Overview:
Sharing many design elements from its speculated predecessor, the ADFX-01/02 Morgan, the ADF-01 Falken is considered to be an extended outgrowth of the latter. Seen as early as 1998 in a UCAV configuration, the design history of the aircraft is still relatively unknown for the most part and most data pertaining to the Falken is either speculation or from unofficial sources and sightings.
Featuring an obscure airframe design which is loosely based on the Morgan's basic profile. The aircraft has various integrated stealth components and several advanced technologies. Including its defining feature, the 360 Degree Cockpit interface, which gives the pilot an immense advantage in combat via full view of his surroundings. This enables optimum combat performance and gives it a lethal edge in a dogfight.
Most of the Falken's conventional weapons are stored in several weapon bays located throughout the fighter and the plane boasts a similar overall payload to the F-22A. The plane is also capable of carrying a myriad of special weapons like Long Range Missiles and FAE's. The ADF-01 can also be equipped with the TLS, which is placed on the aircraft's "mouth". The Falken's TLS module is essentially a vast improvement over the Morgan's and makes the fighter virtually impossible to take down. The range is almost doubled from its predecessor and versions have a red or blue tint to the beam.
The ADF-01 also shares many design elements (airframe shape and cockpit design) with later aircraft like Necuom's R-101 Delphinus series, suggesting their common ancestry to the Falken.
