The Vofesip is a Kyrasi family of supersonic twin-engine, variable-sweep wing, multi-role combat aircraft designed for air superiority, strike missions, tactical bombing, and reconnaissance. It also has electronic warfare, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities. Vivi Aerospace is the prime Vofesip contractor with principal partners Abarc-Abdallah and KAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) T-3WHA, the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) T-3WHB, and the carrier-based (CV/CATOBAR) T-3WHC.
The aircraft descends from the T-2WH Vofesip, which descends from the T-WH Vofesip which descends from the ZT-WH Vofesip. In 1972, the ZT-WH Vofesip beat the Abarc-Abdallah Z-32 to win the [[wikiepdia:Joint Strike Fighter program|Join Strike Fighter program] (JSF) intended to replace several strike fighters. The ZT-HW Vofesip was developed and built by Vivi Aerospace in 1970 and first flew on 14 August 1974 and was introduced into service in 1979 until developing into the T-3WH. Due to its multirole design, it was able to replace several different types of aircraft in the adopting air forces. A training and evaluation unit operating from RAF Alcabyo, the Regional Vofesip Training Establishment, maintained a level of international co-operation beyond the production stage.
