The Future of
Fast Jet Fleets

As nations replace ageing fast‑jet fleets under tighter requirements, demand is rising for capable, affordable, and adaptable aircraft. AERALIS meets this need through a modular, digitally integrated system that is scalable, cost‑efficient, and designed to reduce the burden of operating multiple traditional platforms.

By combining proven technologies with modular engineering, open systems architecture and a fully digital enterprise backbone, AERALIS offers a lower‑risk, faster, and more economical route to advanced fast-jet training and operational support, strengthening national control and enabling a more resilient, future‑ready fleet.

The AERALIS Family

AERALIS’s system is built on a Common Core Fuselage (CCF) – a central structural backbone that remains constant across all variants – which is then combined with different wing, cockpit, empennage, tail assembly, air intakes, engine nacelle modules and mission systems to deliver a family of aircraft variants covering the widest spectrum of missions all with unprecedented levels of commonality.

These variants include:

  • Basic Jet Trainer
  • Advanced Jet Trainer
  • Display
  • Aggressor
  • Surrogate/Companion
  • Light Attack
  • Uncrewed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
  • Uncrewed Tactical air-to-air refuelling tanker
