The Latin Air Force (Latin: Classis Aris), also known as the Imperial Air Force, is the aerial arm of the Latin Armed Forces. Latium had long been involved in military aviation. However, its first employment of air power on a major scale was during the Social War and subsequent conflicts, during which aircraft such as the Centaurus and Sagittarius fighters, as well as Accipter bombers, were used to deadly effect.

In the second half of the twentieth century, the Imperial Air Force relied on a mixture of foreign fighters and domestic attack aircraft, including the F-104S, Aigios Ifrit, G.91 and the AMX. Recently, Latium has become a major partner in the United Fighters Consortium to develop and field a pair of tactical aircraft which would become the mainstay of its air power in the 21st century: the UFC Tempest 4.5-generation fighter and the UFC F-29 Hurricane 5th-generation fighter.
