The FA-31 was a naval-based fighter-bomber designed for deep strike and air superiority roles. Proposed as a cheaper option compared to its under powered predecessor, the FA-31 had an improved airframe design that kept the wingspan large for extra armament loading but light enough to bring the aircraft to high speeds very quickly. The aircraft also got rid of the tandem-seat design in favor of a single seat orientation, removing weight that would've been used for avionics and shrinking the overall size of the nose, reducing weight even more. The aircraft was in service for decades before its retirement, participating in small coalition strike missions as a bomber and quick-response strike aircraft.

    @Oprad It's based off a speculative rendition of the F-108 when rumors of its development made its rounds in 1959. This plane is based off drawings in an old french copy of an interavia magazine.
