Class: Air Dominance Fighter.
Type: N.A.C. 3421, F-56 "Corillian"
Crew: 2; 1 additional passenger may squeeze in, but it is extremely uncomfortable.

* Destroying one of the wings will cause the aircraft to crash.
** This target is small, and difficult to hit.

Performance:
Maximum Speed: With the wings clean, (ie. no under-wing stores) the aircraft can achieve a maximum level flight speed of Mach 3.95. In full combat gear, the Corillian 's speed typically drops 0.2-0.5 Mach depending on the number of pods carried.

Maximum Altitude: 65,000 feet.

Maximum Endurance: The vectored jet thrusters of the Corillian are specially shielded, and designed to endure hours upon hours of extreme temperatures. In typical use it's maximum range is effectively unlimited, depending mostly upon the needs of the pilot. However, at maximum speed, the jets get very hot, and need to cool after a maximum of 20 hours of flight.

Statistical Data:
Height: 14' 2".
Wing Span: 42'.
Length: 58' 6".
Weight: 17 tons.
Maximum External Stores: 2.5 tons. (5,000 Lbs.)

Market Cost: It costs $54 million to produce each aircraft, not including any weapons other than the SM-433. The Corillian is sparingly sold on the open market, or on the black market to any independent nations. There have been only two exceptions to this rule in the past. Selling directly to the ADN, $2.2 Billion is owed by the Weapons-tech Weapons company
Weapon Systems, and by Hobbeebian Royal Airforce.

Arms:
1. 30 mm SM-433 Rapid Fire Assault Cannon: This is the primary weapon of the Corillian . Mounted in the nose, it is the only truly 'built in' weapon system carried by the aircraft. (Note that pod mounted and pylon mounted weapons are still considered integral since the targeting systems of the aircraft are still utilized in the aiming, arming, and deployment of the pod/pylon weapons.) This weapon is of a newer design, combining the technology of the snpier cannon with the concept of Weapons-tech incorp has become famous for. It fires a quick, concentrated burst of electromagnetically accelerated 30 mm cannon shells at a target, after the cannon shells are fired conventionally using a solid propellant not dissimilar to that used in ramjet rounds.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile.
Mega-Damage: 2D6x10+10 MD per 10 shell burst.
Blast Radius: A combined burst of explosive shells has about a 5' blast radius.
Rate of Fire: 10 shell bursts only.
Maximum Effective Range: 10,000'.
Payload: 250 shells, or 25 bursts.

2. Pod Spaces: The Corillian has 14 pod spaces of weapons distributed over it's sleek body. There is one mounted on each wing tip, typically loaded with AAMs, two under each wing, and then eight distributed along the belly of the aircraft in a 4x2 configuration. For a variety of pod weapons that may be added on at additional cost, here is a list of those Pod Weapons available through Weapons-tech incorp.


The Corillian Air Dominance Loadouts;
Configuration A: Speed: Mach 3.02
2 - AAMs
2 - SRM Pods
4 - LRMs
Configuration B: Speed: Mach 3.02
2 - AAMs
2 - MRM Pods
4 - LRMs
Configuration C: Speed:Mach 3.1
10 - AAMs
2 - LRMs
Configuration D: Speed: Mach 3.25
2 - AAMs
4 - SRM Pods
2 - MRM Pods

Hobbeebian Loadouts;
Configuration 1: Speed: Mach 3.25
6 - AAMs
4 - SRM Pods
Configuration 2: Speed: Mach 3.25
6 - AAMs
2 - SRM Pods
2 - MRM Pods

3. Systems of Note:
1. Military Radio & Scrambler: 500 mile range operable as either directional or broad band.
2. Radar & Target ID: 100 mile range! Is capable of look-down up to 25 miles out, is programmed with most aircraft (from before and after the Additionally, it is programmed to recognize 6,200 different species of flying monsters/D-Bees. Can track up to 44 targets simultaneously, and may attack up to 4 different targets at a time. (Can fire four different weapons at once.)
3. Advanced Targeting/Combat Computer: The advanced targeting computer allows the fly by wire system to make small adjustments in power, trim, and direction to assist the pilot in targeting providing to strike with all weapons when focusing on one target. The advanced targeting computer may also work in conjunction with the Radar to attack a target without actually facing the enemy
4. Inertial Navigation Computer: This system uses the gravitational forces of the earth, to plot out where exactly the aircraft is. This system, can effectively pinpoint the location of the Stiletto down to the nearest hundred yards, to the pilot.
5. Laser Detector: This nifty system sounds an alarm as soon as any laser targeting system even crosses over the Stiletto.
6. Radar Detector: This system notifies the pilot when he/she has been sighted on radar.
7. Telescopic Optics: This allows the Stiletto to "see" an object, or aircraft at ranges of 5 miles or more as though they were up close, in a sort of pop up window on the HUD.
8. Chaff & Flare Dispenser: This dual system is designed to negate the effectiveness of missiles without resorting to dangerous maneuvers and such when in the process of aiming, etc. If the incoming missile is Radar Guided, the Chaff has an 80% chance of throwing it off course, if it is Optical or Heat guided, the flare has a 90% chance of knocking it off course.
9. Remote Targeting System: This system allows the pilot of the Stiletto to transmit and receive coordinates and additional data on targets beyond visual or sensor range.
10. Command & Control Computer: This system operates on the concept of the Internet on cell phones. It allows ALL the aircraft in a unit to utilize the radar and other sensors of his/her fellow pilots in the unit. This has given birth to a whole new type of reconnaissance in which a squadron will spread out, with 20 mile gaps, and literally blanket an area, searching for whatever it is they are looking for. A squadron of 16 aircraft can thus cover 640 miles of territory with look-down radar!!
11. Ejection Seat: The pilot has an ejection seat and chute for use in emergency situations.

I hope that this is enough specs for you all

Price:$2.3 billion

I don't want to burst your bubble, but I am anyway. The dimensions you provided for your plane will not fit in a mach 4.25 cone, in fact the best you can do is around 2.95, but that is if it is a severe delta confing. Cool idea, it just won't work. Sorry if I seem like an ass, I'm a bit tired.

please give me a specific detail that would make you come to that conclusion.

you gave the dimesion of 58.5 feet nose to tail with a wing span of 42 feet. If you make a right triangle so that the long side is the longitudinal axis the short side is half the wing span and the hypotinus (sp?) is an imaginary line from nose to wingtip. the angle at the nose is roughly 19.71 degrees (tan-1 A = 21/58.5 ) where A is the angle between the wingtip to nose cord and the longitudinal axis. the equation A = sin-1 (1/Mach number) gives the maximum mach cone the design will fit in. Its been over a year since I took Eng 100, but I bugged one of the freshmen next door and they said the math checked out. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
THank you for your time and consideration... by the way, what overall design scheme were you going for anyway?

Design : not to sure kinda a little of everything. Now I could change the dem. to make it fit, could you help me out. my math is not to good at 12:30 at night and only having 2 hours sleep for the past 2 days.

if you want to keep the fuselage the same length you will have to go with a 28 foot wingspan. But that is only slightly longer than the venerable F-104. You could just increase the overall dimensions, but that would force you to go with either a delta wing or conard design like either the Saab Draken or Viggen. I'd go with the conard if you want better subsonic maneuverablitity and control. Or you can lower the proposed max speed, I mean, honestly, do you really need 4.25? The SR-71 wouldn't even go 4.0. You could consider going with a variable geomitry design similar to B-1, F-111, or F-14 (for US examples), but the mechanics needed adds alot of weight and hence lessens performance. what do you think?

true i'll just decrease the max. thanks for the info.
