Bump.

I would be most interested in contributing to your high-speed bomber project. We have collaborated before on such things, but never on aviation. I must admit that my nation bears a certain cultural fascination with flight. What would be the performance objectives for such an aircraft?

Rt. Hon. Scott Haley

Our researchers are reviving an old concept, a possibly fictional concept, the mystery Aurora supersonic (mach 5) bomber. Now, with the advent of scramjets, pulse-detonation, advanced liquid hydrocarbon fuels as well as vanadium alloys that can withstand the required 1000 degrees Fahrenheight, we have decided to change that concept into reality. We of the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd are now designing a bomber from a modified SR-71 that can reach extreme speeds so that it will be able to deliver it's undenied ordnance.

As I have mentioned before, it's far fetched, but worth a shot as the world has yet to prove that the Aurora is a myth.

I have my concerns about the anti-G cockpit. As I understand it, the pilot would remain stationary while the aircraft rotated around him. I have concerns that this might cause the pilot to become disoriented at critical moments. Otherwise, the design seems quite sound. I will contribute $20 Billion initially, as well as offering the expertise of my country's Vega Aerospace Consortium.

I would think, though, that maneuver-related G-forces would not be the primary problem. Rather, acceleration would result in the majority of such stresses on the pilot. As I understand it, your cockpit design wouldn't help much for such stresses. Setting the pilot's seat at a 30-degree angle like on the F-16 would probably be sufficient, especially if combined with a liquid-filled G-suits the likes of which my pilots use.

True, It is only applied on the AZ-SMF-02 "Deus ex Machina" to counter it's lethal G forces from it's extreme manueverability and just to remind you, a seperate "cockpit" lies in the platform. That "cockpit" is assisted by incorporate cameras and fly-by-optics to attain a normal view, however it is true that the pilot might become disoriented, we are still working that out. However, in this case, you are right. We might be needing your expertise as we have specifically built this cockpit to counter all G-forces from manueverability, not speed. We thank you for your support, when our researchers are free, they will begin on the high-speed bomber project.

OOC:
Knew it. I wasn't very sure on the cockpit design myself. :roll:

Bump.

Actually I would like to voice some concern over this...your not even a month old with a less then amazing ecconomy, personally I think your going a bit overboard...

OOC:
If you look at all the projects, you will see that they are funded by other nations as well as myself. (Aside from the AZ-EAW-18, I am capable, as you can see.) Don't you think I know better than that? You can very well see that you can set me aside from those of my nation's age due to my ability to understand the rules of the games I play.

Bump.

Attican Aerospace und Motorwerke has many similar projects. Maybe you should work with us?

Our researchers accepts this proposal. We of the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd thanks you for this offer, we hope that this collaboration will help us advance both of our fair countries to newer, greater heights.

OOC:
I agree. Unlike other folks of his nation's age, Zvarinograd actually knows what he's doing. He knows his economy isn't good, so he borrows that of other nations.

OOC: Kotterdam, as I did with the AF-100. Now that my economy is good enough, I can do multiple research projects at once.

Bump.

The Dominion of Kotterdam would like to make an offer on this project. The Vega Aerospace Consortium and Longfield Electronics have both expressed an interest in the Lynx High-Speed Bomber. The VAC, having recently completed design of the B-4A Feuersturm Heavy Bomber, would be most interested in contributing its manufacturing facilities and expertise in airframes design, while Longfield Electronics has been dying to implement the multiple transciever Active Electronically Scanned Array NORA concept used for the radar on the westernized Su-37W in a large aircraft. If it works out for this project, they intend to include an AESA-NORA Radar in the next-generation AWACS aircraft currently in the early design phases.

OOC:

Sorry. Was too lazy to reply. I'm a bit occupied by another task at the moment.

IC:

The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd accepts Kotterdam's proposal. May your own research project prove successful.

Bump.

Zvarinograd

While we do not, as yet, have any operational units comparable to the Lynx, we are in the final stages of testing the Ozymanidas Ultra-High Altitude Strategic Interdictor. VMRDC (Varessan Military Research and Development Commission) designed the primary weapons system, and thrust was provided by a Pulse-Detonation Wave engine, the latter, and chassis. designed by the Upper Virginian Dominion. If you are interested in seeing a chronicle of Varessan handiwork, check out the following RP thread :

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66633&highlight=

which deals with the final stage testing of the airframe, and geopolitical consequences around it. Like yourselves, we deal in present and very-near future technology, and provide technological solutions without butchering the laws of physics to get them.

Of course, the sale of such technology does have positive economic ramifications for Varessa

The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd commends you in the success of your research, may it prove even successful once it is completed. About the help your technology may give us, it is rather late as we too are in the final stages of development. However, we are interested in it and might trade for or purchase it to further both our quests for knowledge.

Bump.

Freedom Country, in its reduced military spending, is hoping to instead share projects rather than produce them. We would like to start by co-developing a Cargo Aircraft with you.

This is a dream to do this, and would be very useful. We also hpe to ally with you.

But first, as a sign of co-working, we should start on the cargo aircraft and have a dogfight between our fighters, your Su-47 lookalike, my F-32.

Yes?

The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd accepts this offer. We are currently preparing one of our fighters and the best of our (inexperienced) airforce for the suggested dogfight.

OOC:
You'll win. No matter how advantageous my aircraft might be over yours. Your airforce is a lot more experienced than mine. My aircraft's stronghold, by the way, is manueverability and it's electronic warfare suite. Theoretically making it untouchable.

My suite, is the experience (3 conflicts and 10 kills for the one pilot), our VTOL and the AA-2 AAM. It has proven unbeatable, with maneuver programs, it uses Radar, Laser, IR and Thermal, and is just about untouchable by electronics.

If you want it fair, you can use the missile too. I also use the AA-3 200km+ ALRAAM.

So, want a fight?

And how about the research agreeement?

Ell's military bureau (ESAA) is interested in establishing a partnership with your nation's bureau. (ESAA's suite is propulsion, Mach 2.0 Supercruise engine on the horizon)

Agreed on both the fight and the research agreement. We, however decline your offer for the missle, we want to know the capabilities of our aircraft in real combat situations. We hope you understand.

As for the nation of Ell, we also accept your offer of collaboration.

OOC:
I'm dead. The only chance my side has of winning is if the pilot manages to maximize the "Deus ex Machina"'s manueverability.

Unlikely, considering his total combat experience. (i.e. None.)

You arent dead.

Apart from the fact that the gal RPing the fight is ex RAF.....

OOC: Here (NZ), we don't even have an air force. We sold it off.

Bump.

I see you have slept.

When shall we start?

Both the Cargo Plane and the Dogfight, I mean.

Shall I make a thread?

OOC:
I'll start the Cargo Plane project thread. You go start the Dogfight's.

Okay

What are the projected costs of this project? *Takes out chequebook*

OOC:
I don't know, Freedom? Any opinion on the project cost?

Bump.

Bump.

Would you like to be a 5% partner in our EA-30 Light Attack/Anti-Tank helicopter, its a private venture by Elias Aerospace as the Air Force wont put any money in until its built, therefore we need some funding and anything you care to contribute:

Basically a cheaper version of the Commanche:

The design is effectively complete we just need internal systems, ejector seats etc. Interested?

I am :D

I am :D

Dont you already have something like this?

Also Id ;like to do this with a small nation. But if you have anything in particular you want to offer to the program then go ahead.

I have a small Attack Helicopter/Transport, similar to the EA-28, but packs more of a punch. Still, only carries 4 on benches.

I also have the MAH-2, the copy of the Eurocopter PAH-2, but its getting old, and wasnt specced up to well :(

I dont know what do put on it though. Whats left?

The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd would gladly accept the joint-development project and offer it's electronic warfare systems and lightweight radar adsorbent composites to the project. Some of our researchers not currently busy with the Freedom Country collaboration project stand ready and willing to work with United Elias, our valued supplier and inspiration to begin our own military research and development.

Impressive, so bottom line , its a metal composite right?

Metal-polymeric composite, to be exact.

Bump.

Excellent, then taht will be your contribution to teh project.

I would love to do my speciality:

Counter Measures, Landing Gear and possibly the rotors (try something new)

AZ-T-III ECM 7446 EW suite

Radar-Detection and Jammer
The AN/ALQ-136(V)2 CMS is designed for the Special Electronics Mission Aircraft (SEMA) and the Special Operations Aircraft (SOA) -- RC-12, MH-47E, MH-60K, EH-60A. This CMS is programmed to respond to the pulse radar signals of the most critical threat weapon system anticipated to be encountered by SEMA and SOA in a hostile environment. It can operate against multiple threat weapons systems simultaneously. It has programmable modules, covers a broader frequency range than the (V)1 CMS and has built-in preplanned product improvement capabilities. The AN/ALQ-136(V)2 CMS consists of three types of line replaceable units (LRUs). These LRUs include one receiver/transmitter (RT) assembly, one control indicator assembly and four antennas. The RT assembly utilizes state-of-the-art gate array and gallium arsenide lightweight circuit boards. The total system weight is 72 pounds.

Russian Aviaconversia GPS and GLONASS Jammer
THE GPS/GLONASS JAMMER HAS AN OUTPUT POWER OF 4 WATTS AND CAN EFFECTIVELY DENY USE OF GPS IN AN AREA RANGING AS FAR AS 150-200 KM. DR. ANTONOV SAID THAT HE HAS ALREADY WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RUSSIAN MILITARY WITH DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS FOR HIS JAMMER SO THAT IT CAN BE USED TO DIRECTIONALLY JAM WHILE MAINTAINING SAFE AREAS FOR FRIENDLY FORCES TO ACCESS GPS OR GLONASS. THE COEFFICIENT OF ANTENNA AMPLIFICATION RANGES FROM 2-5, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF ANTENNA USED. THE ELECTRICAL INPUT SUPPLY IS EITHER BATTERY OR DC LINE VOLTAGE. DR. ANTONOV PRODUCED BOTH 15 V AND 6 V SUPPLIES THAT RAN OFF OF 230 VOLTS LINE INPUT. THE JAMMER DISSIPATES 25 WATTS WHEN IN USE AND WEIGHS BETWEEN 8-12 KG WITHOUT BATTERIES, DEPENDING ON THE CONFIGURATION. IN THE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE JAMMER SHOWN IN BOTH ENCL 1 AND 2, TWO KNOBS CAN BE SEEN AT THE BASE. THE LEFT KNOB IS FOR FREQUENCY MODULATION, AND RANGES FROM 0-6 MHZ. THE RIGHT KNOB IS FOR "VELOCITY CHANGE OF MODULATION" AND RANGES FROM 44-270 HZ. A PORTION OF THE ABOVE DATA IS CONTAINED IN ENCL 3, WHICH IS IN RUSSIAN. THE RO HAD ENCL 3 LOOSELY TRANSLATED, VERBALLY.

IR Detection/Missle System Jammer
The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS is the upgrade version of the AN/ALQ-144(V)3. It is an active, continuously operating, omni-directional and electrically fired infrared (IR) jammer. This CMS is designed for use on AH-1F and AH-64A/D helicopters to confuse or decoy threat IR missile systems. The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS is designed to provide jamming of all known IR threat missile systems when operated on helicopters equipped with low reflective paint and engine exhaust suppressors. The AN/ALQ-144A(V)3 CMS consists of a transmitter assembly and an operator control unit (OCU) with dual capabilities. The OCU controls both the AN/ALQ-136(V)1/5 and the AN/ALQ-144(V)3 or AN/ALQ-144A(V)3. The OCU has a 25-pin connector assembly. The total system weight is 30 pounds.

Combining these three jamming systems, the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd has developed an electronic warfare suite that can pound even the latest detection systems to oblivion, bringing a unpiercable shroud over the vehicle.

May I remind you that:

A) Jammers dont usually save the aircraft, the pilot does.

B) I asked first :wink:

C) We should really stop self-hijacking this.

OOC:
Well. Yes, experience of the pilot will always be the greatest determining factor of victory.

However, no, to your second comment.

The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd would gladly accept the joint-development project and offer it's electronic warfare systems and lightweight radar adsorbent composites to the project. Some of our researchers not currently busy with the Freedom Country collaboration project stand ready and willing to work with United Elias, our valued supplier and inspiration to begin our own military research and development.

Lastly, yes, to your last comment.

Okay
