GI-JOE Conquest X-30A

The Conquest is a perfect example of aerial engineering marvel. While other forward-swept wing aircraft languish in the drawing boards and prototype stage, the Conquest managed to move beyond testing phases and become approved for regular military use. The Joe Team is just fortunate enough to get first dibs to try out this aerial wonder.

The maximum weight that the Conquest can fly at full load is 31,000 lbs. Its engines still lets it reach speeds of up to 1600mph (Mach 2.42) and a range of 1200 miles. There are two drop tanks that can carry up to 300 gallons of extra fuel to reach an additional 40% range. Offensive capabilities include 25mm Vulcans and four AIM Light Sparrow missiles. The computer guidance system is one of the most sophisticated in the world and remains one of the most closely guarded secrets. The pilot's seat is also amazingly ergonomic, allowing the maximum working condition to perform aerial feats.

It looks quite a lot like the Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut.

Only one thing you left off the specs; cost per unit, because if GI Joe is using it, there's bound to be replacements needed to replace their mind-boggling combat loses...otherwise...gorgeous redux as usual.
