The Maroto Botín FA-19 is a Creeperian twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, multirole fighter jet manufactured by the Maroto Botín Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft was designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft and was derived from the Maroto Botín FA-15. Neither Maroto Botín nor the Creeperian government have yet confirmed wether or not the aircraft will be carrier-capable.
Development
On 15 September 2022, the Creeperian government officially announced that the Maroto Botín Aerospace Corporation was developing a new multirole fighter jet derived from the design of the Maroto Botín FA-15. The aircraft was first publicly displayed at the Miguel Martín Cabañeras y Gutiérrez International Airport on 15 September 2023 and it first flew on 18 June 2023 in San Salvador as a part of that year's 18 June Liberation Parade.
The Maroto Botín FA-19 prototype was publicly displayed at the Terraconserva InterArms Exhibition in Fort Handel, New Gandor on 27 September 2023.
The aircraft is expected to enter service with the Creeperian Air Force in 2025.
