For all you national leaders who need to get somewhere quickly, then here is the PX-302 'Xavio' hypersonic passenger jet.

http://users.cihost.com/ata/aircraft/aurora8.jpg

Designed for the rulers of all nations, this jet can get you too any location in the world within a few hours. Using hypersonic technology, the aircraft can propel you at speeds up to Mach 8.1, with all the luxury you require. If you want to get to a summit on the other side of the planet quickly then this is the plane for you.



Function: hypersonic passenger jet
Engine: Pulse Detonation Wave Engine w/ Airspike generator*
Crew: 3
Length: 80ft
Height: 15.50 ft
Wingspan: 80ft
Empty Weight: 36,000 lb
Internal Fuel: 24,000 lb
Ceiling: 100,000 ft.
Max Speed: Mach 8.1
Range: 15,240 miles
Armament: None
Unit Cost: $100mil

*The Airspike generator creates a concentrated spike of energy that drives the air from the path of the plane. This means that less energy is required for travel, and would mean that when use on Mach 25 aircraft, they only experience Mach 3 conditions.

So no-one wants a super fast presidential jet then?

This is one of those newfangled spaceplanes, I assume?

Right Americaaa your plane is on its way.

These planes do not need weapons. First they are effectively civilian aircraft, designed to cart your leader around. Second, theres not much that is going to see, target and hit an aircraft travelling at Mach 8.1. I will be producing a military version at a later date, but there are various other projects that come first.

this is future tech, correct?
Phoenixius

Not really. MOre future modern. This technology is currently being developed by the American government. Check the internet for stories about it.

Pretty, pretty plane. I'll take one, in the Anime Fandom tradition of exceptionally advanced technologies being used for civilian use. (A team of devoted reverse-engineers rub their hands in delight!)

OK Anime Fandom, one jet on its way to you.

Actually, speeds are closer to upper Mach 5, not Mach 8.1. The Aurora's design would severely limit room aboard, if you paid attention to the other pictures from where you hijacked that one, you would see that the engine to allow the Aurora to hit those speeds basically takes up the entire plane.

You didn't even give a propulsion system type.

We will take 7, one for each member of our politburo. Money wired on confirmation.

I must repeat myself? There's room for only ONE person, not 3. One.

Its not your plane is it? Let Phoenixius sell them without being criticised.

Excuse you? I cannot let him sell things that simply couldn't possibly exist!

This is the inside of that plane. It is capable of Mach 6, it is either a ScramJet/RamJet engine, or a Pulse-Detonation engine, and it can only fit a crew of 1. It supposedly is the replacement for the SR-71 Blackbird.

Well none of the star wars things in the star wars store front exist, but I don't see you stooping him selling things. This is meant to be RP, not real :)
Doujin

This is supposed to be Modern/Near-Modern Tech. Stuff that is supposed to be based off real life, this is supposed to be as near as real as possible - otherwise it's called Godmodding/Godmode. Those Star Wars storefront's are for FUTURE-TECH Nations, not modern tech ones.

Back to my original point, its RP, not real, it doesn't matter that much does it? If it bothers you, don't buy it, quite simple.
Doujin
09-03-2004, 17:20
No, if it bothers me, I stop it. Buy things that can't possibly exist and if you enter in a role-play situation with someone else most likely you will be flat-out ignored. It's better to help people learn stuff, rather than ignoring their product.

But I won't enter an RP situation with it, its transport for the 7 most important men in my nation, I'm not gonna use it to bomb anyone, so it'll never be used in an RP situation.

Umm, Phoenixius did say it was future modern, by that he may mean 50years(which i think sounds about right if more money was put into this stuff)
Also, think of Ge-force4s designs, he had mach5 fighters, multirole and modern/slightly future, not that much, and everyone accepted his designs. Also, you complain about the engine used, does it matter? If you dont want one then go away! I personaly feel this to be a good plane, must of cost a lot, but if its future then he may have taken many years over it.
If you dont want it then go, and if you cant build one like it then go also, who said it was based on that design anyway?
Doujin

It's the design and frame of the plane he chose. 50 - 100 years from now I still wouldn't buy it with this frame unless there were special technologies developed like a "shield" to protect it from the many factors that effect a plane traveling at those speeds.

krulltor would like to purchase one of these fine craft.

Monie will be wired apon confirmation

Thank you to all who support me on this. HOwever Doujin, I do realise that it does have some falibilties. In concession to this, i'm going to add a little something to it that will allow it to be stable at the speeds mentioned.

All orders so far confirmed.

Phoenixius, theres much more than just the speed. The plane itself would not be able to maneuver. One slight move and it could overshoot it's destination by hundreds of miles. Along with that, even a small move could be drastic enough to tear the frame apart, and knock the humans inside out. The frame, not to mention the humans inside, would not be able to handle the G forces put on it.
