Following a decision by the Elias Air Force to procure the EA-160 Wolverine (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71886) over the EA-148 design, Elias Aerospace decided to scale back the original design and produce the EA-148 as a jet trainer instead of a mutlirole fighter. It was beaten by the other Elias Aerospace design because it was a cheaper but not as capable design. Two qualities that make it ideal for training.
Devlopment is now complete and exports are available. The presales (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74192&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)will be shipped after the second installment (80%) has been wired. We thank all nations who have given the financial asssistance to turn this program into a reality.
Design
The aircraft is constructed of carbon fire composites, glass-reinforced plastic, aluminium lithium, titanium and aluminium casting.
The conventional layout of the aircraft although not ground breakingly advanced provides for superb stability, reliability and safety especially when the aircraft is being used for training where the pilot might not have much experience in flying high performance jets.
Cockpit
The cockpit layout has been designed with displays and controls, that are compatible with current and projected front-line aircraft. The cockpit is fully compatible with the use of night-vision goggles. The night-vision system gives 24-hour operational capability and complements the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor by allowing the pilots all-round situation awareness.
The aircraft has digital fly-by-wire controls and HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick).
Three multifunction displays present all the aircraft flight data, navigation and sensor displays, weapons control, engine monitor, radio and radio navigation functions. All the information is available on any display and is selected by the pilot, using computer-controlled 'soft keys'.
The Head-Up Display (HUD) features full navigation, air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon aiming formats. The flexible software allows a huge selection of formats to suit each nations' need.
The aircraft is equipped with an advanced laser inertial navigation and attack system, a global positioning (GPS) system and a traffic alerting and collision avoidance (TCAS) system.
Weapons
The aircraft has seven external hardpoints for carrying weapons, one on the centreline under the fuselage, two hardpoints under each wing and an air-to-air missile launch rail at the two wingtips.
The wingtip launch rails can carry AIM-9/ASRAAM/R-14 missiles. The underwing and centreline hardpoints can carry rocket pods, air-to-surface missiles or air-to-air missiles according to the mission requirements, e.g. AGM-65 Maverick missiles or Mark 82/83/84 bombs or rocket pods and of course training rounds.
A Gsh-23 cannon with 296 rounds of ammunition is installed internally.
The EA-148 light combat aircraft can carry electronic warfare pods and a radar warning receiver.
Countermeasures
The aircraft features an integrated system that provides radar warning, electronic support measures and chaff and flare decoy dispensers.
