Combat aircraft - attack & air superiority
The Archdemon Mk.1t7X is RD's entry into the field of multirole precision strike aircraft. It features two high-thrust afterburning turbofan engines, unparalleled low-speed maneuverability, and plenty of wing area and power to store a substantial amount of munitions for both air-to-ground strikes and air-to-air engagements. The Archdemon seats two in separate cockpits, a WSO (Weapon Systems Officer) in the rear and a pilot in the front. The Archdemon also features an advanced dual-mode M.A.R.S.-24 AESA A-G/A-A combat radar/fire-control system to allow it to excell in both precision strike and air dominance. The forward canards have variable deflection and can be tuned to have as much as 90* of throw if needed. The Archdemon also comes pre-installed with our latest AimBOT-v.1.3 AG/AD combat computer and a Torrent kinetics SM-K320 30mm autocannon.

The third iteration in RD's iconic 'pikeminnow' lineup, the Pikeminnow Mk.3SM2 improves upon the legacy Pikeminnow Mk.2FSMC. It features a M.A.R.S.-15 40 km range AESA radar able to track up to 15 targets simultaneously with Track-while-scan technology and look-down-shoot-down capability. its single seat, frameless cockpit is advanced yet simple to learn and use to enable proper function even under the pressure of combat situations. The Pikeminnow also has three interlinked SAS units to allow the aircraft to perform post-stall maneuvers. The propulsion unit received a major ovehaul. The intake area was increased, going from a pair of small ramp intakes to a single, larger shock cone system. The pikeminnow is powered by a single KS35-E1 afterburning turbofan pushing 94 kN of thrust, as opposed to the Mk.2's J-404. The total wing area was also decreased and a LERX was installed to make the Pikeminnow mk.3SM2 a compact yet deadly aircraft.

The triggerfish lineup is an icon in the world of fighter development for containing some of the best combat aircraft out there, and this latest installment continues that legacy. Everything has been simplified and slimmed down from the preceding Triggerfish Mk.2APEX. The empennage and canards were reworked for increased authority and the radar and primary flight control systems were also improved. the result is an agile, fast, and capable aircraft that balances supermaneuverability with energy retention. The Triggerfish's high TWR (Thrust-to-weight ratio) allows for it to carry a substantial amount of air-to-air and/or air-to-ground munitions, and its built-in preinstalled torrent kinetics SM-k315 25mm autocannon will make quick work of those who stray too near. the AIMBOT computer was also reworked, with improved all-around cg tracking technology, aim assist, decreased missile locking time, automatic countermeasure deployment, and PBR-sys (PitBull Redirect System), which allows the triggerfish to redirect an incoming radar-guided missile back towards the firing aircraft.

the triggerfish mk.1xr mod.1 is definitely the most feared combat aircraft ever produced by river dynamics. the triggerfish lineup is known for containing the deadliest fighters out there, and this is by far the most powerful. its thrust and maneuverability are unparalleled, and its acceleration is incredible. the mod.1 variant features numerous improvements over the original triggerfish mk.1xr. engine pre-coolers were used to protect against flameouts from performing post stall maneuvers, and the reaction wheel matrix system was toned down for better control. the entire aircraft has an incredible docile yet percise flying experience -- it'll go where you want and will not bite. its high alpha performance is unmatched, and the Aimbot v.2.03.s system will ensure that you hit every shot, every time. its countermeasures render it nearly untouchable by enemy fire, and if worst comes to worst, the triggerfish has an incredibly high top speed of nearly mach 3, allowing it to outrun most missiles. the numbers are there to prove it too. over the span of six months, triggerfish were credited with shooting down nearly 32 enemy aircraft, and on october 3, 2023, became the first ever aircraft to shoot down an N.A. Mk.2X high supermaneuverable fighter. its high weapons load capability along with high loiter time allows the triggerfish to remain airborne for extended periods of time. the triggerfish mk.1xr mod.1 is the pinnacle of river dynamics' air superiority engineering so far.

Probably the most terrifying aircraft we've ever made. I'm serious. Don't even try to mess with her, just calmly walk away. God forbid you should make eye contact with her, because at that point not even he can save you. She's a streamlined, precision-honed apex predator, and you're nothing to her but another kill to add to her ever-growing total. Penny doesn't know mercy, neither does she believe in surrender. She won't stop until you're dead. I once saw her rip someone apart just because she felt like it. Penny isn't quick about it either, she'll make you suffer while she bides her time, enjoying every excruciating minute. Likes bloodworms and peas. Also very pink :P
