The Sparrowhawk has design elements from a mixture of modern VTOL aircraft, most prominently the Harrier Jump-Jet, and attack helicopter gunships such as the AH64 Apache, and the ~~Osprey~~. It also bears a marked resemblance to the ORCA Gunship from rival RTS Command and Conquer 3. It consists of an elongated fuselage with stubby wings on each side of it. The cockpit is forward mounted, and the tail section juts out from behind the fuselage at a downward angle. Each wing incorporates a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ducted_fan Ducted Air Fan] for lift and thrust, and carries three missiles/rockets on pylons on each wing. Each wing also carries a twin autocannon, with a dual machine cannon mounted underneath the cockpit.
