F/A-26B | VTOL VR Edit

The F/A-26 Wasp is a carrier-based, air-superiority aircraft that can be fitted for ground operations. Originally developed in 2023 by McDonnell Douglas (Boeing), the original “A” model has since been replaced by the newer “B” model, developed in 2025, which features a new radar (The AN/APG-75), a new, exclusive version of the AIM-120 (the AIM-120C-8), and variable geometry air intakes. The aircraft also features an all-in-one situational awareness, navigation, and Datalink display (the Garmin-54MNAV). In addition to technological updates, the “B” model comes standard with modifications from 2024’s Pilot Improved Morale Program (PIMP) that adds several quality-of-life features for the pilot. The Wasp is fitted with 5 underbelly hardpoints and 8 wing-mounted hardpoints for mounting munitions, totaling 13. The AN/AAQ-28 Targeting Pod can also be mounted externally without the use of a weapons hardpoint.
