Notes:
The Pas 41 is a super manuverable, purpose built, low observability V/STOL strike and fighter aircraft designed for use from light carriers in support of marine landings or to provide air support for battleships.

The design was influenced by the F-35B JSF, YF-23 Black Widow, Yak-141 and Rafale. The aircraft has a smaller radar signature then the JSF, mainly due to it's flatter design.

This design, designated FV-27 Manta Ray in Haaregradian service operates from Fortress class battleships and from Wasp(modified) class amphibious assault carriers.

With slight modifications to the software installed the aircraft can fire Western or indiginous weapons. The NATOized version fires the AIM-9M/N Sidewinder, AIM-132 ASRAAM, Manta Magic, AIM-7F Sparrow(external only), Skyflash(external only), AIM-120C AMRAAM, and almost all other Western munitions.

Before we will make our purchase, we need to ask, can this be modified to carry Western munitions (AMRAAM/Sidewinder, Maverick/JSOW/etc, or even JDAM or CBU-87)?

Money wired, thank you.

We will most likely to use them on the dreadnoughts, and our STOVL carriers. Time to replace the old Harriers.

I leased some FV-35(F-35B) JSFs as a stopgap, but I feel these are alot better.

How much for a non-resale construction contract so I don't have to track you down everytime I want to build one? If possible....

OOC: I never did like that high rpm shaft that Mcdonald Douglass came up with...makes the engineer in me crawl

$500 million or $1 000 000 per airframe, whichever is cheeper for you.

The lift-fan could be replaced with two small lift jets wthout too much difficulty.

I'll buy production rights for 500 million. However this licence is both for Alcona and Hubris and the Joint Defense Taskforce of the Federated Klatchian Coast. (not for general sale to the individual state armies...

OOC: Then I would really have the Boing design for the JDF fighter and there is a massive diffrence in terms of VTOL landing and take off between them.

If possible, we would also like the production rights of this aircraft. Of course, we will be paying more, plus some resources rights in Omzian Nation.
