The Zoogie People
31-12-2003, 23:28
(Changed the title to be more reflective of subject matter)
The Zoogie People and its colony (The Zoogies) are starting development of domestic jets. Plans are already in the works and we don't want this to be an international joint program; funding would be appreciated. Several major domestic contracts will be going out to domestic companies in the next couple of decades (at most). All of the planes in plan are going to be as low-RCS as possible, if not stealth. Plans include:
Air superiority
Multirole
Attack
Stealth bomber
Reconaissance
Various naval versions
OOC-wise, I'm a bit sketchy on some details, especially stealth percentage relative to the F-22 (I believe the stealthiest aircraft around). The first contract is going to be an advanced, low-RCS attack aircraft with reasonable air-to-air capabilities. Any funding is appreciated.
For the purposes of a healthy multirole force of aircraft...this mulitrole attacker....
ZF-26A/B
Type: Advanced Low-RCS Multirole Attack Fighter
http://www.cafeduweb.com/images/rafale.jpg
Class: Air Force (ZF-26B naval version)
Mode: Multirole but leaning on attack more; influenced by Eurofighter, F-16XL, Su-37
Manufactured by: Zoogie Aerospace
Engines: Two with combined 56,000-lb thrust
Performance: Max speed Mach 2.3; cruise speed Mach 1.22; automated thrust vectoring +/- 40˚; service ceiling 65,000ft
Persona: One
Hardpoints: Internal Cannon, centerline hardpoint for fuel tank or bomb, fuselage hardpoints for four AAMs/ASMs/laser-guided bombs are as many as 8 500-lb bombs or cluster bombs, four wing hardpoints for AAMs or ASMs, two wingtip hardpoints for IR-AAMs
RCS-factor: 80% relative to F-22
Guidance: What can I say, radar, HARM and IR. No specs cos I don't know any. Oh, and a jamming system, of course.
Domestic cost: $31million per; $37m naval version
Export pricing: $33million per; $38m naval version
Export profit return: 21%/16%
Production rights: How much do aircraft production rights sell for, anyways? Tanks I heard can go around 5 billion...so...
Domestic contracts: Starting next week, a five-year contract for 750 ZF-26As and 400 ZF-26Bs. Worth a total of $36.4 billion (cut off the .05 because of overly mass production) or 7.28 billion yearly for five years.
...and this multirole fighter. More versions of this are expected.
ZF-24A/C
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/art/photogallery/parisairshow/photos/photo05.jpg
Type: Advanced Low-RCS Multirole Fighter
Class: Air Force (ZF-24C Navy)
Mode: Influenced by F-18E/F, Eurofighter-2000, Su-37
Manufactured by: Star Systems
Engines: Two with combined 61,000-lb thrust
Performance: Max speed Mach 2.4; cruise speed Mach 1.42; automated thrust vectoring +/- 40˚; service ceiling 65,000ft
Persona: One
Hardpoints: Internal cannon, fuselage hardpoints (four AAMs, ASMs, or bombs), 4 wing hardpoints, 2 wingtip hardpoints, center hardpoint for fuel tank or single bomb, ASM, HARM seeker.
Domestic Sell Price: $35million/$37m naval version
Export Sell Price: $41million/$43m naval version
RCS Factor: 83% Stealth; 98% if completely unloaded
ZF-24B
Type: Advanced stealthy/low-RCS reconnaissance and/or combat-incapable trainer
Class: Air Force (Naval version in consideration)
Mode: Influenced by F-18E/F, Eurofighter-2000, Su-37
Manufactured by: Star Systems
Technology level: +5 years
Engines: Two with combined 62,000-lb thrust
Performance: Max speed Mach 2.8; cruise speed Mach 1.7; automated thrust vectoring +/- 45˚; service ceiling 65,000ft
Persona: Two
Hardpoints: Internal cannon, fuselage hardpoints for four AAMs (other weapons not recommended), wingtip hardpoints; various internal cameras
Domestic Sell Price: $36million
Export Sell Price: $42million
RCS factor: Near full stealth
Contracts: Starting next year, 10 year contract for 700 A version, 300 C-version, and 240 B-Version. Grand total of $43.8 billion (cut some off due to mass production), or $8.76 billion a year.
I would appreciate any comments and suggestions on how to fix my statistics so they're realistic, etc...and suggestions on the pricing of such a plane as well as what the production rights would be worth.
