The FA6 is an advanced turboprop fighter/bomber and training aircraft used by the Kumlarin Nation of the Republic of Samensha (now the Shershaw Reclamation Government) for counter-insurgency/anti-piracy operations and training. The design is noted for its unique pusher design that gives an unimpeded field of fire in front of the aircraft. Canards provide a relatively stable platform. Observers pointed out that the plane had excellent control until its stall speed and could accelerate rapidly to its modest top speed of around 600kph. Though this configuration is stable, the tall landing gear and rear-mounted propeller are known for making things difficult on landing, requiring higher speeds and shallower angles than what pilots would have preferred. 

Technically, the plane is a result of attempting to min-max performance and putting complexity only into needed parts. An interesting design decision is its exhaust is located in its winglets, which also double as rudders designed to eliminate the need for an anti-icing system on the main wings. This gives the aircraft a unique whistling exhaust note, though this is often overshadowed at maximum power with continuous sonic booms emanating from the prop. Still, this quirk only appears under emergency power when the nitrous system is engaged. The equivalent 5,000ps turboprop power is fed via a shaft to a gearbox that spins counter-rotating propellers. Fuel is a kerosene analog.

The plane also contains notable Kumlarin technology that was innovative before the arrival of the Teshkava, such as its nose-mounted radar and vacuum tube computer system computer system used for its 4x 21mm cannons. Additionally, the aircraft could carry a large ordinance load, and its ballistic computer could calculate landing points based on predetermined ranges. Later models even gained the ability to shoot the AM9 IR air-to-air missile. Additionally, it contained an early instrument landing system and an electroluminescent gauge cluster that replaced radium dials and lights. All in all, before the cataclysm, this was one of the finest Kumlarin attack aircraft.
