Contract: 35 Aircraft (in production, 10 complete, 5 available for Purchase)
Price per Unit: $20 Million
Program Price: $700 million

OOC: That picture seems to show a twin engined aircraft.

We have two engines to offer, one is the small but very powerful TF525-450 turbofan engine. It is available in both standard and thrust vectoring versions and produces 9 500lbs of thrust. It is only slightly larger then the J85 engines found in the F-5 and A-37 aircraft.

The other engine is the TF933-240 turbofan. It is also available in both standard and thrust vectoring and it produces 24 000lbs of thrust. It is the same size as the F404 engines found in the F/A-18 and has been demonstrated in a technology demonstrator version of the F-20 as well as seeing several years of use in F-33 Snipers and F/A-55 Mystics in Haaregradian service. It has prooved itself to be a very low maintainence design with good fuel consumption and a long service life.

Additionally the F/A-55 Mystic is similar in size to your aircraft, which should demonstrate that the airframe can accomidate(sp?) the engine.

Basic F/A-55 Mystic stats:
Length: 40'4" (12.3 meters)
Height: 14'8" (4.47 meters)
Wingspan: 29'10" (9.08 meters)
Empty Weight: 10 560lbs (4 790 kg)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 20 745lbs (9 410 kg)

ooc: cant be helped

ic:

do you have any turbofans/turbojets in the 5,000-6,000 pound thrust range? we are planning to use 2 small engines if 1 large one is not available. if we cannot get a 11,000 Pound thrust turbofan/turbojet, we will use 2 small engines. if that does not work, we will settle on the first engine you demonstarated, with thrust-vector.

The first engine is so small because it is very new design, it was designed to replace an engine that made 5 000lbs of thrust. Every generation in engine design they make more power per pound of weight, this engine will deliver the performance you need well into the future.

agreed, we will buy 35 of the engine if you can also supply us with;

35 J/AWG-12 radars
35 AN/ALR-56M Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)

name your price

OOC:

I haven't a clue the price, so we'll pretend you paid the right amount. :wink: Also, those engines are quite small physically, you could easily install two into the airframe, I think you'll do better with 70. :P

Deal, the engines, RWRs and radars are all on their way.

Remember with almost double the designed thrust your aircraft is going to perform substantially better. It will be more manuverable and, obviously, faster.

O. K. Money wired for 70 engines and the rest.

OOC:

I edited my post, I dunno if you saw it.

bump

Kihameria will be willing to fund the project, all we want in return is productions plans and the rights needed to legaly produce it.
we can supply you with almost as much money as needed(i have the budget,look it up if you wish)
please telegram me if you are interested.
