Hearthia Announces Airforce Overhual
Over the past few years, Hearthia has found itself embroiled in numerous conflicts around Kerbin. During these battles, the Hearthian Airforce has proved its worth over and over again. After a final show of force over what was once Frigonia, the aircraft flown by Hearthia for the past decade are being largely retired in favor of newer designs.
With the assistance of our allies in Elohim, and the Voley Union, the surviving Outer Wilds Ventures engineers have begun the work on the next generation of Hearthian Aircraft.
Hourglass Twins C

The Hourglass Twins line of aircraft is getting a new entry in the form of the C model. Airframe changes have allowed this craft to improve its maneuverability and energy retention. These changes are made to better help the Hourglass Twins aircraft survive in contested airspace. The "Panther" engines have also been upgraded to improve performance.
A prototype to convert the Hourglass Twins into a missile truck for Air Superiority and Escort duties is in the works but the theory has yet to be proven.
Dark Bramble L

This is a further iteration on the proven "Dark Bramble" platform. This light fighter will continue its Air Superiority and Escort duties, but look better doing so with its brand new tail assembly!
Dark Bramble Mk2 B

After witnessing the effectiveness of lighter twin engine aircraft over Basil, Hearthian engineers have been hard at work designing Hearthia's brand new* air superiority fighter. The Dark Bramble Mk2 B is in fact a new(ish) design, with the bias for known wing designs and doctrine leading to a very familiar silhouette. As a result, this airframe has been dubbed the "Dark Bramble Mk2" (electric boogaloo)
While no mk2s have entered service yet, it is expected that first deliveries to operational squadrons will take place in 2216.
Below all three prototypes can be seen flying in formation over Hearthia's coastline.

The final aircraft is the Interloper Mk2

With the deployment to Norvek in 2211, the need to more efficient refueling craft was made abundantly clear the the Hearthian Airforce. The change of powerplant in the Interloper allowed for an increase in the fuel volume available while also increasing range and loiter time.
