The Easun Industria J52 Arcángel (Carlosian: archangel) is a tilt-wing heavy gunship based off of the XX transport aircraft. As a tilt-wing aircraft, it is able to rotate its wings either horizontally or vertically, making it fully capable of vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) 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. It also possesses superior fuel efficiacy and range when compared to a conventional helicopter gunship.
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.
