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 X-302
