and equipment specially designed for the following United States‑origin aircraft: the B‑1B, B‑2, F‑15SE, F/A‑18 E/F/G, F‑22, F‑35 and future variants thereof; or the F‑117 or United States Government technology demonstrators. Parts, components, accessories, attachments, and equipment of the F‑15SE and F/A‑18 E/F/G that are common to earlier models of these aircraft.
 (2) face gear gearboxes, split‑torque gearboxes, variable speed gearboxes, synchronisation shafts, interconnecting drive shafts, or rotorcraft gearboxes with internal pitch line velocities exceeding 20,000 feet per minute and able to operate 30 minutes with loss of lubrication, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
 (3) tail boom folding systems, stabilator folding systems or automatic rotor blade folding systems, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
 (4) wing folding systems, and specially designed parts and components therefor, for:
 (i) aircraft powered by power plants controlled under Category IV(d); or
 (ii) aircraft powered by gas turbine engines with any of the following characteristics:
 (A) the portion of the wing outboard of the wing fold is required for sustained flight;
 (B) fuel can be stored outboard of the wing fold;
 (C) control surfaces are outboard of the wing fold;
 (D) hard points are outboard of the wing fold;
 (E) hard points inboard of the wing fold are capable of in‑flight ejection;
 (F) the aircraft is designed to withstand maximum vertical manoeuvring accelerations greater than +3.5g/−1.5g;
 (5) tail hooks and arresting gear, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
 (6) bomb racks, missile launchers, missile rails, weapon pylons, pylon‑to‑launcher adapters, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne launching systems, external stores support systems for ordnance or weapons, and specially designed parts and components therefor (MT if the bomb rack, missile launcher, missile rail, weapon pylon, pylon‑to‑launcher adapter, UAV airborne launching system, or external stores support system is for a UAV, drone, or missile that has a "range" equal to or greater than 300 km);
 (7) damage or failure‑adaptive flight control systems specially designed for aircraft controlled in this category;
 (8) threat‑adaptive autonomous flight control systems;
 (9) non‑surface‑based flight control systems and effectors (for example, thrust vectoring from gas ports other than main engine thrust vector);
 (10) radar altimeters with output power management or signal modulation (that is, frequency hopping, chirping, direct sequence‑spectrum spreading), LPI (low probability of intercept) capabilities (MT if for an unmanned aerial vehicle, drone, or missile that has a "range" equal to or greater than 300 km);
 (11) air‑to‑air refuelling systems and hover‑in‑flight refuelling (HIFR) systems, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
 (12) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight control systems and vehicle management systems with swarming capability (that is, UAVs interact with each other to avoid collisions and stay together, or, if weaponised, coordinate targeting) (MT if for a UAV,
