Shinsei Industries' prototype AVF (Advanced Variable Fighter) for the Supernova Project. Unlike the previous VF units, the YF-19 uses variable geometry wings (swept forward by default; can be swept back to achieve higher speeds) for better maneuverability at high-speeds. Equipped with a high-caliber gun pod, a whole arsenal of missiles and an extremely durable shield, the YF-19 is the deadliest in its class.

Special cameras within the fuselage give the pilot a complete view of his surroundings through the unit's multiview cockpit. And unlike VF units before it, the YF-19 is capable of executing a space fold on its own with the use of a special booster.
