The Raysian Aerospace RF/A-X7 "Forzando"

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/rfax7bp.gif

Replacement for the RF-11
Specifications:
Tech Level: 2006+
Role: Heavy Dogfighter/Attacker
Brother-System Interactive (http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/brother.htm)
Deployment: Short Take-Off/Landing (STOL)
Crew: 1
Wing Span: 14m
Length: 20m
Height: 5.5m
Weight: 29,000 lbs absolutely dry, 55,200 lbm standard (including standard built-in payload and fuel) / 77,500 lbm max take off
Powerplant: 2 Vectored-Thrust REPH-1100 Pulse-Det Hybrids
Max Normal thrust: 25,000 lbf each
Max plus afterburner: 30,000 lbf each
Pulse Detonation: adds 7,500 lbf each
Aux Power: Two Raysian Aero Mk III Aux. Pulse-Det "Blaster" pods, outputting an additional 15,000 lbf of force (for STO and quick accelleration)
Performance:
Maximum speed (with only QAAMs onboard, full fuel, and all engines at full, and flying at 30,000 feet): Mach 1.56 supercruise, mach 2.4 afterburn, Mach 3.1 with post-combustion detonation (pulse engines) over the Jets, Mach 3.9 with all engines on (The shear total force of 105,000 overcomes the resistance of the wings)
g limits: +15, -10 (So be careful!) Automatic safeties prevent the plane from pulling unsafe g-forces and harming the pilot.
Airframe can stand up to 19gs
Fuel: 2440 gallon Fuel tank in fuselage 15,000 lbm total
Range: (Normal load) (internal fuel tanks) (no blasters): 2500 miles (4000 km)
Service Ceiling: 65,000 ft
Armament: 1 VMT M91A1 Rainstorm 30mm Precision Guided Cannon (In a stealthy concealed hatch), 2 QAAM reloaders (with 6 QAAM-38s in each, for standard load), plus up to 20,000 lbs of payload over 8 concealable hardpoints, and 4 internal hardpoints.

Unique Features: The turret mounted Flak Cannon with 35 ammo, 3D thrust vectoring, "Blaster" pods for STO ability, and all are Carrier capable.

Is coated in radar-absorbing materials, as well as a low-feature airframe, giving it good stealth ability against long-range radar, equivelant to an F-22.

Also has Super-maneuverability greater than the F-22 (when Blasters are not factored in).

Has built in reconnaissance equipment such as a multi-functional digital Camera bank.

The engines have enough power to climb vertically nearly immediately after take-off, and keep going until ceiling.

The tails are able to fully rotate on all axis. It works as a rudder, or a stabilizer, or an elevator, or works especially well as large airbrake (preferably when landing)

Computers: Advanced Autopilot to automatically land the plane on a carrier or runway in case the pilot gets knocked out or any other emergency like that, may be engaged by C&C or a wingman. The HUD is used in tandem with the "VisorScreens," which is a display projected onto the Visor of the Pilot's helmet, and uses a sort of compass in tandem with the computer that can allow him to see highlighted targets in any direction, even what used to be a blind spot beneath him or behind him. The 'VisorScreen' does not display the Altitude, pitch, and Speed like the HUD, as most pilots found this very confusing. The VisorScreen can be used to fire missiles in any direction. The 'VisorScreen' also controls the reticule on the Flak Cannon, and can take over as a manual control of the main guided cannon if wished.

Another cool new feature of this plane is it's ability to interact with and control up to 2 UCAV wingmen... something that can come in handy in situations where jamming is heavy and the UCAVs can't be controlled by long distance.

Advanced Radar: Besides the standard Brother telemetry systems, radars, and cameras, the RF-X7 utilizes a Sileetris anti-jamming all-points radar system. (see Sileetris's storefront for more info)

g-reduction: The cockpit itself is a separate pod beneath the canopy, suspended inside a series of liquid and spring buffers and shock absorbers. Pilot wears a liquid-filled g-suit, and must be in top physical condition.

Prices:
- Standard RF/A-X7 Model: $45,000,000
- W/O QAAM Launchers (Replaced with 8 internal hardpoints [-10,000 lbs dry weight]: $42,000,000
- W/ Raysian Arms EGP-18 100mm AutoCannon GunPod (300 ammo) Instead of QAAM Launchers: $45,000,000
- W/ Liquid-Crystal Active Camouflage Skin: $90,000,000
- Full VTOL Model (With Lift-Jet Model REPH-1100 Pulse-Det Hybrids), No QAAM launchers (Replaced with 8 internal hardpoints [-10,000 lbs weight], and half fuel and range: $70,000,000
- RF/A-X7 E-Type: High-End model, with the works. VTOL Capable, EQ Similar to Su-37 E-Type - $120,000,000

"100m Vulcan (300 ammo)"

It comes WITH 300 ammo or is the maximum capacity? Because 300 rounds is nothing for a chain gun, expecially the Vulcan.

Umm, its 100mm. To put that in perspective the M1A2's cannon is 125mm, its a bloody automatic flak cannon

yeah... this is like a fully automatic anti-anything weapon... meant to rip planes, tanks, airships, and buildings in twain... you don't wanna see what it does to a human body... chucking a football-sized rock through someone at the speed of sound... Yeah, it only has 300 ammo... but Let's just say you can more than afford to be conservative with it :P

It's a detachable gun pod as well, I might add... like a fuel tank, on the centerline hardpoint... I should probably add that part in.
