The Daitōjin Aerospace Industry
Daitō:
THE DAITŌJIN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY The Daitōjin Aerospace Industry has thrived since before the Great War. Though it saw difficulties in the late 1940s and early 1950s, during which time the Empire devoted itself to rebuilding, it was revived as cold war-era tensions arose, rising like a phoenix to reclaim its place in a world of giants. Companies such as Aizawa-Shinoda, Zayasu, and Negishi have become well-regarded for their innovative designs and cutting-edge hardware, while newer companies aim to carve their own space in the international market.
It should be noted that, while the primary focus of this thread is on military aircraft, room has also been made for civilian vehicles, for the discerning customer of course.Templates

Can carry LANTIRN, AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR, or LITENING podsCost~$29 millionBackgroundThe J-8 Hawk, alternatively known as the Ki-311, was originally designed as an air-superiority day fighter as part of the "Versatile Lightweight Fighter Program", or "VLF Program", however, it would later evolve into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. The initial variant, the J-8A (Ki-311 Ko), entered service in 1978, with the aircraft continuing to see active use into the modern day, albeit with significant upgrades. The J-8 has seen success among foreign air forces, albeit renamed while in service with them.

Designed with stealth in mindCost$120 million (NOT FOR EXPORT)BackgroundThe J-19 Viper (Ki-400) is Daitō's first true stealth fighter as well as its third or fourth (depending on if you count the R-3 or not) stealth aircraft to enter military service in the country. Designed in the 1990s, it entered service in 2005 and has seen combat over the Ardian Peninsula and Kalasin. Originally, the IDAF had intended to procure close to 600 J-19s, however, due to both a lack of serious competition, as well as the Financial Crisis, this order was cut back to merely 120 airframes. The last J-19 was delivered in 2014.

Can carry LANTIRN, AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR, or LITENING podsCost$56 millionBackgroundThe J-10 is a derivative of the J-8 designed to fit the niche of a strike fighter. It features a cranked delta wing, granting it improved range, payload capacity, and handling at subsonic speeds. While initial variants lacked it, the modern J-10 is capable of supercruise.

Stealth AircraftCost$75 millionBackgroundSince the late 80s, the Imperial Marines had been studying the feasibility of a next-generation replacement for its Vulture family of fighters. The Marines, or more correctly, the Naval Landing Corps, preferred that this platform feature VLO features alongside other emerging technologies, but it an absolute requirement that it be capable of short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). Aizawa-Shinoda spearheaded the JAST-M program, offering a single-engine YJ-18-like airframe with a novel lift-fan STOVL system. A working prototype, the XJV-20, made its historic first flight on the 27th of May, 2000. This was followed by intensive testing which led to several redesigns and its infamous "probation phase" in the later part of the 2000s. In hindsight, the "Krait" has proven to be the most troublesome of the JAST fighters developed, nearly facing cancellation on numerous occasions. Regardless, the aircraft was a tall order in itself. The lift-fan system, supersonic ability and stealth have made the JV-20 a highlight of modern aviation, one which has left the IDNLC more than pleased.
