Raysian Aerospace ((Hey, These guys haven't made anything new in a while :) )) has developed a prototype low-cost Aircraft design to sell to smaller nations.

The RF-9 "Liberator" is a relatively simple airframe, easy to make, but it's maneuverability is right up near the F-22. It has no stealth abilities whatsoever, and it's armor is simple. It implements a Swing-wing variable geometry system to have stability at low and high speeds. The wings can tail can collaps in for storage too. Two Raysian Electric REJH-1200 engines output 22,000 lbs of thrust each, and both vector thrust up and down. On a standard load this plane can reach Mach 2.1.
Expect these on the market very soon, going for about 20 Million USD. Go ahead and reserve yours now.
