The EAC F-4 Shinden II ("Magnificent Lightning II") is a 4.5-Generation Multirole Fighter produced by the Emperor Aviation Company for the Imperial Ōroran Air Force. It was developed as part of Ōrora's Ōroran Advanced Strike Fighter Program and named after the original Shinden that was partially developed in the 1940s by the same company. It features a unique vertical twin-engine design with variable-geometry wings and serves as the IOAF's advanced multirole weapons platform.
