. "The Cobra Night Raven S3P, or \u201CRaven\u201D as it is more commonly referred to, is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3+ strategic high-altitude attack and reconnaissance aircraft. It is a beautiful sight to observe, as long as it's not attacking you. It is regarded by many to be the most advanced, most powerful aircraft used by either G.I. Joe or Cobra during the course of conflict by both sides. Everything about the aircraft is pure aerodynamic perfection, from its sleek surfaces to its powerful engines. The plane is capable of 2,310 mph (Mach 3.5) making it one of the fastest land based aircraft in the entire world, even faster than the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, upon which the plane is based. The Viper turbo-jets are based around a ram-jet design that only increase in power as the aircraft moves f"@en . "1"^^ . . "Night Raven; Night Raven .jpg"@en . . . . . . . .

The Viper turbo-jets are based around a ram-jet design that only increase in power as the aircraft moves faster. It takes special surgically-altered pilots to fly them, in order for them to survive the high-speeds and incredible G-forces, but there are Cobra jet jockeys lining up for those operations. The Night Raven is capable of taking high-altitude videos and photos, transmitting them back to base, and slipping away unseen by even the most sophisticated surveillance equipment. Even if it is detected During reconnaissance missions, the S3P operates at such high speeds and altitudes that it can outrace most aerial threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch is detected, the standard evasive action is simply to accelerate and out-fly the missile."@en . "Cobra Air Force"@en . . . . . . .
