Today is a glorious day for Shenyang. We are about to unveil our new Air Dominance Fighter. To be known as the Broadsword. However we are openning the design to international scrutiny so as to eliminate any bugs we may have missed. the statistics are as follow:

F/A-1010 Broadsword
Crew: 1 pilot
Length: 17.2m
Wingspan: 21m
Height: 3.612m
Powerplant: 2 SMI-165 Afterburning Turbojets
Top Speed: Mach 3.6
Supercruise: Mach 2.4
Range: 1400 miles (unrefeuled)
Ceiling: 60,000ft
Max Take-off Weight: 80,000 lbs
Armament:
2 25mm gattling guns (1000 rounds each)
5 internal bays
Central Bay: 6 hardpoint for ATA or ATG weapons
Side Bay A: 3 hardpoints for ATA weapons
Side Bay B: 3 hardpoints for ATA weapons
Side Bay C: 1 hardpoint for ATA weapons
Side Bay D: 1 Hardpoint for ATA weapons
Other Systems:
Genesis 1st gen. stealth system
AWT-345 120mi. range radar
Canopy Projection HUD
3D thrust vectoring

Cost: 112 million usd

Description: The aircraft has wing mounted engines similar to that of the ME-262 that we once used, though heavilly improved, allowing for the interior of the body to be openned for greater weapons capacity, fuel, radar, anything that the mission might dictate. We would like to make a note of the fact that this aircraft can carry a limited number (4) of small cruise missles in the main bay.

OOC: Now that the description is done, any questions/comments

I'm guessing your slightly future tech?

Not really, though it could be used in very near future tech, if you look at the aircraft itself it really is a pheasible craft for modern, a bit out there yes, but entirely pheasible.

Come on people, oh well guess I'll just... BUMP

Top Speed: Mach 3.6
Supercruise: Mach 2.4
Range: 5000 miles (unrefeuled)

These figures seem to indicate a near future tech aircraft. What would be the maximum range for this aircraft be at mach 3.0?

OOC:A turbo fan ain't gonna push you over mach three, and you aren't going 5000 miles unrefueled. I'd lower speed to mach three, and range to about 1500 miles (that's probably stretching it)

OOC:Oh, yeah, wing mounted engines aren't going to be very maneuverable, that concept is very old and inefficient.

The fastest aircraft in the world, the SR-71, uses wing mounted engines :rolleyes:

The top speed is stripped of most of the extra equipment, I'll change the engines anyway, I don't like them. Lastly If you are stupid enough to fly at top speed you're asking for terrible range, but I'll drop it down to 2,000 miles (1600 if you fly full afterburn the whole way) Thanks for the input.

BUMP for new input.

$95-130million

Will you be selling these aircraft?

Now that I have a price for them, yes I will.

If at first you don't succeed, you have 2 choices, give up, or BUMP

Bump

OOC: I plan to buy these as FT items so...

Can they be retrofitted for space flight?

Sure, I'll have to increase the cost though, to around 125 million, I think, I'll finalize that later today or tommorow.

Bump

OOC: Tried, its in a .doc file (I paste into word because it easier)
Otherwise BUMP
Just open the .doc file, get a good view of it on ure monitor, hit Print Screen/SysRq and then open MS Paint. Go to Edit>Paste and then save trim it up and save the file a .jpg or .gif. then you got a pic u can upload....

That would work, if my computer had paint or anything like it, my computer comes with everything I want, except paint.

You're just gonna drive me insane about that damned picture aren't you.
BUMP

lol, what kind of computer doesnt have MS Paint or equivalent. Do you have a DOS machine?

No, my computer just doesn't have paint. It might have been deleted during one of my father's deleting rampages, but we don't have it.

I found a way, and FYI ignore the text unless you're future tech and looking to buy this thing.

BUMP for deleteing the pic. lunacy

The new Empire of Azaha would like to purchase one full wing of these fighters retrofitted for space flight.

To be sure that we are on the same page, please give me a numerical definition of how many fighters are in a wing in your fleet, so that I don't make a fool of myself.

we wish to purchase the latest model, could it be shipped in a kit so our scientists and engineers can look at it upclose and make changes if they find any flaws?? 112 Million dollars will be wired on confirmation.

Of course we will ship you the kit form, on the condition that we be informed of any major modifications. The kit is en route.

The Rogue Nation of ManyPink Fluffy Bunnys(MPFB) also wishes to purchase a kit form of the new plane. They would also like the kit form of the plane that has been modified for space flight.

*237 million wired upon confirmation*

Order confirmed. Kits are on the way.

The Dominion of Ruthless Slaughter wishes to buy 12 of these. We will wire 1 billion upon confirmation. We need them for study and possibly integration into our own technology. (aka Doom's new plane: F-25 Hound) *shameless plug*

Of course we will ship you the kit form, on the condition that we be informed of any major modifications. The kit is en route.

our scientists upon receiving it, while they were assembling it, found a flaw that can cause the afterburners to overheat and cause a fire in the engine, redesignd theafterburners with a liquid cooling system to reduce the risk of fire to almost zero and also it keeps the afterburners in good shape for a longer time, it also helps to keep the afterburners running for a longer period of time, we will send the blueprints our scientists came up with upon request free of charge.

(to Dragunovia)Thank you
(to RS) Despite the plug, your order is confirmed.

perhaps you should make a new thread titled "Broadsword ADF unveiled(for sale)"

Ha Ha Ha. (heavy sarcasm)

One full wing=25 fighters

Credits will be transfered once bth parties have been confirmed.

Remember, these must be upgraded for space flight.

Confirmed. Your total comes to 3.125 billion.

The fastest aircraft in the world, the SR-71, uses wing mounted engines :rolleyes:

OOC: Incorrect. I think that's the fastest manned aircraft. NASA's X-43 just broke it's own hypersonic speed record, Mach 10 I believe.

Nope, the X-43 isn't manned

Nope, the X-43 isn't manned
He said the X-34 isn't manned, and technically the SR-71 was the fastest operational military aircraft. The XB-70 Valkyrie was faster by about .3 mach ratings, but the first prototype killed 4 people in a midair collision due to the vortexes created by its downward wigtips and the program was scrapped shortly there after and the second prototype is at an air museum somewhere.

:headbang: :headbang: Too much information!!! :headbang: :headbang:
Oh, and thanks for the aircraft, we recieved them and are studying them now. :D
