The Actaeon Ac-16 Vampire is a twin-engine stealth multirole fighter aircraft developed by Actaeon Industries. It is the product of the Super Generation Aircraft Initiative, which was initially a Velikoslav project that was brought under the scope of the multinational development network of Actaeon in order to reduce overall development costs and subsidize production.

The Ac-16 is to serve as the eventual basis for the development of a series of aircraft incorporating stealth technology and other advanced technologies such as Velikoslav Process 1 RCS Reduction Coating, Latin Velox turbofans, and advanced Belfrasian airframe construction technologies.

A 5th-generation multirole fighter capable of aerial combat as well as ground and maritime strike, the Ac-16 incorporates stealth, supermaneuverability, supercruise, integrated avionics, and large internal payload capacity. The aircraft is expected to replace many older aircraft such as the many Ishikov aircraft of the 20th century in Velikoslav service.
