The MiG-27 "Raven" is an upgraded MiG-27 Flogger, with superior engine, weapons, tracking system, radar systems, and decreased weight then its predecessor. It is faster and more versatile then the origional MiG-27, but the most noticable change is the engine swap, giving it VTOL abilities (Vertical Take Off/Landing), making it carrier-able. It uses a similar propulsion system to the Z-1 Aunin, based around the F115 engine. It also feature larger air intakes for improved engine performace and thrust.

The H-131 Harbringer is the world's most advanced helicopter and the cornerstone of the Blacktower RotorCraft force. The Harbringer makes use of the latest advancements in aerospace technology, including stealth which has until now been confined to airplanes.
Abilities
The sophisticated design of the harbringer helicopter allows it to dash to a speed of 210 knots, then cruise at a steady 185. The futuristic propulsion and navigation design also allows the helicopter to execute snap turns in 3.8 seconds and fly sideways or backwards at an incredible 75 mph thanks to a tremendous power output of 1,600 horsepower from each of it's turboshafts.
Firepower
The Harbringer can go to war with up to 14 "Fire and Forget" Hellfire anti-tank missiles, which, once fired, are programmed to control their own flight to their targets. The helicopter can also deploy up to 56 rockets (70mm), or 28 air-to-air missiles, to attack fixed and rotary-wing targets.
Alternatively, it can carry two 435-gallon ferry tanks to self-deploy over 1,350 nm, or crashworthy 240-gallon tanks for more than four and a half hours of combat endurance.
Adding to its already immense firepower, the Harbringer also stows a three-barreled, 20 mm turreted nose mini-gun that can shoot 1600 rounds per minute.
To maintain its low "stealth" profile, the Harbringer features a fully retractable missile armament system, enabling it to hide missiles and rockets in I-RAMS (Integrated Retractable Munitions Systems) bays.
Designed using computer databases, Harbringer redefines the helicopter in terms of power, maneuverability, technological sophistication, and materials engineering. Twin LHTEC-800-LHT-801 turboshaft engines drive an advanced five-blade, bearingless main rotor which further enhances high performance and agility in air-to-air combat. Its FANTAIL anti-torque tail rotor system lets Harbringer execute amazing maneuvers near impossible for other helicopters.
Harbringer also features reconfigurable, fault-tolerant digital missions electronics and on-board diagnostics, Longbow fire-control radar, triple-redundant fly-by-wire flight control and simple, remove-and-replace maintenance.
A wide-field-of-view, helmet-mounted display provides flight information, night vision sensors and a sight system for use with weapons.
In addition, the H-131's Hands On Grips controls literally let pilots fly and perform mission tasks with one hand - the only other acheived only by the Commanche.
The Harbringer also breaks new ground in the use of high technology composites to satisfy both Low Observable Technology requirements and aggressive weight and cost specifications.
Stealth Warrior in the Digital Battlefield
Its on-board computing capability enables Harbringer to acquire, process, analyze and disseminate an amount of information unsurpassed by today's helicopters. Harbringers low radar signature, high technology composites, special acoustics design, and a buried exhaust system, make it less observable than today's premier attack and armed reconnaissance helicopters.
Add to this new generation of passive long-range, high-resolution battlefield sensors, digital interconnectivity, to share data with other members of the combined arms team, produces a completely integrated targeting, and communications weapon system, facilitating the delivery of quick, coordinated responses to tactical situations with minimal work for the pilot.
