Edravia Typhoon

The Edravia Typhoon was an Edropian fighter aircraft used after the Great Laraniem War. It was the last propeller-driven aircraft to serve in the Edropian Air Force and the first military aircraft produced by Edravia. Despite its relatively short time in service, its capabilities were impressive, the Typhoon being one of the fastest production single reciprocating engine aircraft ever built, securing Edravia a position as supplier for the Edropian Air Force. Two versions of the Typhoon were built, with Mk II being introduced in 1949.
