D-F1 "Millenium"

http://www.ungaaktiesparare.se/images/bilaga1101_saab-bild.jpg

The Emerald Shipyard Corporations first try at a fighter. The Millenium is a high-tech multirole fighter, quite possibly one of the best in the world. After the fall of the Demcor Corporation, Demidia needed another source for its military needs. The Emerald Shipyard Company was born, after a few years, it branched from warships to missiles and now, to fighters. We think we have hit a winner with the Millenium.

Reconnaissance
With a centreline camera pod, accompanied by a video-hyperactive lens, it can perform a low level recon, from the saftey of high altitude.

Strike Mission
Armed with the DAS-103 “Empire” Air to Surface Missile and extra fuel tanks, the Millenium is perfect for long range anti surface missions.

Dogfighter
Armed with DAA-101 “Racer” Medium Range Air to Air Missile and a powerful 27mm cannon, it can scrap with the best of them.

Single Engine
Unlike most of the next generation fighters of tomorrow, the Millenium features a single engine based of the Orenda Iroquois engine of the 50s, don't let the age of the technology fool you, the original Iroqouis pumped out a whopping 30,000 pounds of thrust with afterburners. ESCO Engineers have tweaked the original Iroquois to meet government requirements of costs and weight. The ESCO's Iroquois II pumps out 37,251 pounds of thrust, this more than meets the Milleniums needs, and therefore, only requires one engine.

Air Defender
The Millenium can be equipped with 4x DAA-102 “Fatboy” Long Range Air to Air Missiles and 2x DAA-101 “Racer” Medium Range Air to Air Missiles. Paired with the Russian "Zaslon" Phased Array Radar, it poses a huge threat to incoming bombers.

Cockpit
A bubble canopy offers a superior 360degree panoramic view for the pilot. Specially structured seats and a remarkable 6 point harness strap the pilot in safley, yet comfortably as well. Various systems have been enabled for superior piloting, including fly-by-wire technology, a armrest mounted mini-joystick for improved mobility through tough g-force banks.

D-F2 "Virus" Strike Fighter

The Virus is one of the fastest and deadliest Strike Fighters in the world. The Virus uses advanced radar and avionics to deliver a vast array of weapons night or day, in rain, sleet or snow. Advanced, Zaslon Radar as well as a secondary puslating doplar rader, combined with a GPS Tracking System second to none, makes this a potent enemy, for sea, land, or air.

Strike Mission
Armed with the DAS-103 “Empire” Air to Surface Missile and extra fuel tanks, the Virus should be the absolute number -one choice for strike missions on enemy targets.

Dogfighting
With its massive engines, and multiple hardpoints, combined with a 20mm Vulcan, this makes for one tough fighter. Armrest mounted mini-joysticks allow for maximum mobility even in tight g-forces, this gives you an edge over the competition.
