STATISTICS

Length: 61 feet 11 inches
Wingspan: (unswept of 64 feet) (swept of 37' 11”)
Sweep Angle: 20 degree normal, 68 degree max flight and 75 degree hangar storage
Height: 16 feet
Propulsion: 2 F-110-GE-500 turbofans with afterburners
Thrust: 29,500 pounds per engine
Maximum Take-Off Weight: 73,850 pounds.
Ceiling: 56,000 feet
Max-speed: (AB) mach 2.55 (cruise) mach .78 (approach) .25 knots
Combat Radius: 700 nm (with external tanks) 550 nm (without tanks)
crew: 2 (1 pilot and 1 RIO)
Armaments: 14,000 pounds of weapons off of 10 hardpoints.
Weapon list/possible loadouts: standard M61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon
6 AIM-54, 2 AIM-9 plus 2 Harpoons, or bombs, or tanks
4 AIM-120, 4 AIM-9, plus 2 Harpoons, or bombs, or tanks
4 AAMs plus 4 AGM missiles and 2 bombs or tanks or 6 AGM missiles

SPECIAL Air-Air capabilities
TV camera scope allows the F-14 to ID bogeys at a range of 60 nm without the use of RADAR.
AIM-54 Phoenix missile system: The F-14 is the only plane capable of carrying this long range missile with it's 115 nm range. IDF is working to improve the AIM-54C missile with the AIM-54I Phoenix
New system allows data for targeting the AIM-54 Phoenix with input sent from Aegis surface ships or AWACs planes. This decreases F-14 Radar usage and increases detection range.
New Israeli Defense Industries radar has Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) capabilities. The range is slightly increased over the older RADAR and is harder to detect and jam.
Swing wings allow better ACM (air combat maneuvering)

SPECIAL Air-Ground capabilities
LANTIRN pod allows laser guided AGMs and other bombs to be guided without ground based laser and improves accuracy.
Increased take-off weight, the F-14I has an increased take off weight and additional hardpoints allowing fuel to be sacrificed for more bombs if need be.
FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) allows the finding of tanks

GENERAL SPECIAL CAPABILITIES
Pancake shaped after fuselage allows a greater fuel carrying capability and allows the F-14I to have more range than the F/A-18s, older F-14s, or F-35s.
Swing Wings improve dog-fight capabilites, reduce drag, increase speed, and allow better and more stable carrier capabilities.
Fastest carrier aircraft around, Mach 2.55 speed is mach .15 faster than the F-14B/D. It is the fastest carrier plane around.

PRICE = $45 million

Can the production rights be sold? I mean, so we can build our own batch?

Ok, thanks. Wasn't planning on SELLING any, no, just wanting to build my own.

Anywho....I'll think about buying some :)

200 F-14 for 900 million dollars

This order is confirmed. That should easily supply 3 Nimitz air wings assuming you have no other planes.

I don't fear others sell it, the point is we use classified construction methods that I don't want getting out.

Roger that, I understand fully.

IDF,
We wish to purchase 3 squadrons of your aircraft (24 planes). this will cost $10, 800,000.

We would also like to know if there will be any consequences to reverse-engineering this aircraft.

However, we will be making the purchase regardless of the afformentioned question.

thank you,

confirmed, like other aircraft, this is upgradable so changes can be made to stuff like RADARs or electronics.

A compliment squadron of these fighters will be issued to every carrier battle group.

500 F-14I Fighters @ 45M=22.5 Billion

The funds will be wired once order is confirmed.

The Defence Department wants to purchase six-hundred of such planes. Total money comes to twenty-seven billion USD.

Money will be wired upon COnfirmation.

Would you please answer my question about reverse engineering?

It's possible with the birds.

OOC: You should use the Aim-152. It never got passed planning stages, but I could sell you the production rights really cheap.

I'll look into it
