The Terronian Royal Air Force as well as Mondial Air were proud to finally after 13 years of devolpment, show the new TF-76 to the public. 1200 orders have been placed for the new plane buy the Terronian Military and more are expected to come. The aircraft was photgraphed and taped taking off and landing from the TNS Dimitri Tabolov Aircraft Carrier off the Nothern Terronian Coast.

Furnish

Outer Surface Components
50% Titanium
25% Composite
18% Aluminum
6% Thermo Plastic

Fuselage
The Aircrafts Airframe is comprised of 4 large chunks, each of which was produced by a differant branch of Mondial.

Inner Structure
The structural loads of the TF-76 are absorbed by 6 Titanium bulkheads.

Wings
The TF-76 has smaller wings then most planes, however, thanks to the dramatic design in the airframe, the plane is highly manueverable. The edge flaps located at the front of the wings serve as a method of achieving high angles of Attack of over 62 degrees when traveling at low speeds.

Fins
This aircraft uses no fins.

Weapon Bays
The bays (shown above) are mostly external except for one large internally concealed canard.

Landing Gear
The landing gear, produced by the Menasco Tire Company is a retractable tricycle type, stressed for no-flare landings of up to 3.09m/s downward speed. The nose wheel tire measures 23.5 x 7.5-10, the 2 main wheel tires mesure 37 x 11.5-18.

Air IntakeThe extremely large air intake system resting on the tope of the plane, is what truly makes it a pilots paradise, the channel can be opening or closed by the pilot, when open, air is channeled into the intake, it inds up internal tubes into the Engine, providing extra thrust.

Oh, yes, the thing is for sale, do your own math, I never have been the very vocal so dont expect much promotion of the thing.

I have seen this design from that movie so many times, and I makes me laugh how some expect to fit what they want into it.

You have 4 turbofans (assuming those are turbofans and not the popularized ramjet), a single crew (which is acceptable) and all for one intake/exhust.

One:
That many engines, even with their thrust, could not equal your speed of 2M, maybe 1.2M if your lucky.

Also, your armament choises are far heavy, and could make your manuverability extremely limited.

As to the rest, acceptable. As of current statistics, I would IGNORE it.

Also, I say lowering the engines to a single high-thrust turbofan, simular to the one on the F-35 (mission-wise). Also, be sure to change the speed since after 1.5M you are not really good at anything but going a little more faster and making a big blot on IR sensors.

EDIT:
Nice use of the F-22's cockpit, btw. (Yes, I know my planes)
