Atlas Carver

The Atlas Carver (commonly known as CAVA) was a projected multi-role fighter designed by the South African Atlas in order to replace the aging fleet of Blackburn Buccaneer, English Electric Canberra and Dassault Mirage III that were still in service with the South African Air Force during the 1980s.
Initially the Cheetah was just an interim solution until this airplane, the Carver would have entered service, which was expected at the late 1990s. It was necessated by the UN arms embargo against South Africa due to the apartheid.

It was officialy cancelled in 1991 when the president F.W. de Klerk announced it's cancellation together with the South African nuclear programme. Approximately 10 billion rands were spent on the project as well as a mock-up system placement. It's said that wind tunnel tests and a host related work was completed and everything points that the construction of a prototype had started or was about to start.

Even if there aren't official concepts or conceptual work available for the public, there are some very plausible models and blueprints made by enthusiasts all over the internet and we decided to catch one of them. It would've resembled to the Mirage 2000, Mirage 4000 and Rafale.

It was designed to be a fly-by-wire unstable composed by a large percentage of composites.
