Technical Specs

V-25 Osprey-II Troop Transport / Heavy Gunship

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/V-22_overpax.jpg

The Osprey-II is one of very few military vehicles that is used exclusively by the ICRC military. We of the Free Air corporation are very proud to be presenting this home-grown aircraft to the world. It is a VTOL capable craft, and an upgrade on the previous design of the same name. All the supposed problems with the original Osprey have been worked out and corrected or fixed. Also, along with a slight increase in size, the Osprey-II also features an in-built turbojet engine with an intake in the nose of the craft and backfan in the rear of the craft for increased cruising speeds. Some wing-space has been sacrificed in the interest of more fuel-room, and as such the Osprey-II has a much longer range than its predecessor. Lastly, the previous engine has been replaced with a newer model "Big Bertha" engine capable of a much greater power output with a slightly smaller fuel input, increasing the Osprey-II's effective range even more.

Primary Function: Long-Range Troop Transport

Top Speed: 240 mph ; 400 mph with turbojet at the cost of greater fuel consumption

Effective Range (Assumes a return journey): 800 miles

Max Takeoff Weight: 50,250 lb Vertical Takeoff/Landing (VTOL)

Cargo Capacity:
15 Regular Infantry
9 Special Operations Troopers with appropriate gear
4 Light Armored Infantry in power suits

Crew: 2 ; One pilot, one co-pilot

Length: 60' 3"

Height 21' 4"

The Osprey-II can also be outfitted for Gunship duties, at the expense of transport capabilities.

Armament:

.50 Cal Chain-fed Gun: 1500 Rounds
6 Phoenix Anti-Air Missiles; Mounted under main compartment
8 Hellfire Anti-Armor Missiles; 4 per wing
4 Fracas Missile Pods; 15 Missiles per pod

Cargo Capacity:

4 Regular Infantry
1 Special Operations Trooper with appropriate gear

Effective Range (assumed return journey): 650 miles

TR-11 Great Whale Equipment Transport Ship

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/c5_1.jpg

The TR-11 Great Whale is an aircraft rarely seen outside Industrial Experiment. As of yet, their usage in military operations has been limited, as the sheer amount of carrying space they provide has been unneeded. They do, however, compare quite nicely with the current C-5 Galaxy transport, and as such their role in combat is already determined. In fact, they use the same power-plant as this already infamous transport plane. Though smaller and capable of carrying slightly less cargo, the TR-11 is less expensive, and able to more take advantage of the powerful engines it has, and as such has a higher top-speed and lower needed runway times. Lastly, the TR-11 has been fitted with a framework to allow for easy attachment of throw-away rocket boosters meant to propel the ship into the air and detach, allowing for VTOL capabilities.

Primary Function: Equipment Airlift and Recon

Power Plant: Four General Electric TF39-GE-1C turbofan engines.

Thrust: 41,000 pounds, each engine.

Length: 237 feet, 9 inches

Height At Tail: 63 feet, 5 inches

Maximum Takeoff Weight: 723,000 pounds

Maximum Wartime Takeoff Weight: 812,000 pounds

Takeoff/Landing Distances:
10,050 feet takeoff fully loaded;
4,215 feet land fully loaded

Wingspan: 227 feet, 4 inches

Speed: 563 mph

B-90 Judgement Heavy Bomber

**NOT FOR SALE AS OF YET**

Mk I Howard Moven Pinch-Fusion Reactor

Here is the original transcript sent out the world over when work began on this wonderful technology.

As its initial globally available product, the Yao-Ming Corporation of the Federation of Industrial Experiment is proud to preview for all you good leaders of the free world a technology that could very well change how we look at power generation. With the initial studies and early development being carried out by Industrial scientist Howard Moven and his core group of Electro-magnetics experts, the rights to the equations Moven developed from the Yang-Mills field equations were bought by the Yao-Ming Corporation, recently formed by the Garthan Business Trust for that very purpose. Over the last five years, and for a period projected to be between one and four more years, the Yao-Ming Corporation has and continues to work with these equations to create the exact type of magnetic field that would be required to compress, and thus heat, a certain hydrogen isotope that is very conducive to nuclear fusion. So far, the Yao-Ming Corporation has been able to create a stable, controlled fusion reactions for experimentally indefinite periods of time, and is currently working on perfecting mass production techniques for the machinery required to generate the needed magnetic field.

This new technology, dubbed pinch-fusion by some of those that worked on it, could lead to breakthroughs in energy production, as the output is seemingly limitless. It is very theoretically possible to power an entire region containing a dozen cities the size of New York for half a human lifetime with only a small farm of these reactors. Also, these reactors present a very attractive, and very safe, alternative to existing fission engines employed in modern naval ships. They require signifigantly less solid radiation shielding, as the magnetic fields themselves are quite sufficient in that area, and they also offer an extended lifetime in great orders of manitude larger than a more contemperary fission reactor.

When one takes into account the simple process by which normal water may be diluted down to the base hydrogen fuel, one would arrive at the conclusion that a sea-ship would no longer be limited by the fuel it can bring with it, but rather the amount of supplies it decides to load the ship with.

The Yao-Ming Corporation is looking forward to releasing this product to the world at large, and will be taking orders from now until release. Expected pre-order prices average 10 billion Isolats (1 Isolat = 2.5 USD) per unit, but this price is negotiable, and will be effected by bulk orders. Upon release, the price shall shift according to production costs. Initial shipments should be expected upon completetion of the industrial complexes needed to produce the reactor equipment, a date estimated to be in about two or three years.

Deposits may be made into the Terenial Banking Corporation's main branch in the capitol city of Industrial Experiment, Isoloti, through direct wire transmission or through telegraph.

All orders will include an AI program designed specifically for assisting in the installation of the new reactors into whatever facilities you may decide upon, and additionally in converting whatever existing facilities that need such conversion to be able to correctly house the reactor. Lastly, it will contain plans on how to build a mass distillery from which the hydrogen fuel may be derived from water. Alternate distillery plans for creating hydrogen fuel from other substances available upon request.

- Frank Hallsworth, CEO and President of the Yao-Ming Corporation

While things have changed slightly in the business plan, and the Yao-Ming Corporation is no longer selling the technology, the rest remains essentially the same. The price is changed, and the distillery will not be sold seperately without an AI program to help in construction.

The technology works by using several specially designed magnets and an electric field to create an ever-shrinking magnetic field that, with the correct hydrogen fuel, will be able to compress the fuel enough that temperatures will reach levels at which fusion is possible. No further elaboration will be given for fear of theivery.

Also, any nation buying one of these reactors will be required to go through a thorough backround check and sign a non-disclosure contract stating that they will not, under any circumstances, reverse-engineer, sell, replicate, or steal any portion or whole of the pinch-fusion technology and generator system.

-We thank you for your time, and await any business you should chose to bring to us.
