X-302 hyperspace fighter



The X-302 hyperspace fighter was Earth's second attempt at constructing a combat-capable spacecraft, developed using recovered alien technology at Area 51.

Overview
Unlike its predecessor, the X-301 Interceptor, the craft was built entirely using technology developed on Earth or reverse-engineered from Goa'uld equipment. While its overall shape was still reminiscent of the Goa'uld Death Glider that had been modified into the X-301, the X-302 was powered by a pair of impulse engines with modified aerospikes for use at high altitude, plus a rocket booster for use in outer space. (Unlike other Earth jet fighters, the X-302 incorporated inertial dampers that allowed the pilot to accelerate and maneuver much more sharply without fear of blacking out.) Also, the craft incorporated a Naquadria-based hyperspace window generator, intended to make it Earth's first interstellar vehicle. Apparently the X-302 had weapons as well; whether or not these corresponded to the armament of the production-model F-302 fighter-interceptors is unclear.
