Federated Suns is pleased to announce there entry into the Arms manufacturing business with the keel of their 1st sub being laid down today and the expected construction to be completed in 6 mos... With an estimated 15 SSN's to be produced a year...Operators are standing by for advance orders...
...Also under final testing is their New Destroyer "The NIGHTSTALKER Class"... With and estimated 20 being completed a year also on the agenda is there new Strike Fighter which will begin construction as soon as the re-tooling of and Automobile plant is completed...roughly next year...expected number off the assemblylines will be about 75 per year...So step on up and put in your advance orders...

Darkhorse F-35B STOVL Joint Strike Fighter
Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA)

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/lmpic2s.jpg
Characteristic AFFS STOVL variant
Powerplant:
Single Pratt and Whitney F-135 (F119-PW-100 derivative with scaled-up fan and additional low-pressure turbine stage) reheated turbofan of up to 40,000lbs (179 kN ) in reheat. Fitted with Rolls Royce designed rotating nozzle for STOVL operations. 39,000 lbs in vertical lift mode for STOVL version. Later on, the General Electric F136 will be offered as an option.
The lift fan, developed by Rolls-Royce, will have 18500 lbs (82 kN) of thrust.
Weights:
Empty 30,697 lb; internal fuel 13,400 lb; max external fuel 10,000 lb; max external payload 15,000 lb; max TOW over 50,000 lbs; bring-back load for vertical landing: about 5,000 lb payload plus fuel reserves
Span: 35ft
Length: 50.5ft
Height: 15 ft
Wing Area: 460 square feet
Max Speed: Mach 1.8 clean
Combat Radius: 929 km (496 nm) unrefueled.
"Buddy" air-to-air refuelling system available.
Fly away unit cost $46m (FY2002)
Armament: The F-35 (JSF) has two internal weapons bays in the fuselage , each of which can accommodate a single "Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)" GPS-guided bomb and an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air to Air Missile (AMRAAM). The two bays have two doors each, with the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile fitted on a launch rail on the inner door. weapons bays for the carriage of two bombs (up to 1135 kg) and two AIM-120 AMRAAMS. There are three external hardpoints (2270 kg, 1135 kg, 136 kg going out from the fuselage) under each wing for non-stealthy missions , plus one under the fuselage (450 kg) and missile rails on the wingtips (135 kg) suitable for small AAM's and electronic pods. The inner pylon on each wing will be "wet ( i.e. can take fuel drop tanks), while the outer pylon will be rated for up to 1,135 kilograms (2,500 pounds).
UK integrated weapons include the standard UK 1000lb bomb (1 per bay), the ASRAAM missile (2 per bay), Brimstone anti-armour munitions, and Storm Shadow cruise missiles (1 only, carried externally). The MBDA Meteor air-to-air missiles may also eventually be carried by UK aircraft, but as October 2002 LM had still not been asked by the MOD(UK) to do any detailed engineering studies and it's uncertain whether it would fit internally.
The STOVL F-35B will not have a built-in gun, but it will be able to take a 20mm M61 belly gun pod.
The F-35 Block 3 will reach Initial Operating Capability in late 2004. Darkhorse lists the following weapons for internal carriage:
* 27 mm Mauser cannon (F-35A only, apparently now changed to the 25 mm GAU-12U )
* 450 kg bomb from UK
* AGM-114 Hellfire
* AGM-154 JSOW (glide bomb, 450 kg)
* AIM-120A/B/C AMRAAM

* BSU-86/B (mine)
* CBU-103/104/105 (WCDM)
* CBU-78/B Gator
* CBU-87/89/97
* GBU-12 Paveway II * GBU-31 JDAM (907 kg) and GBU-31 JDAM PIP
* GBU-32 JDAM (450 kg) and GBU-32 JDAM PIP
* Mk.20 Rockeye (Cluster Bomb, 250 kg)
* Mk.62 Quickstrike mine
* Mk.63 Quickstrike (mine)
* Mk.82 bomb (500 lbs)
* Mk.83 bomb (1000 lbs)
* Mk.84 bomb (2000 lbs)
* UK 1000 lbs bomb (the same as the 450kg bomb above?)
* UK 540 lbs LDGB
* UK ASRAAM
* UK Brimstone
On the external stations, the following missiles, bombs and tanks can be carried:
* 1815 litre-tank, 2270 litre-tank
* AGM-158 JASSM
* AGM-65 Maverick
* AGM-84D-1 Harpoon
* AGM-84H SLAM-ER
* AGM-88 HARM
* AIM-9X Sidewinder
* BDU-57/58/60 laser-guided training round
* BSU50 Ballute (bomb)
* GBU-10 Paveway II
* GBU-16 Paveway II
* GBU-24/B Paveway III with Mk.84 and BLU-109-warheads
* Belly gun pod (F-35B/C only, presumably the 20mm M61)
* LAU-10 Rocket Pod
* LAU-61 Rocket Pod
* MXU-648 Cargo Pod
* Storm Shadow
* SUU-20/SUU-5003 practice bomb and rocket dispenser
