The Felucan F-2 has been designed for complete air dominance. One deployment of the Peregrine is to completely nill sensors and RADAR/IR and reduce the fight down to pure cannons and dogfighting, where the Peregrine will have a distinct advantage.

The Peregrine is a multirole, fighter twin-engine combat aircraft with a fully integrated weapons and navigation systems, making use of the latest technology and is capable of outstanding performance on multiple target air-to-air missions and air-to-surface missions deep behind enemy lines.

The Peregrine is a single-seater designed also for seaborne use and carries the same weapon and navigation system. Its airframe has been designed for aircraft-carrier deployment.

The primary role of the Peregrine is air-to-air combat. To reflect this, its hull is formed of strengthened composite that can ward off most shrapnel. The lack of a second seat allows for approximately 100lbs worth of extra computer and sensor systems, giving the Peregrine unmatched detection and fire-control abilities.

The Peregrine will feature dual 30mm cannons on either side of the nose as well as multiple hardpoints, giving it a distinct advantage in air combat. The larger size of the aircraft allows for greater dimensions for fuel, engines and weaponry.

The increased wingspan and wingspace allows for very high preformance even at extreme altitudes (Both high and low), and features a revolutionary new vector-thrust system to allow for extremely tight turning and combat manuvering. The defensive systems feature chaff and flare dispensers as well as RADAR and infrared jamming. A brand new defensive system designed to trigger incoming warheads has been added to this aircraft.

The system is modular, allowing for easy upgrades and features space for new systems in the future. When the aircraft's electronics are activated, it will automaticly detect its payload, fuel state and run a self-diagnosis.
