** Other Ace Combat titles have their share of Cool Planes; recurring examples are the XFA-27A, the X-02 Wyvern, and the ADF-01 FALKEN. Other games in the series have had Cool Planes that only appeared in a single title.

* The \\\'\\\'VideoGame/AirForceDelta\\\'\\\' series has its own share of both real and fictional cool planes and--unusual for a flight sim shooter--features Chinese fighter designs.
* SkyCrawlers: Innocent Aces, from the developers of AceCombat, has several Cool prop planes, with special honors going to the Sanka M-B.

* Any of the \\\"superfighters\\\" of the \\\'\\\'VideoGame/WingCommander\\\'\\\' series, and arguably some of the non-super variety as well.
* And speaking of fighters reverse-engineered from alien craft, there\\\'s also the \\\'\\\'{{Raiden}}\\\'\\\' from the same-titled series of shooters.
* The Arwings from \\\'\\\'VideoGame/StarFox\\\'\\\'.
* The [[SteamPunk Steam]][=/=]DieselPunk mini-flyers used by the heroes in \\\'\\\'VideoGame/SkyGunner\\\'\\\'.
