The Kuthern Hurricane is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole fighter. The Hurricane was designed originally as an air superiority fighter and is manufactured by a consortium of Bershaneef, Airtrain, and kAE Systems that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company.

The Kuthern Hurricane is a highly agile aircraft, designed to be a supremely effective dogfighter in combat. Later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with an increasing number of different armaments and equipment, including Storm Shadow and the RKAF's Krimstone. The Hurricane had its combat debut during the 2008 military intervention in Atiland with the Royal Kuthern Air Force, performing aerial reconnaissance and ground-strike missions. The type has also taken primary responsibility for air-defence duties for the majority of customer nations.
