fighter jet

A jet-powered military aircraft. Fighting in conflicts as close support for ground troops, and maintaining air superiority in a dogfight. These crafts can travel at supersonic speeds of Mach 1, 2, and 3; armed with an array of guided and unguided penetration bombs, missiles, and vulcan cannons.

Pilots that fly them are equipped with a g-suit and an oxygen mask on their pilot helmet, to allow them to withstand the heavy g-force from maneuvering the aircraft at supersonic speed, and to breathe easily while flying at altitudes of more than 20,000 feet.
