has the bonus weapon Supply Drop.
Enemy Bomber

The Enemy Bomber is a type of enemy in every stage in Sky Knights except for the Challenge stages.

The enemy bomber is a tough and slow moving enemy that can be difficult to shoot down but rewarding if the player does. The bomber takes 2 bullet hits to destroy but can also be affected by bombs and missiles. It is unaffected by bonus weapons.

A bomber will give you more points if you are able to shoot it down. There a six bombers in the game: the Ju-87 Stuka, Pe-8, Do 317, G3M Nell, A5M, and the Mig-3.

In an upcoming update, the bomber will be able to make bombing raids against the player's convoy in the Bombing Run mode.
F4F Wildcat

The **Grumman F4F Wildcat** is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service with both the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy (as the **Martlet**) in 1940. First used in combat by the British in Europe, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II in 1941 and 1942; the disappointing Brewster Buffalo was withdrawn in favor of the Wildcat and replaced as units became available. With a top speed of 318 mph (512 km/h), the Wildcat was outperformed by the faster 331 mph (533 km/h), more maneuverable, and longer-ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero. However, the F4F's ruggedness, coupled with tactics such as the Thach Weave, resulted in a claimed air combat kill-to-loss ratio of 5.9:1 in 1942 and 6.9:1 for the entire war.[2]

Lessons learned from the Wildcat were later applied to the faster F6F Hellcat. While the Wildcat had better range and maneuverability at low speed,[3] the Hellcat could rely on superior power and high speed performance[4] to outperform the Zero. The Wildcat continued to be built throughout the remainder of the war to serve on escort carriers, where larger and heavier fighters could not be used.

The F4F Wildcat is the default plane in Sky Knights and is the first aircraft available when the game is first played.
B2 Spirit

The **Northrop** (later **Northrop Grumman**) **B-2 Spirit**, also known as the **Stealth Bomber**, is an American heavy penetrationstrategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses; it is a flying wing design with a crew of two.[1][4] The bomber can deploy both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as eighty 500 lb (230 kg)-class (Mk 82) JDAM Global Positioning System-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

Development originally started under the "Advanced Technology Bomber" (ATB) project during the Carter administration; its expected performance was one of his reasons for the cancellation of the supersonic B-1A bomber. The ATB project continued during the Reagan administration, but worries about delays in its introduction led to the reinstatement of the B-1 program as well. Program costs rose throughout development. Designed and manufactured by Northrop, later Northrop Grumman, the cost of each aircraft averaged US$737 million (in 1997 dollars).[3] Total procurement costs averaged $929 million per aircraft, which includes spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support.[3] The total program cost including development, engineering and testing, averaged $2.1 billion per aircraft in 1997.[3]

Because of its considerable capital and operating costs, the project was controversial in the U.S. Congress and among the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The winding-down of the Cold War in the latter portion of the 1980s dramatically reduced the need for the aircraft, which was designed with the intention of penetrating Soviet airspace and attacking high-value targets. During the late 1980s and 1990s, Congress slashed plans to purchase 132 bombers to 21. In 2008, a B-2 was destroyed in a crash shortly after takeoff, though the crew ejected safely.[5] A total of 20 B-2s remain in service with the United States Air Force, which plans to operate the B-2 until 2058.[6]

In the game, the B2 Spirit is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $625. The B2 has the bonus ability Stealth Mode.
F18E Superhornet

The **Boeing F/A-18E** and **F/A-18F Super Hornet** are twin-engine carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.

Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Full-rate production began in September 1997, after the merger of McDonnell Douglas and Boeing the previous month. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006; the Super Hornet serves alongside the original Hornet. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which has operated the F/A-18A as its main fighter since 1984, ordered the F/A-18F in 2007 to replace its aging F-111C fleet. RAAF Super Hornets entered service in December 2010.

In the game, the F18E Superhornet can only be used after all other aircraft have been unlocked. The F18 and F18E also include the bonus weapon Tracker Missile.
PAK-FA

The **Sukhoi PAK FA** (Russian: Сухой ПАК ФА, Russian: Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, *Perspektivny Aviatsionny Kompleks Frontovoy Aviatsii*, literally "Prospective Airborne Complex of Frontline Aviation") is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft programme of the Russian Air Force. **T-50** is the name of the prototype aircraft designed by Sukhoi for the PAK FA programme. The aircraft is a stealthy, single-seat, twin-engine jet fighter, and will be the first operational aircraft in Russian service to use stealth technology. It is a multirole fighter designed for air superiority and attack roles. The fighter is planned to have supercruise, stealth, supermaneuverability, and advanced avionics to overcome the prior generation of fighter aircraft as well as ground and maritime defences.[12][13]

The PAK FA is intended to be the successor to the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian Air Force and serve as the basis for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) being co-developed by Sukhoi and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force.[14][15] The T-50 prototype first flew on 29 January 2010 and deliveries of production aircraft to the Russian Air Force are to begin in 2018.[16] The prototypes and initial production batch will be delivered with a highly upgraded variant of the AL-31F used by the Su-27 family as interim engines while a new clean-sheet design powerplant is currently under development. The aircraft is expected to have a service life of up to 35 years.[17]

In the game, the PAK-FA is a rare enemy plane that only appears in the Part 1 of the Final Challenge and Challenge 3.

Messerschmitt Me262

The **Messerschmitt Me 262**, nicknamed ***Schwalbe*** (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or ***Sturmvogel*** (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.[5] Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor.[6] One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,[7] the Me 262's roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions.

Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills.[8] The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and during takeoff and landing. Engine reliability problems, from the pioneering nature of its Junkers Jumo 004 axial-flow turbojet engines—the first ever placed in mass production—and attacks by Allied forces on fuel supplies during the deteriorating late-war situation also reduced the effectiveness of the aircraft as a fighting force. In the end, the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war as a result of its late introduction and the consequently small numbers put in operational service.[9]

While German use of the aircraft ended with the close of the Second World War, a small number were operated by the Czechoslovak Air Force until 1951. Captured Me 262s were studied and flight tested by the major powers, and ultimately influenced the designs of a number of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 Sabre and Boeing B-47 Stratojet.[7] A number of aircraft have survived on static display in museums, and there have also been several privately built flying reproductions that use the modern J-85 jet engine.

In the game, the Me 262 is an enemy plane that appears in Survival Stage 2 and Bombing Stage 3.
C130 Hercules

The **Lockheed C-130 Hercules** is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over forty variants and versions of the Hercules, including a civilian one marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations.

The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in the 1950s, followed by Australia and others. During its years of service, the Hercules family has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. In 2007, the C-130 became the fifth aircraft—after the English Electric Canberra, B-52 Stratofortress, Tu-95 Bear, and KC-135 Stratotanker—to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary customer, in this case, the United States Air Force. The C-130 Hercules is the longest continuously produced military aircraft at over 60 years, with the updated Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules currently being produced.[4]

In the game, the C130 is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $800. The aircraft is one of 2 planes in the game to feature the bonus weapon Supply Drop.
A64 Apache

The **Boeing AH-64 Apache** is an American four-blade, twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage. It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has a large amount of systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.

The Apache originally started as the *Model 77* developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. The prototype YAH-64 was first flown on 30 September 1975. The U.S. Army selected the YAH-64 over the Bell YAH-63 in 1976, and later approved full production in 1982. After purchasing Hughes Helicopters in 1984, McDonnell Douglas continued AH-64 production and development. The helicopter was introduced to U.S. Army service in April 1986. The first production AH-64D Apache Longbow, an upgraded Apache variant, was delivered to the Army in March 1997. Production has been continued by Boeing Defense, Space & Security; over 2,000 AH-64s have been produced to date.[3]

The U.S. Army is the primary operator of the AH-64; it has also become the primary attack helicopter of multiple nations, including Greece, Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates; as well as being produced under license in the United Kingdom as the AgustaWestland Apache. American AH-64s have served in conflicts in Panama, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel used the Apache in its military conflicts in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip; British and Dutch Apaches have seen deployments in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In the game, the A64 (or AH64) is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $950.
F14 Tomcat

The **Grumman F-14 Tomcat** is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American teen-series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.

The F-14 first flew in December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS *Enterprise* (CVN-65), replacing the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 1990s. The Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system were added in the 1990s and the Tomcat began performing precision ground-attack missions.[1]

In the 1980s F-14s were used as land-based interceptors by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force during the Iran–Iraq War, where they saw combat against Iraqi warplanes. Iranian F-14s reportedly shot down at least 160 Iraqi aircraft during the war, while only 12 to 16 Tomcats were lost; at least half of these losses were due to accidents.[2][3]

In the game, the F14 Tomcat is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $425
B1B Lancer

The **Rockwell B-1 Lancer**[N 1] is a four-engine supersonic variable-sweep wing, jet-powered heavy strategic bomber used by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was first envisioned in the 1960s as a supersonic bomber with Mach 2 speed, and sufficient range and payload to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. It was developed into the B-1B, primarily a low-level penetrator with long range and Mach 1.25 speed capability at high altitude. It is commonly called the "Bone" (originally from "B-One").

Designed by Rockwell International (now part of Boeing), development was delayed multiple times over its history due to changes in the perceived need for manned bombers. The initial B-1A version was developed in the early 1970s, but its production was canceled, and only four prototypes were built. The need for a new platform once again surfaced in the early 1980s, and the aircraft resurfaced as the B-1B version with the focus on low-level penetration bombing. However, by this point, development of stealth technology was promising an aircraft of dramatically improved capability. Production went ahead as the B version would be operational before the "Advanced Technology Bomber" (which became the B-2 Spirit), during a period when the B-52 would be increasingly vulnerable. The B-1B entered service in 1986 with the USAF Strategic Air Command (SAC) as a nuclear bomber.

In the early 1990s, following the Gulf War and concurrent with the disestablishment of SAC and its reassignment to the newly formed Air Combat Command (ACC), the B-1B was converted to conventional bombing use. It first served in combat during Operation Desert Fox in 1998 and again during the NATO action in Kosovo the following year. The B-1B has supported U.S. and NATO military forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The USAF had 66 B-1Bs in service in September 2012. The B-1B is expected to continue to serve into the 2030s, with the Long Range Strike Bomber to start supplementing the B-1B in 2030.

In the game, The B1B Lancer is unlocked after the player's funds reaches $750. The B1B also has the bonus ability Stealth Mode.
F117 Nighthawk

The **Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk** is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth attack aircraft that was developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The F-117 was based on the *Have Blue* technology demonstrator, and was the first operational aircraft to be designed around stealth technology. The maiden flight of the Nighthawk took place in 1981, and the aircraft achieved initial operating capability status in 1983.[1] The Nighthawk was shrouded in secrecy until it was revealed to the public in 1988.[4]

The F-117 was widely publicized for its role in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Although it was commonly referred to as the "Stealth Fighter", it was strictly an attack aircraft.[5] F-117s took part in the conflict in Yugoslavia, where one was shot down by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) on 27 March 1999; it was the only Nighthawk to be lost in combat. The U.S. Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the F-22 Raptor. Sixty-four F-117s were built, 59 of which were production versions, with the other five being demonstrators/prototypes.

In the game, the F117 is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $725. The F117 also has the bonus ability Stealth Mode.
F190 Shrike

The **Focke-Wulf Fw 190 *Würger*** (English: Shrike) is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Fw 190 became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's *Jagdwaffe* (Fighter Force). The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter.

The Fw 190A started flying operationally over France in August 1941, and quickly proved superior in all but turn radius to the Royal Air Force's main front-line fighter, the Spitfire Mk. V,[3] especially at low and medium altitudes. The 190 maintained superiority over Allied fighters until the introduction of the improved Spitfire Mk. IX.[4] In November/December 1942, the Fw 190 made its air combat debut on the Eastern Front, finding much success in fighter wings and specialised ground attack units called *Schlachtgeschwader* (Battle Wings or Strike Wings) from October 1943 onwards. In the opinion of German pilots who flew both the Bf 109 and the Fw 190, the latter provided increased firepower and, at low to medium altitude, manoeuvrability.

The Fw 190A series' performance decreased at high altitudes (usually 6,000 m (20,000 ft) and above), which reduced its effectiveness as a high-altitude interceptor. From the Fw 190's inception, there had been ongoing efforts to address this with a turbosupercharged BMW 801 in the B model, the much longer-nosed C model with efforts to also turbocharge its chosen Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V12 powerplant, and the similarly long-nosed D model with the Junkers Jumo 213. Problems with the turbocharger installations on the -B and -C subtypes meant only the D model would see service, entering service in September 1944. While these "long nose" versions gave them parity with Allied opponents, it arrived far too late in the war to have any real effect.

In the game, the F190 Shrike is an enemy plane that appears in Dogfight Stage 2, Bombing Stages 1 and 2, and Convoy Stage 3.
Aurora Stealth Fighter

**Aurora** was a rumored mid-1980s American reconnaissance aircraft. There is no substantial evidence that it was ever built or flown and it has been termed a myth.[1][2]

The U.S. government has consistently denied such an aircraft was ever built. Aviation and space reference site*Aerospaceweb.org* concluded, "The evidence supporting the Aurora is circumstantial or pure conjecture, there is little reason to contradict the government's position."[1] Former Skunk Works director, Ben Rich, confirmed that "Aurora" was simply a myth in "Skunk Works," a book detailing his days as the director. Mr. Rich wrote that a young colonel working in the Pentagon arbitrarily assigned the name "Aurora" to the funding for the B-2 bomber design competition and somehow the name was leaked to the media.[3]

Others come to different conclusions.[4] In 2006, veteran black project watcher and aviation writer Bill Sweetman said, "Does Aurora exist? Years of pursuit have led me to believe that, yes, Aurora is most likely in active development, spurred on by recent advances that have allowed technology to catch up with the ambition that launched the program a generation ago."[5]

The Aurora is not listed in the in-game shop. It can only be used after all other aircraft have been unlocked and it features the bonus ability Stealth Mode.
J10 Firebird

The **Chengdu J-10** (simplified Chinese: 歼-10; traditional Chinese: 殲-10, NATO Code: **Firebird**[7]) is a lightweight multirole fighter aircraft capable of all-weather operation, configured with a delta wing and canard design,[8] with fly-by-wire flight controls, and produced by the People's Republic of China'sChengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).

In the game, the J10 Firebird can only be used after all other aircraft have been unlocked.
Plane Racer

The Plane Racer is an enemy that was released in version 1.6  of Sky Knights. It appears in the Race stages. The plane racer will try to beat the player by passing through the same amount of hoops faster than the player can.

The plane racer has no weapons, it cannot hurt the player and the player cannot hurt the plane racer. The plane racer will fly in front of a hoop and sit there until it passes through the hoop. Occasionally, it will go to the wrong spot. This is to allow the player to get ahead of it.

The plane racer only appears as a P-39 Airacobra and the Tsunami Racer, which are both a popular plane used in races and air shows.
Eurofighter Typhoon

The **Eurofighter Typhoon** is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole fighter.[7][8] The Typhoon was designed and is manufactured by a consortium of Alenia Aermacchi (Leonardo since 2017), Airbus Group, and BAE Systems that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbHformed in 1986. NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency manages the project and is the prime customer.[9]

The aircraft's development effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaboration among the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Disagreements over design authority and operational requirements led France to leave the consortium to develop the Dassault Rafale independently. A technology demonstration aircraft, the British Aerospace EAP, first took flight on 6 August 1986; the first prototype of the finalised Eurofighter made its first flight on 27 March 1994. The aircraft's name, Typhoon, was adopted in September 1998; the first production contracts were also signed that year.

Political issues in the partner nations significantly protracted the Typhoon's development; the sudden end of theCold War reduced European demand for fighter aircraft, and debate existed over the aircraft's cost and work share. The Typhoon entered operational service in 2003; it has entered service with the air forces of Austria, Italy,Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Saudi Arabia. The air forces of Oman and Kuwait are export customers, bringing the procurement total to 599 aircraft as of 2016.

In the game, the Eurofighter can only be used after all other aircraft have been unlocked.

Supermarine Spitfire

The **Supermarine Spitfire** is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries before, during and after World War II. The Spitfire was built in many variants, using several wing configurations, and was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter to be in continuous production throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; about 54 remain airworthy, while many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.

The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. Mitchell pushed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing (designed by B. Shenstone) to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane. Mitchell continued to refine the design until his death in 1937, whereupon his colleague Joseph Smith took over as chief designer, overseeing the development of the Spitfire through its multitude of variants.

In the game, the SM Spitfire is unlocked when the player's funds reaches $200

Avara Galbea

**Avara Galbea** ist eine Magierin aus Bréjas, die dafür bekannt ist das
Magiersystem in Bréjas revolutioniert und modernisiert zu haben. Orientiert hat sie sich dabei am lemanischen System.

## **Geschichte**

Avara wurde 1021 in Grimău in eine reiche Handelsfamilie geboren. Schon früh entschieden sich ihre Eltern sie auf eine Magierschule zu schicken, um sie zu fördern. Sie entschieden sich für die vor kurzem gegründete Sabin-Magierschule. Mit 10 wurde sie aufgenommen, sieben Jahre später hatte sie ihre Ausbildung. Ihr magisches Talent beeindruckte die Fürsten Bréjas und sie diente zunächst 5 Jahre lang am Hof von Fürstin Melania Tisora III. von Miucinia. Danach drei Jahre bei Riva Gasrana I. von Sot. Dabei bemerkte sie den katastrophalen Zustand des Magierkasten-Systems in Bréjas und beschloss etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Auf ihre Magierschule hatte sie viel gelesen und da Bréjas schon viele Jahre gute Handelspartner mit Lemanien waren, hatten sie auch Bücher aus dieser Region. Dadurch erfuhr sie vom Magierkastensystem in Lemanien und beschloss dieses auch für Bréjas umsetzen. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg erweiterte sie ihren Einfluss und konnte 1078 den Rat der Magier in Bréjas, der eher eine lose Zusammenkunft einflussreicher bréjischer Magier war, überzeugen, ihre Ideen umzusetzen. Wenige Jahre später machten sich ihre Bemühungen bemerkbar und heute gilt Bréjas-Magiersystem zu einem der modernsten auf ganz Lota. Avara, mittlerweile eine alte Frau, lebt mit ihrem Mann in der Hauptstadt Branara und genießt ihren Ruhestand.
