The F/A-259 Striker combines the robustness and effectiveness of its successful predecessor, the L-159 Alca, with the most modern advances in avionics and aircraft systems technology. Powered by the same Honeywell F124 engine and using benefits of a wet wing, F/A-259 Striker provides enhanced performance, great maneuverability, and a high range.
