F-16E/F Supreme Falcon
http://invisionfree.com:54/93/157/upload/p919.jpg

The result of ESAA's "Low cost multi-role fighter programme"

Description
The F-16E is a multi-role fighter that is very capable at both air superiority and ground attack roles. It is a major upgrade on the F-16C/D. It's avionics have been improved, allowing the F-16E to attack effectively beyond visual range. During development, major efforts were sought to keep down the cost of the final product.

Structure
The F-16E is based on the defunct XL that was the competitor to the F-15E strike eagle. The F-16XL airframe was selected based on manuevearbility and its low cost. The airframe differs to the F-16A/B/C/D with respects to the wing. A delta wing is used to reduce drag at supersonic levels. Costs have been kept low without adversely affecting performance. The airframe is mostly aluminium, with around a third made with composites to allow flexibility. The nose and body have also been strengthened for a carrier born derivative.

Powerplant
The F-16E uses ESAA's MX-7 turbofan which is capable of a cruising speed of up to Mach 1.8. 3-D Thrust-vectoring allows the F-16E/F to achieve very tight turns.

Avionics
To save on costs, no new avionics were developed. Instead, ESAA used a 'helmet' system taken from the Mig-29. Wherever the pilot looks, the missile goes. Radar has also been improved. The standard radar on the F-16E is the AN/APG-77 Radar taken from the F-22. Rear facing radar can also be fitted under the fuselage.

Performance
The F-16E is comparable to the Su-27 in terms of dogfighting manueverability, with a 75% rate of success in our tests. However, the F-16E/F is superior to the Su-27 in terms of avionics. During the combat tests the F-16 destroyed 85% of all Su-27s in a long range AMRAAM shoot out, inferior only to the F-22 and the ESAA Millenium fighter.

SFW/F-16

A forward-swept wing derivative of the Supreme Falcon
http://invisionfree.com:54/93/157/upload/p1163.jpg

Similar to F-16E/F in most repects, however the forward-swept wing on the SFW/F-16 gives it much greater manuverability at subsonic and transonic speeds. It is also smaller than the F-16E/F and than even the F-16C/D. The dogfighting performance of this plane is superior to that of the Su-27, achieving a 82% success rate against it in simulations of dogfighting. BVR effectiveness is similar to the F-16E/F. The trade-off for this manuverability is its smaller load, consisting of 6 air-to-air missiles (AMRAAMs or Sidewinders).

Cost:

F-16E/F CTOL - $20m
F-16E/F Carrier derivative - $25m
SFW/F-16 CTOL - $21m

Note: F16F is the 2 seater version, optimised for ground attack.

E/A-16
An electronic warfare version of the F-16E. Constructed in Ell, with electronics of Western-Asia design. It uses the same electronic warfare kit as the Western Asia's EA-18 and is designed for the same role.


The EA-18 will perform full-spectrum electronic surveillance and electronic attack of enemy threat radars and communications nets. The EA-18 leverages the U.S.W.A. Navy's investment in the F/A-18IE/F Super Hornet platform. A derivative of the two-seat F/A-18IF Super Hornet – a platform which is in production today – the EA-18 is a highly flexible design that enables the warfighter to perform a broad range of tactical missions, operating from either the deck of an aircraft carrier or land-based fields. The EA-18 is 99 percent common with the Super Hornet and would be expected to significantly reduce support and training costs for the Western Asian Navy.

The Cost of the E/A-16 package is $8 million

ESA F/A 2000 Millenium Fighter

A forward-swept wing combines with a clean body design to give stealth and excellent manuevrability, scoring 89% success rate against the Su-27 in simulated dogfights. Fitted with state-of-the art avionics, giving it BVR killing prowess and allowing it to have the "first look, first shot, first kill". It scored a high 96% success rate when pitted against the Su-27 in a BVR duel. It's VTOL capabilities give it flexiblity and allows it to operate without a runway, which gives it a tactical advantage since runways are very strategic targets during wartime.

F/A-21B
Based on the airframe of the F/A-21 Sirius with vastly improved BVR capabilities.

The airframe is 2.6m longer, the nosecone is 0.8m longer than the F/A-21A and the wing has 25% more surface area. Compared to the F/A-21A, the B version has longer range, a smaller radar signature, and a larger load. The main differences to the F/A-21A are:

*Up to 12 AAMs
*Ability to carry up to 4 AIM-254 Super Phoenix missiles on fuselage hardpoints
*Ferry range is 5,500km, up from 5,000km
*The AN/APG-77 radar has been replaced with a much more capable radar system, the N-014 phased array with electronically-scanned antenna - capable of simultaneous tracking of 40 and engagement of up to 20 targets with a range of 420km against a fighter sized target.

Cost: $32m

A-14 Warthog
The A-14 is a ground support craft intended to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt and most attack helicopters.

Features:
*STVOL
*Durability
*Cheap
*Self sealing fuel tanks
*Low Maintenance
*IR avionics
*Backup hydralic systems

The A-14 uses one MX-6B turbofan as a powerplant. This is a six nozzle deriative of the four nozzle VTOL turbofan used on the Harrier and the JSF. However, the MX-6B offers distinct advantage. The middle nozzles can be turned individually. This allows the A-14 to act as a helicopter, hovering and turning simultaneously.The turbofan is almost impossible to damage, due to Protective armour placed on thing wings which protect it from the sides. A small 'hat' provides protection for the air intake, which is located on the top of the aircraft.

Cost :$14m

F-24 "Antares" Interceptor
http://invisionfree.com:54/93/157/upload/p1313.jpg
The F-24 is an aircraft designed to intercept enemy aircraft from long distances away using ESAA's premier long range missile, the AIM-254 "Super Phoenix". The aircraft is capable of reaching high speeds and has a reduced radar signature, although it is a weak dogfighter. It replaces the F-14. It's long-range radar allows the plane to track aircraft from over 200 nautical miles away.

Specifications
Function: Interceptor
Contractor: ESAA (ESA Aerospace)
Powerplant: 2x MX-7 thrust-vectoring afterburning turbofans producing 130,000 pounds of thrust.
Length: 40m
Wingspan: 30m
Height: 5.5m
Ceiling: 70,000 feet
Speed: Mach 1.8 Cruising, Mach 3.6 Max
Armnaments: Up to 24 Super Phoenix missiles, one 20mm Vulcan cannon.
Range: 12,500km
Crew: 2

Features:
*Rear facing radar allowing full 360 degree scanning
*Ability to engage up to 12 targets simultaneously, even ones behind the interceptor.
*ECM greatly increase survivability.

F-24R
The F-24R is the reconaissance/electronic warfare version of the F-24. It is similar to the F-24 in many respects, resulting in cross-compactibility of 95%. The main difference is the replacement of one missile rack with radio espionage equipment, and powerful visual and IR cameras. This is possible since the removal of a missile rack provides enough internal room. There are also a host of minor differences:
*2 N-014 radars (rear and forward) with a range of 420km against fighter-sized targets and much longer range against larger targets.
*6 AIM-254 Phoenix missiles for defence
*Radar jammers confuse enemy aircraft

Cost:
F-24 : $85m
F-24R: $85m

AIM-254 Super Phoenix
The AIM-254 is developed specifically for the F-24. It is based on the AIM-54 Phoenix and the AA-10 Alamo. It contains a ramjet motor with a rocket booster capable of greater range than it's predecessor. It also contains advanced doppler-based guidance systems and IR based guidance to increase the chances of detonation.

Cost: Only availible to customers who have purchased F-24s. $900,000.
Range: 220km
Speed: Mach 4
Length: 4m
Width: 35cm

C-1B Knight SST
Proudly produced by Calarca (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42889)
A B-1B Lancer supersonic low observability bomber to transport and drop elite paratroops. This SST aircraft has been named the C-1B Knight.

The process involves removing the bomb bay contents and reorganizing the interior of the fuselage to provide a troop transport area capable of holding 39 fully kitted out paratroopers.

C-1B Mission procedure follows entering the opposing country below radar detection height at supersonic speed, just as for a normal B-1 mission, upon reaching the target area the craft slows to asafe jump speed and opens the bay doors and extends a chute/slide into the slipstream. the troops clip a drag line from their canopy to a rail in the cute and slide down the chute and are ejected into the air safely below the area of the engines flare, the canopy deploying automatically as the drag line reaches the end of the rail and pulls free the canopies release line. Upon dropping the last man the C-1B retracts the chute and closes the bay doors while accellerating back to cruising speed and making a normal egress from the country.

The C-1B can drop troops in areas without detection where convetional C-130 and similiar troop transport aircraft will be detected and engaged before reaching.

Cost: $200m

B-23 Vertigo
http://invisionfree.com:54/93/157/upload/p1312.jpg
The B-23 is a long-range bomber capable of reaching very high speeds. It is designed for destroying high-priority targets quickly, but can also function as a strategic bomber.

Airframe
The airframe of the B-23 is composed of 45% heat-resistant ceramics. Normal aircraft made from titanium/aluminium can only tolerate speeds above Mach 2.8 for a short period of time. The use of ceramics allows the B-23 to operate at Mach 3.6 for hours on end (abeit at an enormous cost of fuel). The shape of the airframe reflects only a small amount of radar, resulting in low-observability, allowing the aircraft to get much closer to the tareget before detection (a.k.a "Half assed stealth"). Its swing-wing allows it to slow down near the target, allowing it to drop Iron-bombs with greater accuracy.

Avionics
The B-23 contains 2x AN/APG-77 radars giving a 360 degree view. Bundles of ECMs are also included. Flares, Chaff, and other missile blinders are also standard.

Specs
Primary function: Multi-purpose bomber
Contractor: ESAA
Powerplant : 4x MX-7 afterburning turbofans
Thrust: 260,000lbs
Armaments: Up to 40,000lbs of munitions depending on mission. Compatible with all Western produced munitions. The B-23 also carries 6 AIM-254 Phoenix missiles on a separate missile rack for defense.
Length: 90m
Wingspan: 75m
Speed: Mach 0.3 Min, Mach 1.8 Cruise, Mach 3.6 Max
Ceiling: 75,000 feet
Min Height: 300 feet
Range: Global

Mission
The B-23 is a multi-purpose bomber. On a mission to destroy a high-priority target, it would carry a fairly small amount of precision ordinance, up to 25,000lbs and fly to the target zone at its maximum speed of Mach 3.6. Its great range allows a country to maintain an offensive literally from the other side of the world.

On a strategic bombing mission, the B-23 would be loaded with the full load of ordinance and travel to its target at normal speed. The ordinance carried would be iron bombs or any desired ordinance.

Cost: $450m

EAGM-I
Function: Sea/Air-launched Anti-ship missile
Length: 3.9m (10.5m)
Diameter: 45cm (65cm)
Wingspan: 35cm (50cm)
Range: 40km A, 190km B, 330km C
Speed: Mach 2.2
Warhead: Penetrating High explosive (1,100lbs)
Weight: 2,200kg A, 4,500kg B, 6,500kg C
Guidance: IR/Radar terminal, GPS navigation
Thrust: Solid Rocket motor producing 4,800lbs (6,000lbs)

The EAGM-I (Enhanced Air-to-Ground Missile) is ESAA's first indigenously developed anti-ship missile. Development work started in 1998, with the first trials conducted in 2001. The EAGM-I was first used in combat in the Ell-Rioneron Conflict, with devastating results against enemy ships, even sinking heavily armoured carriers and cruisers.

The EAGM is compatible with most US/ESAA aircraft. Although it weighs more than the AGM-84 Harpoon, it is just over half the weight of a SS-22 Sunburn, allowing it to be air-launched on strike aircraft.

The EAGM’s lethality is unsurpassed due to several innovative features. Its high speed (3x faster than the Harpoon) gives the target little time to respond. Even if the EAGM is targeted by CIWS, it still stands a good chance of hitting its target due to the presence of a DU tip protecting the motor and the warhead (The guidance and radar will be destroyed though). Based on the range of the Phalanx CIWS, the EAGM will still succeed in hitting the target 90%+ times. On impact, penetration is almost definite due to its large warhead (3x more explosive than the Exocet)

A sea-launched version with much greater range is also available. Specs for the sea-launched version are in brackets.

Cost:
EAGM-I A (Air-launched) - $1.7m
EAGM-I B (Sea-launched) - $1.9m
EAGM-I C (GPS Sea launched) - $2.1m

UPDATE: EAGM-I C (GPS-Guided, Active radar terminal) developed. Weighs 6.5 tons, but compatible with the EAGM-B. Range increases to 330km.

NEWS

*Tests of the EMRAAM (Enhanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles) were successful, outperforming the AMRAAM by a fairly large margin. In simulations, a Su-27 using AMRAAMs destroyed the opposing Su-27 50% of the time. A Su-27 using EMRAAMs destroyed the opposing Su-27 80% of the time. More techinical details will follow as it is declassified.

OOC: Am I still a sales rep of ESAA? :P

What happend to all the other RL planes? and wheres the index??? :?:

Technically, this isn't a sales thread anymore (cos I'm sick of it) and I sold the RL division off in an auction.

Who's got it now? I'm wanting a few mor jaguars and A-4Ks soon. And if this isn't a sales thread can I still buy another load of F-21s and F-24s?

Yeah, you can still buy a load of F/A-21s and F-24s. I've sold the RL division to Omz222, so you could buy the A-4s off him.

320 F/A-21B and 150 F-24 please :D

OOC: Am I still a sales rep of ESAA? :P

OOC: Techinally I'm still not clear about this, even though Gun Brothers and I now own the RL planes division.

Just FYI, the production rights is $4 billion I believe,

Kraytia Wires Money for production rights. See below...

Wrong account, those production rights will be for Kraytia, not KSE :P

When will the F-24B be out? I'm looking forward to some interceptors to replace the F-14D :P

Production rights for the F/A-2000 are $4bn. (Not much difference between A and B really).

The F-24B? I'm trying to cut down on the size of the aircraft to make it smaller and carrier-capable. Not much else, apart from maybe a forward canard. Maybe tommorrow?

How much for prod. rights of F-24 and F-24B (if they comes in a bundle), and possibly the F/A-21 and F/A-21B? We will pay big, $30 billion maximum perhaps. The puprose is for a development of a new fighter jet for ourselves, and of course, mass production for ourselves.

$4bn for each of those, leading to $8bn total.

We will pay $15 billion instead. Money wired.

Several months ago, $60bn of funding was taken from ESAA accounts for funding a "general purpose" project. Today, the wrap has come off....

ESAA's Airborne Laser
http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/images/abl747b-s.jpg

The ABL weapon system will use a high-energy(3Mw), chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) mounted on a modified Airbus aircraft to shoot down enemy aircraft. A crew of four, including pilot and copilot, will operate the airborne laser, which will patrol in pairs at high altitude, about 80,000 feet. The jets will fly in orbits over friendly territory, scanning the horizon for aircraft. Capable of autonomous operation, the ABL will acquire and track targets from take-off. A tracking laser beam will illuminate the target, and computers will measure the distance and calculate its course and direction. After acquiring and locking onto the target, a second laser - with weapons-class strength - will fire a three- to five-second burst from a turret located in the nose, with a second turret located in the tail for targetting rear aircraft. The aircraft will be destroyed over the launch area. Effective range is 400km.

The aircraft itself hsa undergone modifications relating to engines. The civilian turbofans have been replaced with Ellan UHB-3 turbofans capable of operating at 80,000ft (similar to the SR-71's engines).

These new developments will ensure Ellan air superiority in the 21st century.

Thanks for your help in my thread, Ell! The F/A-2000 is a fabulous air superiority fighter, and we'd like to stock it as our primary fighter. The others are great as well - we've had some of them for a while, and would like to get more. As such, we'd like to order:

14 wings (1008x) F/A-2000B Millenium Fighter ($50.4 b)
3 wings (216x) F/A-21B Sirius ($7.776 b)
A quarter wing (18x) B-23 Vertigo Bomber ($8.1 b)
188x F-24 Antares Interceptor ($15.98 b)

Total: $82.256 billion

The unprecidented 14 wing order will put our number of Millenium Fighters at just over the current U.S. deployment of F-16s, so while we realize it's a huge order, we're highly grateful for your accomidation. Thanks for your help!

(Also, do you have a trainer version of the 2000B? We'd like to purchase a few of those...)

:shock: What an order ;)

IC:
The Ellan air force utilises a stripped down SWF-16 for training the Millenium fighter pilots, which we can sell bare-bones for $1m, as it has very similar characteristics to the Millenium.

The order will occupy our facilities for many months. The order will be completed in around 8 months NS time. As always, pleasure doing business.

OOC: Actually, the USAF is said to be planning to order 2800+ F-35A JSFs when it comes out :shock:

ABL undergoes testing
Today, the ABL underwent intensive trialing against missiles and aircraft. Dud missiles were launched from a F/A-21 250km away, and an UAV version of the F-16 was used.

Out 16 AIM-254 Super Phoenixes, 8 were destroyed on the first shot(3s). 6 required a second shot(6s), and 2 required a 3rd shot(9s). Out of 6 AMRAAMs, 5 were destroyed on the first shot and one required a second shot.

Tests on the F-16 were below expectations but encouraging. It took 1 minute to detonate the engine. However, a shot at the cockpit melted avionics and caused the aircraft to malfunction took 6s.

The main problem encountered was with the poor accuracy of the laser. This will be remidied by replacing the Athlon 3000 with a dozen Knotossian 10Ghz CPUs.

I'll take 1000 B-23 Vertigo's
*Wores appropiate amount of money* awaiting conformation

The upgraded system has bee disappointing. The mirrors were set to change every 0.000000001s, much less time than before, but the computer systems were unable to cope and crashed. ESAA is now seeking more powerful processors.

Update on ABL:

A Knotossian CAESAR supercomputer and a meteorology unit was fitted onto the aircraft successfully. However, 2 power-modules had to be removed, bringing the total power of the laser down to 1.8Mw from 3Mw. Software has been intergrated, and flight testing commences in a week's time.

The steps undertaken to improve accuract have been succesful. In the 2nd trial run, the ABL shot down 127 out of 128 missiles 250km away on the first shot successfully, and managed 118 out of 128 320km away on the first shot.

The ABL was also tested against satellites today. The UHB-III engines pushed the aircraft to 80,000 feet, although they have been tested at up to 92,000ft.

The ABL managed to disable a mock spy satellite by burning out it's sensitve optics equipment facing Earth. More tests shall follow.

ESAA Airbourne Laser

The Airbourne Laser (ABL) is a modified Airbus 330 capable of reaching 75,000 feet. It is capable of esablishing an infolink with nearby Ellan AWACs to track and target enemy missiles. One 3 second burst at a power of 1.8MW with either the rear or front laser is enough to destroy the missile, with effective range of 400km.

Cost: $520m

Any comments? 400km alright? (I got it off aeronautics.ru)
