    The F-302 Fighter is a fictional spacecraft in the science fiction television show, Stargate SG-1. It is the production model of the X-302 prototype and the first production series craft using reverse-engineered knowledge of alien technology.

    F-302 Overview
    Like its counterpart, the Goa'uld Death Glider, the F-302 is an unshielded, two-seat strike craft. Since Earth's technology is still less advanced than that of the Goa'uld, the F-302 is slower and less maneuverable than a glider, even though (or perhaps because) it possesses three different sets of sublight engines. However, one F-302 was still able to evade and defeat several squadrons of gliders.GateWorld Omnipedia (F-302) It is even bigger than a Glider. Some development work on the F-302 was shifted to the private sector such as the multi engine control systems, which were designed by Colson Aviation. | Transcript The X-302 prototype also possessed a fourth engine, a hyperspace window generator (or more colloquially, a hyperdrive), which was the smallest of its kind due to its use of naqahdriah instead of the more-stable but less-powerful naqahdah. Unfortunately, the 302's hyperdrive engine currently does not work as intended, due to instability caused by the naqahdriah. The hyperdrive is only capable of short range tactical jumps. | Transcript Production models are known to still be equipped with hyperdrives. Furthermore, its inertial dampener is only ninety percent effective when pulling negative G's. | Transcript Also, the F-302's have a magnetic clamping landing gear system which allows them to clamp onto the hulls of ships.

    Since Earth's efforts to create a directed energy weapon have so far proven unsuccessful, the F-302 is armed solely with a payload of modified air-to-air missiles. These modified AIM-120 AMRAAMs have a warhead enhanced with naqahdah and a shield modulator, which in theory allows the missile to bypass shields. | Transcript The shield modulator proved ineffective against the Ori shields on the satellite weapon in the episode "Ethon". F-302s are also apparently armed with a pair of projectile cannons (though of an unspecified caliber and type), as seen in the Stargate Atlantis Season Two episode "The Intruder".

    The F-302's first combat mission took place in the Stargate SG-1 episode , when it was flown by Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter in a strike against Anubis mothership. In the episode , several squadrons of F-302s commanded by Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell escorted the Prometheus to Antarctica, where they defended the cargo ship piloted by SG-1 against an attack wave of Al'kesh and Gliders.

    It was discovered in "Ethon" that when an F-302 explodes, it causes an electromagnetic pulse created from the concussive force interfering artificial gravity created by its inertial dampeners.

    The current known bases of F-302s are as follows:


    Former known bases of F-302s are as follows:

    Trivia
      The F-302's have had various call signs including: -

      The 1st SFW "Snakeskinners" are a wing of F-302s in the Milky Way, possibly dedicated to Earth defense. "SFW" likely stands for either "Space Fighter Wing" or "Stargate Fighter Wing".
      The 1st TFW "Wraithwaxers" are stationed aboard ''Daedalus''. "TFW" likely stands for "Tactical Fighter Wing", a term formerly used by the U.S. Air Force.

    X-302






    The X-302 Experimental Fighter was the prototype of the F-302. It resembled the X-301, but was built entirely from Earth-constructed components, using reverse-engineered knowledge of alien technology.

    First seen in , the X-302 has four sets of engines: two traditional jet engines, two aerospike engines, one rocket motor, and a naqahdriah-based hyperspace window generator. Its conventional engines are assisted by an inertial dampening system that allows the craft to achieve orbit. The first prototype was used to save the Earth from Anubis's plot to detonate the Earth Stargate with an Ancient weapon system. Although it was lost in the process and its hyperdrive turned out to be too unstable to use safely, the X-302 was considered a success and went into production as the F-302.

    Trivia
      During O'Neill's and Sam's test flight to Abydos, it was given the callsign "Abydos One."
      During O'Neill's flight out of the Earth's atmosphere with the Stargate, it was given the callsign "Starflight".

    X-301





    The X-301 Experimental Fighter is a fictional spacecraft in the science fiction television show, Stargate SG-1. The X-301 fighter visually resembles a cross between a Goa'uld Death Glider and a Nighthawk Stealth Fighter (F-117).

    Only seen in the episode "Tangent", the X-301 was Earth's first attempt to reverse engineer Goa'uld technology. The initial design of the craft used some components directly from two Death Gliders which almost proved fatal to its passengers when a preprogrammed booby trap sent the craft into outer space during a test flight. After Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c were rescued from the runaway craft during its first test flight, further work on the X-301 prototype was abandoned in favor of the X-302. While the fate of the X-301 craft is unknown, it was most likely left in space.

    Trivia
      During O'Neill's and Teal'c's test flight, it was given the callsign "Digger One".

      Some of the same technicians and scientists who worked on the X-301 also asisted in the repair of a crashed Tel'tak. | Transcript
