Delta Class Strike Cruiser: F-17 Nighthawk
Cost: $250,000

DESIGN FEATURES:

Multi-faceted airframe designed to reflect radar energy away from originating transmitter, particularly downward-looking AEW aircraft.
Use of a highly angular type of flying wing basic design (based on relaxed stability and controlled via a quadreplex fly-by-wire control system) with a butterfly tail and elements of lifting-body vehicle design.
The concept is to refelct incoming electromagnetic energy and other radiation in all directions, except the originating emitter.
Vortexes from many sharp edges, including leading-edge of wing, designed to form co-ordinated lifting airflow pattern
wings have 67 degrees 30' sweepback, all doors and access panels have serrated edges to suppress radar reflection
boom refuelling receptacle on port side of top plate, aft of cockpit. Frontal radar cross-section estimated as 0.01 m2 (0.1 sq ft).
The F-117A also has no active radars, unlike conventional warplanes. Instead, it uses a search rada being taken by an advanced passive system based on IR sensors and that of the Doppler navigation system by high-quality INS.
The F-117A also has internal accommodation for small warload of "smart" weapons, thus also reduces the aircrafts radar signature, with the absence of protruding hardpoints.




POWER PLANT:

Two 48.0 kN (10,800 lb st) class General Electric F404-GE-F1D2 dry thrust non-augmented turbofans.
Rectangular overwing air intakes with heated grid for anti-icing and low observability.
Auxiliary air intake doors in horizontal surface immediately to the rear.
Part of cold air ingested bypasses engine and is mixed with exhaust gases for cooling.
Narrow-slot 'platypus' exhausts, designed by Astech/MCI, in rear fuselage, with extended lower lip, surrounded by heat tiles of type used on Space Shuttle and with 11 vertical, internal guide vanes.
In-flight refuelling receptacle in decking aft of cockpit. Optional drop tank on internal weapons pylon.




ARMAMENT:

Full range of USAF tactical fighter ordnance, principally two 2000 lb bombs:
BLU-109B low-level laser-guided or GBU-10/GBU-27 laser-guided glide weapons
Alternatively, AGM-65 Maverick or AGM-88 HARM ASMs.
Provision for AIM-9 Sidewinder (against AWACS aircraft).
Internal carriage on two extendible beams in weapon bay. (Only missiles with seeker heads extended below aircraft prior to launch; bombs released from within weapons bay.)

Alpha Class Bomber Plane: B2
Cost: $450,000

DESIGN FEATURES:

The whole aircraft is the design of the relaxed-stability type, a flying wing with straight leading-edges swept at 40° with a W-shaped trailing edges.
Emphasis was placed on smooth surfaces with blended flight deck and nacelle bulges.
Use of radiation-absorbant materials to minimize reflectivity.
'Double-W' trailing-edge incorporating elevons and drag rudders outboard of engines.
Two side by side weapons bays in lower centrebody each have small, drop-down spoiler panels ahead of doors to generate vortexes, ensuring a clean weapons release.
Engines are fed by S-shaped air ducts, with 3-pointed splitter plates ahead of inlets which remove boundary layer and provide secondary air flow for cooling and IR emissions control.
These 2D nozzles reduce thermal and acoustic signatures.
Two V-shaped overwing exhausts set well forward of trailing-edge.
Titanium on wing surface behind engine outlet, wingtips and leading-edges have dielectric covering of aerofoil section to mask radar-dissipating with a sawtooth construction.
The main APQ-181 radar, similar to the APG-10 in F-15C/D/E, is a synthetic-aperture type and has 21 operational modes, including coherent mapping.
A total of 80,000 hours of testing was done on the B-2's components.
These include 24,000 hours in the wind tunnel, 44,000 hours of avionics testing and 6,000 hours of full-scale 'plastic bird' control system tests.
Flight testing of the B-2 to total 4,000 hours with six aircraft.
The prototype is built on production tooling to an accuracy of +/-6.3 mm from tip to tip.
Developement of the B-2 required nearly 900 new materials and processes to be invented, including over 4,000 subcontractors throughout the USA.




POWER PLANT:

Four 8618 kg (17,300 lb) General Electric F118-GE-100 non-afterburning, dry thrust turbofans mounted in pairs within wing structure.
Total thrust of 34,472 kg (76 000 lb, 169 kN)
In-flight refuelling receptacle in centrebody spine.




ACCOMMODATION:

Two crew members, with upward-firing ejection seats: pilot to port, mission commander/instructor pilot to starboard.
Provision for third member behind commander.
Both forward positions have conventional control columns.
Flight, engine, sensor and systems information presented on nine-tube EFIS display.

ARMAMENT:

Boeing rotary launcher assembly (RLA) in each of two side by side weapons bays in lower centrebody, each detachable for loading at weapons dump with up to eight large stores each.
The total capacity of of the RLA include 16 AGM-129 ACMs.
Alternative weapons include:
16 B61 tactical/strategic or 16 B83 strategic free-fall nuclear bombs
80 Mk 82 500 lb bombs
16 Joint Direct Attack Munitions
16 Mk 84 2,000 lb bombs
36 M117 750 lb fire bombs

I am afraid a purchase of this magnitude may not be wise from an economic or moral standpoint. While the Officer of Surplus Control, the organisation given the temporary duty of managing our surplus situation, has not yet received the full manifest of stock we do feel that the supply is in excess of suitable levels. Perhaps if your government would be willing to enter into negotiations we could reach figures that are more reasoable, and after reveiwing your nation we feel that our prices may be lowerable for a nation such as yours.

We apologise for the time it has taken to process your request however the background checks and budget analysis are nessacary to ensure we only sell to responable nations. There was a minor concern that must be cleared up before your order may be processed, your nation has been extremely active in military matters could you explain this to us. It is understandble that this is your nation's internal bussiness however this office has a duty to investigate these matters before we sell you these weapons

Aircraft for $250k? That's godmoddishly cheap.

Aircraft for $250k? That's godmoddishly cheap.
Actually it is not, some of our stock has changed hands three times already. Though the stock currently being sold was manufactured in Rotovia. Also, this is surplus stock and we are more intrested in moving it out of our storage facilities than recovering costs.

OOC: Furthermore, feel free to watch this thread you will notice it is one of the few storefront threads to actually conduct background check and remain remotely IC.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/forumfun/misc.jpg
Please remove this, it is clogging my IC thread and is really unessacary.

Yes of course we quite understand the checks. We have in the past been involved in millitary action but only when provoked and attacked. As you can see since the brief skirmish with Hagen the vast majority of the weapons purchased by us have been as defencive measures (eg counter-terrorist training) to protect our nation. Surely every nation has the right to do this? However we can't rely soley on defensif measures and need some aggresive weapons to act as a further deterent.
We hope that you will agree to sell us these weapons and in doing so inshure the saftey of my people for generations to come.
We await your responce,

Our Government sees no reason to limit our supply of weapons to your nation and will see to it the first shipment of aircraft arrive within the week and the remander over the following days. Money may be transfered to our bank account held with the Swiss National Bank or United Rotovia Bank. Which ever suits your government. We hope to be able to trade with your nation again.

Thank you and we will also look forward to doing buissness in the future.

Given that your nation is conducting background checks we rescind our previous order. The Republic of Ozymandias IV is always concerned when we see stealth technology and WMDs being offered on the world market at low prices.

Since we are confident that terrorists and rogue nations will not be obtaining these weapon systems we would like to place an order for materiel we will actually need, rather than simply stockpiling it to keep out of the hands of rogue states.

To wit, the Republic would like to purchase the following:

--100 B-2 bombers @ 45 million Rand
(enough for two strategic bomber wings)

--36 EA-6B Prowlers @ 9 million Rand
(enough to bring our naval aviation assets up to two squadrons)

--80 F-117 Nighthawks @ 20 million (enough to bring our special ops aviation assets up to two fighter wings)

Total cost will be 74 million Rand which will be wired to Rotovia's account at the United Rotovia Bank upon confirmation.

Our airforce will dispatch a pair of C-141s with the appropriate pilots to fly these aircraft home to the Republic. The transports will be escorted by a flight of F-15s for security purposes. Please bill our government directly for the necessary fueling to turn around these aircraft and bring them home.

It has been a pleasure doing business with your responsible government.

The Armedc rupublic of Huzen Hagen would like to purchase 180 F-17's and 50 B-2's. We are aware that our country was involced in a military stand-off but if you look closely it was not us but Law2K who was the agressor and we feel that we too must build a defencive force.

Your offer is being seroiusly considered however there area number of matters that must be cleared up before I can process your order. Firstly, your nation has been in what appears to be other military conflicts recently, other than the one you chose to disclose to us. Secondly, your nation has been stockpiling a significant supply of weapons from many other nations.

These matter must be cleared up before we can place your order, and please note a simple cash wire transfer is prefed.

Yes it is true that our nation has been involved in other flash points, but in each of those we have only enterd to make theworld more peacefull as a whole (the joint strike force), eliminate terrorists or both. Our nations forces currently stand at

240 pieces of armour
388 aircraft
240 pieces of artillery
5560 men
spy sattalites
80 ADATS
20 sam batterys
and severall subs

many of these have not beeen confirmed and so we do not have a large military and we wish to be able to defend our people and the safety of other nations.

Any other quries will be accounted for if you telegram our nation

Er...how used are these planes? I'd like to know how your B-2s depreciated something like 100 times in value, probably more.

As afforementioned we are desperate to more our surplus weapons to make room for new supplies. However, the planes being sold are around three years old and many have not seen active combat. Independant inspectors have delcared them of the highest quality and safe for international resale. It is the Rotovian Government standing policy never to remain using the same technologies or equipment for any extended period and we see no reason to differ from that now. I hope that has satisfied your query.

With this perticular order our Office has been given the strictest orders to conduct an indepth report of your nation and as such it may take longer for such an order to be proccessed.

However, the first stage of inquest has turned up some alraming conerns that must be answered for before your apllication can even be considered for furthure weighting and approval. Namely your nations often hasty use of, or threat of use of, Weapons of Mass Destruction. Could this please be accounted for so as your application can be forwarded to the next stage of inquiry.
