I currently cant host the picture, but here is a link to the picture:
http://www.freewebs.com/screaminmonkeys/x55.htm


The X-55 Merlin Hawk is diesigned to replace all light bombers and all fighters. With its stealthy diesign (in picture it's gray, but it actually has RADAR absorping black) this fighter and bomber multirole craft has already been experimented by the Truitt AirForce.

Max Speed- Mach 1.1 manuvering; Mach 3.9 Horizan
Engines- Towner and Rowley Fussion Engine (two engines, two exalst)
Max payload
(wing)-8 small air-to-air, 4 small bombs (4 air- to air large, 2 air to air large bombs)
(body)-30 air to air small, 15 air to air large (can not hold bombs in body)

Although the bombing is very rough, we are diesigning the XL-55 Praying Hawk which will be a bomber version.

I will take orders, I can get as many as any needs, half the orders will be sent till confermation of payment, then the other half.

X-55 Merlin Hawk - 450Million TND (900Million USD)

ADD ONs-
AIM-156 DRACO Air-to-air Missle
Range- 140miles
Powerhouse- Douglas RAM 44 Single Turning Engine
Dog Fight Effect (follows target, even if it misses)- Yes
Percentage of taking Flare- 30% (unlike the SPARROW which is 60%)

Cost per craft fitting max (15 in body) 400million TND (200million USD)

These prices are low, and I may lower the prices for some people I have done buisness with before.

P.S.
I am the only nation who currently produsess this aircraft, I have in fact for some reason or an other given some to other nations to aid them in fighting for wars or other things. All X-55 Are trade marked by the Armed Forces of Truitt and the name of it will never change, although proceding clas (Ex. X-55J Merlin Hawk; X-55V Merlin Hawk) can be used if you wish to add your own touch to the craft (new panel, weapon mods, so on) the DRACO missle is also trade mark, and you may end it in class letter also.

Love the pic but I think it is too fast :(
slow it down, and i'll buy some :wink:

Do u do them in blue?
-- Ben L.

They can come slow, the newer version, the X-55G Comes in Blue or Gray (gray is shown), it is however slower, and it has no bombing capabilities. It's stealth is a little lower.

With black RADAR absorbing paint, it shows as a small bird on RADAR, most RADARs automaticaly delete this information, for they find it useless.

The Blue color, which has some RADAR absorbing abilities, comes up as a large goose, most RADARs also delete this information.

It's speed in the G modle (the B modle was the one on the first post) goes about 2.3 Mach straight, and .90 Manuverable.

However, in B modle, in order to invade (fire missles), it can not go any faster than mach .85, that is why the B modle is more used, although for long range strikes, the B modle would be best for getting there faster and less detected.

Also, a dark maroon like color is being diesigned for stealth and maybe on the market later in the future, also DRACO has opened the path for a new air to air missle I am working on, the ATASM (Air to Air Super Weapon) which has some nuclear properties.

With the blue paint, and subtract 5,000 TND (10,000 USD) from it, becouse the more stealthy paint costs quite a bit.

For the less, more fighter friendly slower modle G, Probaly 400Million TND (200million USD)

The diesign makes it very easy and cost-effective to build, it also is very light weight, and I have two extra addons avalible for carrier operations

Short Take off Sparker (Exhost Pipes can move more upwards and downwards than with the Defult modles)- 1million TND each (500,000USD)

Hester Line Hook/Anti-Shock Gear (for carrier landing-less tear on landing gear)- 2.5million TND each (1.25million USD)

Hester Line Hook(carrier landing)- 2million TND each (1million USD)

Once agian, after request, half order will be sent, when payment is wired, I will send rest.

dang, no one really likes these I guess....

OOC: I'm not sure how you can have an aircraft with only one engine that can go Mach 4... You'd need a scramjet. And it isn't safe to manuver at Mach 3... Aircraft really can't manuver over Mach 1.

This was my first disign I made, so yeh, it probaly has some problems.

Also, I used Flight Simulator 2004 Aircraft Designer to create that picture and it would not allow two engines with that design (however, I did it on a 2000 version but was lost when my comp got that worm)

I will be updating the information above to make it seem more realalistic.
