The long awaited PEA-23 has finally been released as an "A" variant. PEA plan to build more variants each with varying levels of performance and ability.

This aircraft is the direct descendant of the prototype that was destroyed several weeks ago. All problems have now being fixed and there is no chance of the same thing happening ever again. As a result the max speed and altitude of the aircraft had to be reduced but PEA think this will not hurt sales or the ability of the aircraft at all.

Seen here in PEA testing colors, the PEA-23 shows off it's large smooth wings and 3d thrust vectoring nozzles. The wings are designed to provide the best possible lift and maneuverability combination at high altitudes, the disadvantage of the design is that more engines power is needed at takeoff and landing. The thrust vectoring nozzles are fully integrated into the engines providing incredible maneuverability at all speeds.

The PEA-23 is what you would expect from a 62million dollar combat aircraft. With cutting edge avionics the life of the pilot is made easier than before, with incredible processing power and radar up to 24 targets can be tracked at once. With a pulse Doppler radar the aircraft can attack ground target while traveling at over MACH2 and above 80,000ft with amazing accuracy.

Only with use of composites is PEA-23 able to fly so high and fast be it for a very short period of time. 70% of the aircraft is made from composite materials, the only parts not made of composites are the internal working of the plane.

Input wlecome, More pics will be posted on request.

An interesting design.

I have yet to see any specification on the intended role. Although being high speed, high altitude reeks on an air interceptor like the RW MiG-25.

The aircraft is a high speed, high altitude multi-role. While the RW MIG-25 could only carry 4 missile, PEA-23 can carry 14, PEA-23 ca fly higher and faster than MIG-25 under the right conditions.

PEA-24 has a pulse-doppler radar that is able to track 24 target at a time(air or ground) and it can drop bombs on target while traveling at MACH 2 and above 80,000ft(Flying higher than 79,000ft is not recommended).

What other infomation are you after?

Are these for sale? If they are I'll take 10 for 620 million dollars. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

You order is confirmed.

I'll also take ten for 620 million dollars. Money wired upon confirmation.

Not bad... but it looks like it's made outta paper :)

Just a little texture problem though... maybe add some specularity, or maybe a liuttle texture map?

Oh, wait, as for the stats:
90,000 FEET? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IS THERE EVEN AIR UP THERE?? :)

Oh, wait, as for the stats:

Maybe he used SR-71 engines?

Maybe he used SR-71 engines?It says Turbofan.

So, no.

SR-71 used RAMJets.

Question. At what heights are the performance speeds you've given attained?

Please note that 90,000ft can only be obtained for a short period of time. It is NOT recommended that the pilot high higher than 79,000ft. To get to these heights the pilot needs to be using reheat(Afterburner) and perform a power climb and to stay there he also needs to be a full burner the whole time with a slight angle up. (This is 100% possible as the highest a MIG-25 has gone is 124,000ft, but as before it can't be sustained). This action is NOT recommended and PEA take no responsibility if a failure occurs while a pilot attempts this action.

The "Never exceed speed" of MACH 3.0 can be attained from 40,000ft to 85,000ft (Flight above 79,000t is NOT recommended) in a clean configuration. The cruise speed of mach 1.25 can be attained with a normal weapons load and almost any altitude.

Feel free to ask more questions.

OOC: I chose only to add a simple texture to this plane mainly for one reason. I would have massive texture corruption. Remember how I sent you the picture and you said it looked like a liquid was on the wings that would have happened unless I spend time making my own texture. In the end I made a simple grey color and added a reflection map to it (You can see it on the tail fin). Time was the limiting factor here.

*plays with the paper plane* :D

Id like to see you fold paper with that much detail. It took me over 500 sheets to get it that good

Does it have any stealth capabilities?

I'll buy 20 for $4.2 billion. Money auto-wired on confirmation.

I will take 20 for 226 million dollars. Money will be wired apon confirmation. Also did you really fold this plane out of paper? If so you are really something!

Yeah its really good. I'll take ten more. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Tag for now.

Neat plane. We're still using the Jaguar.

But can your plane operate from a dirt road?????? :?:

Alasyia, your order of 10 in confirmed. Planes will be automatically dispatched upon payment.

Aanmericaa, your order of 20 is confirmed, But the cost is 1.24 billion and not 226million. You still need to pay 1014Million.

North Germania, you order is also confimed. Payment is only 1.24billion, the extra 2.96billion has been returned to you and should arrive with the first plane.


This plane has deisgned with a reduced radar cross section in mind and as such it does have a somewhat reduced cross section but no to the same extent as a true stealth plane as such.

The plane does not have rough field capabilities, so taking off on a dirt road is not recommened at all. While it will survive an attemped energancy landing it will require repairs after.

That looks like a really nice plane. Its a shame Im too poor to buy some. On a safety note though, you can see the cloud throught the wings - is this meant to happen?

We can work of a payment plan if you like. The more you buy the better the deal will get.


On the wings issue. You can't actually see the clouds throught the wings, whats happening is an optical illusion caused buy the color and type of texture used on the wings. I have adresses this issue already and an updated pic will be out very soon.

Ok, if I buy ten for 550,000,000 I have 100,000,000 from the sale of GO-11 Tigers which I can pay immediately and I can pay the remaining 450,000,000 at 50,000,000 per year for 9 years. Is that acceptable?

For an order of 10 I can discount the price down to 560million(56mil per plane or a 10% discount).

With a down payment of 100million you will have 460million remaining to pay-off over a 10year period. You can pay any amount of want per year as long as at the end of the 10year period the whole amount is paid off and at least 40million be paid each year.

That sounds reasonable. Thankyou for being so helpful.

Sorry about the quadruple post - it kept coming up with errors I didnt know it actually posted :?

Order confimred. Your planes are now being delivered.

Well we would like 120 of these craft for a total 7.8 Billion.

Chellis hasn't heared from its ally in quite some time, and chellian scientists are surprised to see aircraft development taking the same turn with both nations. Body-wing type aircraft, LTOL(Long take off/landing), etc... Chellian scientists request one; Not to reverse-engineer, but to see how it operates in comparison to the new V-121 scout.
