The XFA-10 Acrux, and its sister, the carrier capable XFA-10B Stingray are a joint project between Australia, Japan, and South Korea to develop a low observable fighter attacker. The Primary customer is the RAAF and RAN, although the IJN and ROKAF has shown interest in the fighter as well.
The XFA has been equipped with cutting edge technology combined with practicality.
The cockpit features all digital anti glare control panels capable of being configured by the pilot. However it hasn't escaped notice that these panels are prone to glitches and problems especially in combat. So necessary flight data (navball, horizon indicator ect) do have analog backups in the form of a “pop up” console.

The left side of the fusealge features a pop out style refueling probe for extended missions and longer duration flights.
Displays and weapons systems are capable of being configured to be used with JHMCS or similar Helmet mounted systems, such as the Dash III.
