F/A-91 "Savage" Multi-Role Aircraft
The F/A-91 Multi-Role fighter was developed and designed to fill the sore need of this type of aircraft in the air force’s inventory. Previously, the air force had to group F-57 fighters and F-71 fighter bombers together (which weren't too good at aerial combat), which didn’t go over too well with air force (and army) strategists who felt only a single aircraft should be needed for the role. Designers went to work and soon enough, the F/A-91 was born. A cross between the F-57 and the F-71, she shares a few characteristics with the two aircraft but is of primarily new design. The air force and navy bickered over the project, one wanting to design it for its own reasons, the other doing the same. Finally, the two compromised and created two variants, the Air Force’s single seater -91A variant and the Navy’s -91B variant. The two also agreed to allow the aircraft to ‘intermingle’ in the services, so the Navy would also possess the ‘A’ variant (For ground stations) and the Air Force could possess the ‘B’ variant for training and other types of missions.
Combining the F-57’s sheer speed and agility with the F-71’s awesome weapons payload, the F/A-91 is truly a multi-role fighter to be reckoned with.
Engine
The F/A-91A/B utilizes a single ARSB-developed advanced SB-APDE-ATF-498AXE pulse-detonation/turbofan hybrid engine which gives the F/A-91A/B unmatched speed and maneuverability. The massive engine, coupled with the ARSB's advanced turbine system and the ARSB's Advanced Three-Dimensional AQT-80 Vectored Thrust system which can vector the engine's massive amount of thrust at angles up to 80 degrees and using enough speed to complete a full 160 degree conversion in about three seconds, meaning this aircraft can do full S-maneuvers without losing speed, control, or stability. The engine can put out an amazing 44,000 pounds of thrust which can propel this aircraft to speeds of Mach 3.6. It can supercruise at Mach 2.4.
Design
The F/A-91A/B was designed with aerodynamics, stealth, and control in mind. Her modified wing structure gives her unparalleled lift and control possibilities. Her overall design is of one that creates little resistance, not so much as in the aerodynamic ‘view’ but in the theory of combining air flows, therefore minimizing rearwards turbulence which can negatively affect performance. Her lines and structure create as little turbulence as possible, much less than most modern aircraft.
Another major design feature was stealth. Her body combines curves and angles to create a very small RCS. Combine this with an extensive fourth generation radar-absorbent material coating, and her RCS rivals that of a small insect.
Weaponry
Being chiefly designed to fulfill the multi-role fighter capabilities of the Future Air Force, the F/A-91A/B was primarily developed to maintain and use air to air munitions of medium to close range type along with ground attack weaponry from guided missiles to guided and unguided bombs. It has numerous hard-points for weapons to be mounted on including wingtips, three hard-points underneath each wing, and three hard-points underneath the fuselage. Four more hard-points are located within recessed berths in the aircraft’s fuselage.
To aid in aerodynamics and in stealth, each outer hard-point (except wingtip) can be encased in an angular ‘bubble’ which would cover the weapon and ‘blend’ it into the wing structure, reducing overall RCS (at least improving on what it would have been) and aiding in aerodynamics and flight abilities.
The F/A-91A/B also maintains a single 30mm advanced chain gun which uses a small ALMRS/TTAC-03Mk II firing solution computer to track targets in a small cone in front of the weapon. This cannon system, the ACST-30 System, uses the computer to utilize information from the aircraft's radar and other sensors to track an aircraft in front of the F/A-91A/B in a small cone that radiates outwards. The ACST-30 is mounted in a semi-sealed 'bubble' underneath the aircraft and can maneuver inside this bubble to fire on enemy aircraft. This means that the F/A-91A/B only has to point its nose in a general direction while its cannon moves and locks onto the aircraft then opens fire either on its own or by the pilot's control. [The weapon is mounted internally and can be retracted, it can swing and actuate inside the aircraft to fire on anything in the ‘cone’ in front of the aircraft]
This cannon can also target and fire upon ground units. Another feature is the ability for it to be fired not by itself or by the pilot, but can also be fired by anyone with access to the ARSB’s Global Defense Net (GDN) (this system can be shut down per commanding officer’s request or by the pilot; therefore, it is not always active).
Systems (Avionics and Weapons)
The ARC/MSR-91 is the central targetting, tracking, and firing solution computer and branches out into the following other subsystems:
SB-AIRCST-15S which is the ARSB-developed Infrared Search and Track system. This system scans the entire area and at ranges up to 120 km for any heat signature. When a signature is found, the system tracks the target and provides the weapons computer a firing solution, then a missile can be fired and that missile's own guidance system can take over and steer the missile to its target or it can receive updates from the aircraft's computer.
SB-OLT-91 this is a small ‘passive light sensor’ which detects obstructions (dark spots and at a miniscule scale) during daylight missions and compares it to a known database. It also redirects other systems to the ‘spot’ in order to target and/or identify it. It has multiple settings from very fine (can spot a bird at 5 km) to coarse (basically aiding in visual sight [looking to the rear, above, below, whatever.]).
SB-ALRQ/R90A Is the F/A-91B’s advanced long range composite multi-frequency radar.
SB-AMRQ/R72 This system is the F/A-91A/B's advanced medium range radar.
SB-AMRQ/R14D is the F/A-91A/B’s advanced short range composite ID radar coupled with ASRQ/L11 look-down ground attack radar
SB-AMLQ/RX9 is the F/A-91A/B's multi-dimensional medium range laser detection system. This uses banks of laser emitters to emit laser beams all across the horizon. These beams are invisible (to the naked eye). The banks actuate positions repeatedly, scanning the horizon. An accompanying optical system actuates with the banks and if any laser hits an object, the optical system will target it and the fighter can engage the target. This system can be turned off by the pilot or WSO/NSO depending on the mission.
ARC-597 computer system is the F/A-91A/B’s tracking portion of the ARC/MSR-91 computer package. Using the IRST and the AMRQ/R72 radar (as well as all other radar systems on board), this system can track nearly three-hundred (300) targets at ranges of nearly 350 km. This powerful system can also bring firing solutions on up to 50 targets in a 100km range depending on the range of the missile and can also identify up to 20 of those targets. The ARC-597 can also identify target headings and trajectories at the farthest range and display them inside the pilot's helmet or on the advanced deep HUD.
MSR-91: This portion of the package is the main targetting computer. It can actively target nearly one hundred of the tracked objects that the ARC-597 is tracking and can bring up firing solutions on 60 of them at once and fire on up to six simultaneously. This system also relies on the IRST and the radar to provide up to date target information for it to process and turn into firing solutions.
AHVDS- The Advanced Helmet-mounted Visual Display system is a three-visor system mounted on the pilot and weapon officer's helmets. One visor folds over the left eye and displays target information as well has current speed, heading, weapons selected, a small forward-facing radar screen cut, and altitude. The second visor folds over the right eye and displays weapon information, fuel, ammunition, lock-on variables, displays arrows to show where enemy fighters are and display a chevron over an enemy fighter when its locked on. The third visor covers the entire face and can track targets across the visor, it displays other information the two smaller visors don't. A fourth visor is the basic sun-visor. But, when the sun-visor is down, the three information-displaing visors change brightness to where the information is easy to read in the darker conditions.
ADVSCAD- Advanced Deep Visual Scan Canopy Awareness Display System- This system is a series of projectors located through-out the cockpit that project data onto the canopy in a seemingly ‘deep’ environment. Using known faults in the human eye, the system projects data that seems out in the air surrounding the canopy, when in reality it is on the canopy glass. This system shows targeting information, enemy whereabouts, heading information, aircraft information, battle information, command information, radar information, and others. It is fully configurable and can be modified to suit pilot needs or requests.
AMS/MC-MS3: This system links together the motor controls in the wings, aileroins, tail, canards, and the thrust vectoring into one system. Combined, these control surfaces make the F/A-91A/B so maneuverable it's almost hard to believe. This system also links them with fiber optic cable technology and advanced servo systems to provide smooth, precise handling and quick response to commands, making this fighter so smooth and agile to operate, a trainee who's flown a trainer jet could hop in one of these and seem like he's been flying it for years.
AMGTS/D40-9: This system is the munition guidance system and is composed of three main subsystems. The first is the pod-mounted laser guidance sensor which uses a variable strength laser to guide munitions to their target. And since it's mounted in the pod, the aircraft could be flying far away from the target and still guiding the weapon in. It is coupled with an optical/low-light sensor for optical guidance. Along with this is the secondar laser guidance which can only guide weapons in the forward hemisphere of the aircraft. The third system is an infrared beacon mounted in the rotating 'pod', this can highlight areas for targetting by bombers, ground forces, etc.
Armor
The F/A-91A/B is outfitted with an extensive, lightweight armor underneath the radar-absorbant materials and frame. Most of the armor is provided by using honeycombed kevlar and epoxy resin with a layer of extremely dense plastic threads, capable of stalling some anti-aircraft rounds and absorbing many pieces of shrapnel. This is supplemented with carbon fiber plates which assist in resistance. The aircraft also uses many new alloys and composites including Titanium Carbonate (CO3) and pure titanium to provide tensile strength in extreme maneuvers and/or crashes.
Crew Survivability
The aircraft maintains a single SB-ASEV-41A ejection seats (two in F/A-91B) that meets all ARSB standards for safe operation and has three activation points: between the crewmember's legs, just under the seat; one to the right of the crewmember, next to the seat; and two located behind the crewmember's head.
The cockpit area is armor protected and strengthened. Each crewmember is given the AHAAN protective aerial suit, which is self sealed and has a small back-pack device that contains nearly two hours of oxygen. When the crewmember is sitting in the aircraft's seat, a small nozzle is locked into a reciever unit and oxygen from tanks on the aircraft are diverted into the suit. These suits will protect the crew from NBC threats and are pressurized, they are also G-suits. The entire cockpit is also sealed and pressurized, with heated, breathable air running freely from onboard air tanks. The aircraft can recycle its own air and carries an onboard supply of fourteen hour
Countermeasures/Wave Cancellation
The F/A-91A/B maintains a single electronic countermeasures system (the AFFC/SIRR-12) which is an active radar cancellation system and utilizes a small radar dome underneath the aircraft to locate the incoming radar pulses of a radar-guided missile, it then fires its own radar pulses at a set frequency and size (determined from the missile's radar pulses). This confuses the enemy radar (by canceling out its own waves) and usually causes it to believe that it has reached its target, it then explodes... This system is networked with five panels of radar emitters facing forward, to the right, left, rear, and to the ground and can project the cancellation waves against most radar-emitting sources (it even works on ground radar). It works by canceling out the radar wave, meaning the station that sent the wave will never notice a ‘black spot’ or any type of return as the wave is cancelled out. The small ‘pod’ with the system in it is the active anti-missile portion of the system. The panels are the anti-ground radar portion. The anti-missile portion also doubles as to cancel aircraft radar as well.
The secondary portion of this countermeasures suite is its short computer jamming system which can jam radars at their computer core and infrared systems. This is accomplished by using a localized microwave emitter located in the same ‘pod’. The emitter fires an intense, but short pulse of microwaves which would strike the missile and effectively ‘melt’ the circuitry as well as royally fuck up anything made of metal.
The F/A-91A/B has three types of disposable countermeasures, numbers listed in ( ) :
Flares- infrared countermeasure (26)
Chaff pods- radar countermeasure (22)
Electrical Disturbance pods- creates a surge of electricity in an area and can mess up a missile's computer (4)

This aircraft has an air-refueling nozzle for boom-type refueling, located behind the canopy.
