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.

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.

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

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

Armnaments: One internally mounted M-61A1 20mm 20-mm, six-barrel cannon with 940 rounds of ammunition; four AIM-9L/M Sidewinder and four AIM-7F/M Sparrow air-to-air missiles, or eight AIM-120 AMRAAMs, carried externally. One AMRAAM can be replaced by 3 MK-82 Free-fall bombs.
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.

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.

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.

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
