XF-04 Hake

Summary
The Hake is technology demonstrator designed to explore the concepts of supermaneuverability, being designed with both relaxed stability, all-moving canards and tail surfaces, and thrust vectoring motorjet propulsion. Although its existence have been known of for some time, it is unclear whether the effort is considered a success or failure by the Steel Striders. However, the addition of missile rails under the fuselage suggests that the XF-04 may itself be put into series production.
