The 118 sports an internal bay with storage for up to 8 missiles, two 500 kg bombs, or one nuclear missile. It has a radar and is armed with pair of 37mm conventional cannon in wing mounts.

Stealth characteristics are good but partially compromised the excessive stabilizer count. B&K will "reticify" this issue in following aircraft.

It has a high p/w however allowing short take offs. Handling at all speeds is dependable and reliable, a large cockpit is also noted. B&K is willing to sell the aircraft to the AIF as a training aircraft.

"The characteristics of the 118 allow for new pilots to better appreciate the true maneuverability and force of a fighter, whilst not introducing them to the negatives it introduces. However it's lower speed and Mach performance greatly impacts it's chance of ever being a true fighter"

A news leak has reported that the 118 is able to land, take off from, and sit in water. So far B&K has shunned the rumours, though pictures are beginning to surface.
