The Easun Industria J52 Arcángel (Carlosian: archangel) is a heavily armed tiltwing gunship and close air support based off of the D97 Cormorant transport aircraft. As a tiltwing aircraft, it is able to rotate its wings either horizontally or vertically, making it fully capable of VTOL operations. This ability gives it many advantages over comparable attack aircraft like the Lockheed AC-130, including the ability to hover and land or take off in areas that lack a runway for conventional planes.
Its primary armament is a two-barrelled 105 mm howitzer located in a turret at the rear of the aircraft, which can be used either as a means of fire support or as a mobile artillery piece. Other armaments include dual 20 mm three-barrelled autocannons, and hardpoints that can be fitted with a variety rocket pods, missiles or gunpods.
