Fugaku Heavy Industries

A Japanese industrial corporation, Fugaku HI is also the only company that manufactures Japanese Jump Unit engines for domestic Japanese TSFs. A common trait is that their engines focus on efficiency, at the cost of thrust output.

Fugaku has also license-produced TSFs together with other Japanese companies, usually with Mitsuhishi Heavy Industries and Kawazaki, and has been involved with all major Japanese TSF projects and productions.

Trivia

• The corporation is possibly based on the real-world Fuji Heavy Industries, given the similarities in their Japanese names (Fugaku's 富嶽, which refers to Mount. Fuji, to Fuji's 富士). However, the real-world Fuji H.I.'s involvement in Japanese aerospace is markedly different; it has only manufactured training aircraft so far, not combat-capable jets.
