Description
In the alternate history created by theschell this is the replacement for the F-14 Tomcat.

Built by Earth Avionics in the late 80s as a replacement for the aging F-14 Tomcat being phased out of service, the VT-1 is a swing-wing, air superiority fighter. Equipped with greatly improved avionics, advanced radar systems and a host of other upgrades, the VT-1 Supercat was the last conventional fighter to enter military service prior to the discovery of the Solinoid threat. The VT-1 also has the distinction of being one of the first full production aircraft to feature thrust vectoring, allowing it a much greater range of manoeuvrability than earlier aircraft.

The Supercat would go on to serve as a test-bed for the first Variable Geometry Fighters to be built from recovered Solinoid technology. The VGF-14 Wildcat concept was designed on the VT-1 air-frame, and Supercats were used extensively to test various systems destined for the VGF development program. It would be used to test radar and electronic systems, as well as systems relating to the transformation of the VGF in flight. In addition the VT-1 would also be used to test modifications to flight control surfaces and engine components for the Wildcat.
