So that being said, say hello to the S-53X Experimental, the prototype for the S-53D and F/A-53D
Sporting a large one piece canopy long enough to fit two crew without crunching them, a brand new composite aero-elastic wing, a centerline internal weapons bay, and a vast array of sensors dedicated to air to ground combat. However, don't be fooled. This aircraft may be designed to lug bombs and also may suffer from a slower cruise and top speed, but this plane can turn as tight as needed in order to keep up with the most agile of fighters.
Of course the single seater will also be used, but that will wait as the two seater can swap parts to the single seat aircraft to help with upgrading the model.
