The '''Mondragón F19 Santana''' is a 4.5-generation, single-engine, supersonic multirole fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by Mondragón Heavy Industries. Designed to replace several third-generation jet fighters in service with the Carlosian Air Force, it was concieved as a cheaper, though equally versatile complement to the larger [[Mondragón F17 Mediator|F17 Mediator]] air superiority fighter. The F19 is the second most numerous fighter in the Carlosian Air Force, with 792 planes in active service across 33 squadrons as of 2019. The first prototype flew in March 2007, officially entering service in August 2011. A limited number of planes have been built for export to allied countries.

Since entering service, the F19 has recieved upgrades and been developed into several variants. Its design was heavily influenced by the older and larger [[Mondragón F17 Mediator|F17 Mediator]] air superiority fighter, with a similiar delta-canard configuration and many interchangeable parts. It is powered by a domestically produced MGED Eléctrico afterburning turbofan.
