Aerotech Hydroburst

The Aerotech Hydroburst was an Edropian naval fighter used by the Edropian Air Force on aircraft carriers during the Great Laraniem War. It was a variant of the Fireburst and meant to replace the Goodwin W3 as a naval fighter to bring naval aircraft to the same standard as other aircraft. The Hydroburst was the second most produced Edropian aircraft after the Fireburst and had three different versions built of it, Mk I in 1937, Mk II in 1940 and Mk III in 1943.
