The FL4, or ''Fighter, Light, Model 4'', was the fourth dedicated jet fighter design produced by LAAD. Following the disastrous results of the experimental FL2 and FVB3 Programs, the FL4 was designed as a dedicated jet fighter specializing in air-to-air roles, intended to be competitive against extremely agile aircraft. Although more heavily armed, faster and better constructed than the [[LAAD FL1 Sparrow|FL1 Sparrow]], the FL4 was larger, heavier and less maneuverable than the aircraft it was intended to replace. Combined with these flaws, the FL4's usage of then-unproven and unreliable air-to-air missiles severely limited its dogfight performance. These teething troubles limited the plane's deployment in combat and ultimately doomed the project. Considering the goals of the FL4 program, the Skychariot is seen as a failure. The aircraft achieved only a few combat victories and reached an early retirement. The roles the FL4 was intended to fill were then replaced by foreign-built [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-15_Eagle F-15's] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-21 MiG-21s], and later extended-lifetime FL1s; the very aircraft it was designed to replace. ==Gallery== <gallery> LAADFL4F.png|Front View LAADFL4R.png|Rear View LAADFL4C.png|Cockpit SkychariotsOverhead.png|Newly-delivered FL4s fly over Monitor Ships of the LERN </gallery> ==Design Information== The FL4 is based off of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-100_Canuck Avro Canuck] [[Category:Air-Vehicles]] [[Category:Admiral Leviathan's Builds]]
