Yes. A single full health Heavy Plane will destroy a singe full health Space Fighter in a duel. This is because the Space Fighter attacks slower than the Heavy Plane, and they both have the same damage output. The Space Fighter may have more health, but this isn't enough to compensate for the slower attack speed in this specific situation.

It takes 74 Space Fighter attacks to destroy a Heavy Plane over the course of 148 seconds.

185 (Heavy Plane health) / 2.5 (Space Fighter damage per attack) = 74

74 * 2 (Space Fighter attack cooldown) = 148

It takes 84 Heavy Plane attacks to destroy a Space Fighter over the course of 147 seconds.

210 (Space Fighter health) / 2.5 (Heavy Plane damage per attack) = 84

84 * 1.75 (Heavy Plane attack cooldown) = 147

Heavy Planes can destroy a full health Space Fighter in 147, and a Space Fighter can destroy a full health Heavy Plane in 148 seconds. This means that a Heavy Plane can destroy a Space Fighter only a second faster than the other way around. Additionally, the Heavy Plane's range is one unit longer than a Space Fighter's range, which guarantees that the Heavy Plane will always fire the first shot.

Even though the difference may be minuscule, it's still enough to make a difference in a one-versus-one situation.
