Crew: One
Dimensions: Length 45 ft 0 in (13.72 m) for SOF-9A, 43 ft 8.6 in (13.33 m) for SOF-9B; Height 13 ft 4 in (4.06 m); Wing Span 36 ft 0 in (10.97 m) for SOF-9A, 30 ft 0 in (9.14 m) for SOF-9B; Wing Area 590.00 sq ft (54.81 sq m) for SOF-9A.
Engines: One Pratt & Whitney F119-PW turbofan derivative, designated SE614, rated at 42,000 lb st (186.9 kN) with afterburning and 34,000+ lb st (151.3 kN) without afterburning. (F119-PW-614C for CV/CTOL and F119-PW-614S for STOVL variant).
Weights: Empty Equipped 22,046 lb (10,000 kg) for SOAF CTOL and STOVL, 24,030 lb (10,900 kg) for CV/CTOL; Normal Take-off 38,000 lb (17,236 kg) for USAF CTOL; Maximum Take-off 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) for all variants.
Armament: Six AIM-120C AMRAAM or two AIM-120C AMRAAM and two 2,000 lb. JDAM in internal fusleage bay; provision for one 20mm M61A2 rotary cannon with 400 rounds in starboard wing root (USAF CTOL variant). Provision for 4 underwing pylons with 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) capacity each.
Performance: Maximum level speed 'clean' 1.6 at high altitude; Maximum rate of climb at sea level classified; Combat ceiling 50,000 ft (15,240 m); Combat radius on SOMI mission 600 nm (691 mls, 1110 km), on SOAF mission 850 nm (979 mls, 1575 km), on SON mission 750 nm (863 mls, 1390 km)
The latest design out of the SOGP Corporation, the SOF-9 is a truly versatile fighter. Capable of both VTOL and super-sonic speed, the SOF-9 is very nice addition to the Sigma Octavus Airforce and Naval forces. The SOF-9A is the primary design, mostly used inland. The SOF-9B is slightly smaller than it's counterpart. The smaller size is meant for more fighters to fit on an aircraft carrier. Because of the simpler frame, the price of this fighter is fairly low.
Price: (APTO only special) $65,000,000 USD
(OOC: I watched a NOVA special on the US JSF program, and I thought this fighter was pretty cool.)
