of new aircraft. We will be designing these ourself, we are just announcing it.


Long-range Light Bomber
-Must have endurance of at least two hours, forty-five minutes
-Must have at least 500 kilograms of bomb capacity
Extremely simple to produce trainer/basic attack aircraft
-Must have two seats
-Must be cheap
-Must be easy to fly
-Must have some type of armament
Fighter-Bomber
-Must have a machinegun
-Must have at least 50 kilograms of bomb capacity
-Must have a top speed of at least 160 km/h
Sea-plane fighter-bomber
-Must be compact to allow it to be stowed aboaard ships
-Must have floats and wheels
-Must have at least 10kg of bomb capacity
-Must have a machinegun
-Must have a top speed of at least 150 km/h


(Please note: We play late 1800s to early 1900s tech level. Actually, aircraft design is one of our more advanced areas.)

We have completed the design of the fighter-bomber.

Osprey Fighter-Bomber

The specifications are below:

Crew: 2
Powerplant: 97kw
Weight: 570kg empty, 975 maximum takeoff
Top Speed: 164 km/h
Service Ceiling: 3960 meters
Range: 565 km
Wingspan: 10.21 Meters
Length: 7.7 Meters
Height: 3.12 Meters
Wing Area: 32.14 meters^2
Armament: 1x Modified Maxim Gun, up to 100kg of bombs. Another modified maxim gun or a small cannon can be put onto a modular mount behind the copilot's seat.

And also the sea-plane fighter-bomber.

Gull Fighter-Bomber

Crew: 1
Powerplant: 74.5kw
Weight: kg empty, 975 maximum takeoff
Top Speed: 148 km/h (Please note the designers had to settle on a slightly lower speed.)
Service Ceiling: 4600 Meters
Range: 510km
Wingspan: 10.21 Meters
Length: 7.7 Meters
Height: 3.12 Meters
Wing Area: 32.14 meters^2
Armament: 1x Modified Maxim Gun, up to 10 kilograms of bombs, and a torpedo.

(Hm, interesting. Keep it up and you mighr find markets on the New Eastgate continent, I should think. There's trouble brewing.)

OOC: Well, I have a storefront where I already sell a rifle, a pistol, two models of maxim guns, a recon aircraft, a utility aircraft, and a cargo aircraft. All at the same tech level as these. Are you at tthis tech level?

(Erm, sort of. Our technologies are a little jumbled- frankly in practice we're behind our knowledge, if that makes sense, largely due to poverty. Also the fear that New Eastgate would invade if we became too powerful.)
