The Layartebian Defense Corporation F-28 Viper is a twin-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally designed for the Imperial Layartebian Military. More Vipers have been produced than any other supersonic, Layartebian, jet fighter. The Viper is an all-weather, 4.5 generation aircraft similar to the Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon.

The Viper's key features include a frameless, bubble canopy for superior visibility, a side-mounted control stick and throttle, dual engines, and a large, delta wing. The aircraft makes heavy use of fly-by-wire systems, making it a highly agile aircraft, especially when combined with thrust vectoring engines. The fighter has an internal cannon and 14 hardpoints for air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance.

The Viper is the most numerous fighter in Layartebian service and it is the most exported Layartebian fighter aircraft of all time. The Viper forms the backbone of several foreign air forces and navies.
