The J 36 Falke (hawk) was a Melasian fighter aircraft of the first half of the 20th century. It was designed by Erich Krammer and produced by the Melasian aviation company Arsenal. The aircraft is remarkable for being Melasia's first domestically designed and produced fighter aircraft and the first non-Berean type of combat aircraft to exceed speeds of 400 km/h (200 kn) in a straight level flight. The J 36 was of a mixed semi-monocoque and stressed skin design, built mostly of wood and fabric, with metal used in vital points of the structure like the engine cowling and the rudder fin joint.
