Fighta

Orks Portal

Ork Fightas are the smallest type of aircraft produced by Ork Mek Boyz, used for dog-fighting and ground attack.

Fightas are built for speed and firepower, typically carrying Big Shootas and a small wing of bombs and rockets. Despite its crude design, a Fighta is easily a match for any Imperial Navy fighter and its engine is remarkably effective, capable of producing a huge amount of thrust. Ork Fighta Pilots love nothing more then to fly in close to enemy aircraft and tear it apart with hail of dakka.^[1]

Fightas also incorporate two vector engine nozzles that can change the aircrafts direction by diverting some of the engine's thrust. This throws the Fighta violently into its new heading, a feature that appeals to the Ork pilot.^[6]
