Raysian Aerospace RF-27 Ambush UVAV

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/gucav.jpg

Specifications:
Tech Level: 2015
Role: Unmanned/Remote-Controlled Dogfighter/Attacker
Brother-System Interactive (http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/brother.htm)
Deployment: Short Take-Off/Landing (STOL)
Crew: Remote Controlled/Programmed Flight/AI
Wing Span: 10m
Length: 12m
Height: 3m
Weight: 9,000 lbs dry, 29,000 lbs max take-off
Powerplant: 1 Thrust-Vectored, Afterburning, Mostly Reversible REJH-1500 Jet Turbofan, rated at 25,000 lbf normal, and 33,000 lbf with afterburner.
Performance:
Maximum speed Mach 1.8
g limits: +11, -8. Airframe can stand up to 15gs
Range: Short
Endurance: 2 hours crusing, 90 minutes combat, 45 minutes all out.
Service Ceiling: 45,000 ft
Armament: 4 .50-Calibur cannon [250 ammo], and 6000 lbs of payload over 8 hardpoints. (can carry extra ammo for the cannons, or extra fuel, or bombs, or missiles, or whatever.)

Unique Features: This has the standard features of any Raysian UCAV... Thrust vectoring engine, Brother telemetry systems, Multi-Function Camera with IR and Motion Tracking, Next level AI, et cetera et cetera.

The truely remarkable feature of this quick attack craft is it's ability to perform rough landings and take-offs. It's frame is sturdy and light enough, it's gear is strong enough, and it's engines are poweful enough, to deploy this craft into the air from a dirt road or flat field!.

The RF-12 is the ultimate tool for any resistance force or secret outpost. This unmanned marvel can land and take-off in any place a Piston-Engine 20th century plane could!

One question on your mind might be why we would use this over a VTOL like a Harrier or Su-37 E-Type, and the two-part answer is, first, that the control needed for a VTOL is far too great to trust to an AI, and second because it makes this plane far more economical.

With a top-speed of mach 1.8, this plane can dogfight mostly anything your enemy will throw at you, and also works well at low-speeds as an anti-tank attacker.

Price: 9 million USD

The Raysian Aerospace RC-225 "Sky Commander"

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/rc225.jpg

Role: Armored Airborne Command and Control Center
Airframe: Heavily Modified Antonov An-225 Design
Crew: 3 Pilots, 8 Engineers, 105 C&C Officers, 42 Gunners
Length: 305 feet
Wingspan: 335 feet
Wing Area: 15,000 sq. ft.
Standard Weight: 1,550,000 lbm (including armor and fuel and weapons)
Payload: Small configurable cargo bay that can hold up to 150,000 lbs of cargo, or fuel (with refueling equipment)
Armor:: Extra 45mm of Titanium plating coating the ventral surfaces, and 10mm coating the dorsal.
Engines: 6 Raysian Electric PJ-1390 Mostly-Reversable Jet Turbofans rated at 155,000 lbf each (120,000 lbf reversable each)
Max Speed: Mach 0.9 (600 mph)
Range: 14000 miles (22400 km)
Ceiling: 44,000 ft
Armament: 19 manned 50 Calibur bubble turrets (WWII bomber style)
10 Bridge-Controlled QAAM launchers (16 QAAM-38 and 2 RAS-818 missiles each)
14 Computer-operated flak cannons
1 5 MW Anti-ICBM Airborne Laser (on nose)
10 0.5 MW Automated Anti-Missile Lasers (around hull)
Several banks of Chaff and flare deployers
Takeoff Distance: 7,500 ft.
Landing Distance (With reverse thrust): 8,000 ft

NOTE: Some may ask why this design was chosen over the BWB jumbo jets that Raysia Aerospace also manufactures. Although the BWBs are able to carry more weight, they make much larger targets, are slower, less maneuverable, and are harder to land at non-Raysian airports. The -225 series is able to land at most international-size airstrips. The RC-225's great max speed comes from it's shear thrust.

Special Systems: Besides being a massive Command and Control center, The RC-225 houses a Brother (http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/brother.htm) system command suite, which can share information with all of Raysia's forces via sattelite or radio telemetry. It carries several large radomes to scan both air, ground, and long range. It also has numerous digital cameras and infrared suites that can feed data into the Brother system and convert the pictures, cross it with the radar, and send precise data on enemy and friendly locations to everyone in the air or on the ground.

Price: 250 Million

I would like to purschase 10 of these to copy it's designs to make a Nycton model :wink:.

Lovely Work Raysia. Very good. How long have you worked on this? The amount of information is very nice, lots of detail on the armament and it's features.

What is the new 'skin' you are using on all your ships and planes these days?

Nycton: order confirmed and immediately inbound.

Crossroads: Thanks! You should see the stuff in my development threads now! I'll update the adamworks page here on NS to fill you all in. Anyway, it's the same skin, I've just been experimenting with bump mapping, procedural tecture overlays, and reflection maps etc... anything to make it look cool :)

Did you see the wig-ship I made for Jordaxia?

[[PIC]] I have! The detail on it is Amzing! I have seen other designs for Water skimming ships like this. That you have taken one and turned it into literally a flying battleship is really good!

It is really incredable that you are doing such work with the same program as your old early ships! I have to ask just how much you have in development... Im still curious if you could do a few things for me.

I have to warn you right now that I'm not that great with curvy objects like ships... trimarans are easy, but most other stuff is kinda hard.

Watertest would like to purchase 1,500 Raysian Aerospace RF-27 Ambush UVAV's......The total comes to $13,500,000,000......

Watertest would like to purchase 1,500 Raysian Aerospace RF-27 Ambush UVAV's......The total comes to $13,500,000,000......whoo!!

Order confirmed. They will arrive in equal incriminets over the next 15 months.

The above seems like a sensible order.
The Progressive Empire of Jordaxia would like to purchase that too.

Hamanistan would like to purchase two (2) RC-225s. 500,000,000 will be wired once confirmaiton is received.

I must reiterate - Raysia, I really, really hate you.

Zoogiedom would like to acquire a total of 40 RF-27 unmanned combat aerial vehicles, and 62 RC-225 ... er...*has trouble coming up with designation* ... flying...thingies.

A procurement of $15.86 billion is in order. We would like you to hold off production for three or four years, and take as much time as you need.
