AV-49 Wasp

The AV-49 Attack VTOL, commonly referred to as the Wasp, is a VTOL aircraft in service with the United Nations Space Command. The AV-49 shares several similarities with its fellow aerodyne brethren, the AV-14 Hornet, AV-19 SkyHawk, AV-22 Sparrowhawk, and AV-30 Kestrel. The AV-49 features an integrated VTOL propulsion system that combines a turbojet with dual lift fans, autocannon armament, and cyberlink-compatible fly-by-light avionics.

The AV-49 Wasp was developed alongside the STINGER-class Mjolnir. While exact details about it remain unknown, the Stinger armor has two neural interface controllers to allow the operator to switch from air attack to ground attack, suggesting that the craft possesses two modes of operation and can change from one to the other.
