OOC:
It was originally developed by me and geforce4, but now geforce4 is jaxforce, he declared war on me anyways, so now we both seperately sell this fighter.
IC:
Prod rights are not sold except to allies!
JF stands for Joint-Fighter
Upon customer request, the JF-20 can be fitted with Western weapons such as the Vulcan cannon, AIM-120 AMRAAM, AGM-65 Maverick, etc.
The aircraft has been developed in a 50-50 partnership with Dark terror's defence ministry, the BDIA, to meet a Bisonic frontal multi-role-fighter requirement, with a naval version (JF-20K) developed to meet the needs of a new plane for the Forcien and Bisonic Navies capable of performing both attack and air superiority missions. The aircraft has easily demonstrated manoeuvres yet to be emulated by any western aircraft.
Switchblade Wing Design
The wings are attached to its fuselage (body) at a pivot point toward the back of the plane. When the wings are fully extended, the plane can fly slowly to drop bombs precisely on their targets or land on short runways. When the wings are swept farther forward, the aircraft takes advantage of the maneuverability that forward-swept wings offer, and becomes an agile fighter. When the wings are swept fully forward, the trailing edge of the wing becomes the leading edge, and the aircraft turns into a delta shape perfect for dashing away at speeds up to Mach 3.
Armament

The JF-20 can carry up to 16 air-to-air missiles and up to 10000kg of ordnance. The fourteen external hardpoints can carry air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, bombs, rockets and an ECM (electronic countermeasures) pod. The aircraft is fitted with one Gsh-301 30mm gun with a maximum rate of fire of 1,500 rounds per minute.
The aircraft can be equipped with Vympel R-73E short-range air-to-air missiles with infrared terminal homing and RVV-AE long-range air-to-air missiles with active radar guidance. R-73E (NATO codename AA-11 Archer) is an all-aspect, close-combat missile capable of engaging targets in tail-chase or head-on mode at altitudes between 0.02 and 20km, and target g-load to 12g. The Vympel RVV-AE (AA-12 Adder) air-to-air missile, also known as the RR-77, can intercept targets at speeds up to 3,600kph and altitudes from 0.02 to 25km.
The Su-37 can be fitted with air-to-surface missiles such as the Kh-25 (AS-12 Kegler) short-range missile and Kh-29 (AS-14 Kedge) with a 317kg penetrating warhead, as well as air-launched versions of missiles such as the P-800 Yakhont (SS-N-26), Uran (SS-N-25 Switchblade), and Klub (SS-N-27), among others.
Sensors
Zhuk Multipurpose Radar
Range 175 miles. Can identify 60 targets and simultaneous track 30 target flying below
200ft while flying at 20,000ft.
E.S.M.: Radar detector, enables vehicle to detect other radars passively
Multi-target:
Can lock on and fire at up to 4 targets simultaneously with AA-13 missiles
V. A. S.: Amplify camera that allows targeting on fighter sized objects out to 30 miles
Targeting Laser/ Verifying Laser:
Used to target with laser guided weapons and to fly without using radar low to the ground
at night
the weapons management system, electronic warfare system and the Zhuk
radar work as one, giving the pilot unprecedented situation awareness.
Zhuk successfully detects air targets, manufactured with the use of "stealth" technology
The Zhuk radar is designed for air-superiority and strike operations and features a low observable, active aperture, electronically-scanned array with multi-target, all-weather capability.
The radar is key to the JF-20's integrated avionics and sensor capabilities. It will provide pilots with detailed information about multiple threats before the adversary's radar ever detects the JF-20. This is also called BVR, or Beyond Visual Range capability.
There are also systems for terrain-following and terrain-avoidance, mapping and multichannel employment of guided weapons
There is also a rear-looking NIIP NO-12 radar and optronic fire-control and surveillance system
Engines:
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/pixelmonkey/zaengine.jpg
it uses Mach-3 G-50FU Pulse detonation engines for propulsion
the G-50FU pulse detonation engines are similar in size to modern turbojets (a bit smaller) but are more efficient because detonations create higher pressures and travel faster than turbojet combustion. This means more power, higher efficiency.
The 3-dimensional nozzle vectors thrust 20 degrees up down left and right for improved aircraft agility. This vectoring increases the roll rate of the aircraft by 50 percent and has features that contribute to the aircraft stealth requirements.
Heat-resistant components give the nozzles the durability needed to vector thrust, even in afterburner conditions.
With precision digital controls, the nozzles work like another aircraft flight control surface. Thrust vectoring is an integrated part of the Za-34's flight control system, which allows for seamless integration of all components working in response to pilot commands.
the G-50FU engines also feature:
Integrally bladed rotors: In most stages, disks and blades are made from a single piece of metal for better performance and less air leakage.
Long chord, shroud less fan blades: Wider, stronger fan blades eliminate the need for the shroud, a ring of metal around most jet engine fans. Both the wider blades and shroud less design contribute to engine efficiency.
Low-aspect, high-stage-load compressor blades: Once again, wider blades offer greater strength and efficiency.
Alloy C high-strength burn-resistant titanium compressor stators: innovative titanium alloy increases stator durability, allowing the engine to run hotter and faster for greater thrust and efficiency.
Alloy C in augmentor and nozzle: The same heat-resistant titanium alloy protects aft components, permitting greater thrust and durability.
Floatwall combustor: Thermally isolated panels of oxidation-resistant high cobalt material make the combustion chamber more durable, which helps reduce scheduled maintenance.
Fifth-generation full-authority digital electronic engine control (FADEC): Dual-redundant digital engine controls - two units per engine, two computers per unit - ensure unmatched reliability in engine control systems. The same experience that introduced full-authority digital control to fighter engines works with the aircraft system to make engine and aircraft function as a single flight unit.
No visible smoke: Reduces the possibility of an enemy visually detecting the JF-20.
Improved Supportability: All components, harnesses, and plumbing are located on the bottom of the engine for easy access, all line replaceable units (LRUs) are located one deep (units are not located on top of one another), and each LRU can be removed with just one of the six standard tools required for engine maintenance.
the JF-20 is a joint development between Dark terror and geforce4 of a new generation multi-role fighter.
The aircraft is being developed in a 50-50 partnership with Dark terror's defence ministry, to meet bisonic and forican naval multi-role-fighter requirements.
Cockpit:
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/pixelmonkey/zacockpit.gif
The JF-20 features a side-stick controller in addition to two throttles that are the aircraft's primary flight controls. Located on the right console, the GEC-built stick also serves as a swing-out, adjustable arm rest. The stick is force sensitive and has a throw of only about one-quarter of an inch. The throttles are located on the left console.
During air combat, both the stick and the throttles are high-use controls . To support pilot functional requirements, the grips include buttons and switches (that are both shape and texture coded) to control more than 60 different time-critical functions. The buttons are used to control the offensive (weapons targeting and release) and defensive systems, (although some, like chaff and flares, can operate both automatically and manually) as well as display management.
The Heads Up Display or (HUD) server as the primary flight instrument for the pilot. It will have a viewable area of 30 degrees horizontally and 25 degrees vertically. Developed by the Air Force Instrument Flight Center, the GEC HUD will use standard symbology and be 4.5 inches in height. Unlike the HDD's, the GEC HUD will not be in color. However, the symbology will be exactly the same as the Head Down Displays. As a shock absorber from bird strikes, the windshield will be protected by a rubber buffer strip placed on the HUD combiner glass. During initial bird strike tests, the HUD would routinely shatter. Precautions were taken at all costs to avoid this from happening. The buffer strip would shield the polycarbonate glass by allowing it to flex during a strike. Design is underway for a collapsible HUD that would fall but not break. In addition, the JF-20 design also features a sort of laminate that eliminate glass from shattering in the cockpit.
The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) will be the main location where the pilot can manually input data for communications, autopilot and navigation. The ICP will be located below the HUD, underneath the glare shield and in the center top of the instrument panel. Additionally, the ICP will have "double click" features which are similar to a PC mouse in functionality. The double click feature will allow the pilot to input data more rapidly. Six Liquid crystal color displays will be housed in the cockpit. The LCD's will be fully readable in direct sunlight. Notable improvements of LCD's when compared to the older generation displays of CRT's are a lower weight, less size and a lower power consumption. The LCD's are inherently more reliable because of the lower power consumption. Two Up Front Display's (UFD)'s are located to the left and right of the ICP. They measure 3x4 inches. The primary function of the UFD's are to provide the pilot with cautionary information/warning/advisory, data communications/navigation/identification (CNI)data and act as the serve as the Stand-by Flight instrumentation Group and Fuel Quantity Indicator. A maximum of 12 messages can appear on the UFD's at any given time, and remaining faults can be indexed as sub pages.
