Disaster has stuck a devastating blow into the heart of Pure Evil Aeronautics, otherwise known as PEA.

At 08:15 this morning a top secret PEA prototype exploded in the upper atmosphere killing both pilots and totally obliterating the plane. Details are sparse but the plane was in the middle of testing high mach performance at heights above 80,000ft.

Pure Evil Aeronautics has only released this statement
"At 08:15 is morning, a plane performing scheduled tests above the skies of the Pure Evil Military Testing Range exploded in the upper atmosphere for an unknown reason. Both pilots were killed and the plane was lost in the incident.

We are investigating the lose of the aircraft, But at this time it would seen a design error is the likely cause. But we are sill investigating claims by our Air Traffic Controllers that other planes where in the area"

To make matters worse one of the pilots killed was the head test pilot for PEA with 15years of experience flying jets.

The president has declared a day of mourning for the dead pilots.

so this means you're giving up any competion with raysia?

so this means you're giving up any competion with raysia?

Not at all. This is a setback but nothing we can't recover from(Im sure we can find more pilots from the 2.67Billion people in the nation).

If anything it only means that the plane MAY be delayed, Even if it is, it will give our engineers time to improve the aircraft.

After further investigation, Pure Evil Aeronautics has found NO evidence of other aircraft in the area around the crash.

Thus it can be said that the cause of the accident was a technical problem with the aircraft of some sort.

We will keep you informed on the situation and anything that develops.

The Continental Government sends it wishes to the families of the losted pilots.

I regret to inform you that one of Bree Tonias Dragon Lady reconnaissance aircraft was in the vicinity of the inicident, if our estimates are correct. The dragon lady has still not returned from duty, and if she does not return within 14 hours, when her fuel supply would have un out, Bree Tonia will begin its own investigation. We are not sure whether the incidents are related, but if you could keep the air force admiralty updated, we would be truly grateful.

As Raysia Aerospace and Raysia Electric are interested in future joint projects with PEA, we request an answer to the following simple questions:

What was the general nature of the explosion? And why couldn't the pilots eject? Was it the altitude? or the speed?

You say there was no evidence of other planes in the area, but could there have been anti-aircraft missles? Also, was there any possibleity of tampering with the plane?

OOC: Sorry, I can't spell.

From the little informationwe have about the accident. It would appear that some sort of fuel problem was to blame.

The nature of the explosion is not knowm, but from wreckage it appears that it was an internal explosion.

The pilot failed to eject simply because there was not enough warning. A fuel pressure warning was activated and 0.07Seconds later the plane exploded, 0.07seconds is simply too little time for a pilot to eject.

The plane was travelling at high mach speed at an altitude above 80,000ft.
OOC: i have sent you a telegram concerning possible joint programs,

The Croatian Peninsula: There is no possibility of anti-aircraft fire in the area. The plane was kept in a top secret high security facility so tampering is extremely unlikly.

Im sorry to say this but we have not found the Dragon lady or any possible wreckage.
