Khan'Ning KN-892 "Star Chaser" Liquid Rocket Interceptor
Developed in 2,270 BCE out of losing control of the skies and fear of strategic bombing the EADM asked the Khan'Ning Aircraft Corporation to develop two "Intimidate Air-Space Defense Fighters" to intercept bombers and win back control of the skies. The end result came in the form of the KN-320 ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/22698659/ ) and the KN-892. The KN-892 was the first liquid rocket aircraft to be developed and used in combat on Mai'No'Tia, rolled out 96 days from signing of the contract (one day after the KN-320) which said that the planes had to be able to out run all Ko'Jame fighters, be able to defend the air-space from bombers, out maneuver all fighters of the time, have a flight time of at least 10 minutes, if necessary be replaceable if damaged, and go from design to the air in 100 days. Everything about the 892 was designed to give it the fastest speed and shortest take of run possible, with down pointing trailing edges, large flaps, weight being reduced by having no landing gear, and made of extremely light materials. The 892 had a un-conventional take-off procedure, the plane would rest on a three wheeled rocket boosted trolley on the end of a runway, held down by a special hook that connects under the exhaust with a concrete wall two meters behind the aircraft, increase to full throttle, wait for about a minute to reach full engine running capacity, the hook would un do, the pilot pull back on the stick as the plane shoots down the runway with the trolley giving extra boost. The trolley had no connectors to the aircraft so it would just keep going after the plane took off. The landing was more dangerous than any other aircraft, because it had no landing gear the bottom was reinforced and would slow down to about 180 kph, lower flaps and skid to a stop.
