TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter

http://homepage1.nifty.com/chitake/KOH-SHO/mokei/airplane/f15-mtd.jpg

Technical Data:

Contractor: Kotoko Aircraft Corporation

Type: Advanced Air-Superiority Fighter

Personnel: 1

Systems/Avionics:

NACS Mk. I - Aircraft control system. Composed of an advanced Fly-By-Light scheme that utilizes fibre-optic wires just nanometers-thick, the NACS provides the aircraft far superior agility and manuverablity to any legacy fly-by-wire system in the world, giving the TSF-28's pilot unmatched responsiveness and control.

JNFC Mk. III - Target/track/firing computer, which has several subsystems:

AN/PSI-2 - RADAR for the TSF-28, which is a bistatic phased-array NPI system, mounted in the aircraft's nose and a tail apeture, giving the Seraph a complete 360 degree scan capability. Capable of burning through 5th Generation (F-22 level) stealth measures at roughly 280 km.

NISTC-66 - Infared sensor system, which scans for any and all heat signatures within a 100 km radius from the aircraft. When a target is discovered, the data is fed to the JNFC, which then relays the information to IR-guided XSRAAMs mounted on the Seraph's side bays or wingtips. From there, the XSRAAM is guided to the missile based on its own seeker or the pilot can initiate a Command Datalink update.

NTTC-92 - Target track component of the JNFC. Capable of hunting in excess of 200 independent signatures, the system identifies the target's headings based on data from the IR sensors and RADAR system, then relays the information to the JNFC.

NPRC-4 - Target attack component of the JNFC. The NTTC's datastream is relayed to the NPRC, which then issues the information to the TSF-28's weapons systems. Capable of marking up to fifty-six different targets at one time, and simultaeneously attacking up to eight, the NPRC-4 is the heart of the Seraph's extensive fire control systems.

Holy Thunder - TSF-28's 27mm cannon system. Based on the datastream from the NPRC-4's computer, the gun is independently operated by the aircraft itself, although a pilot can override the automatic system for manual control.

Stealth:

The TSF-28 Seraph employs technologies to significantly reduce RADAR Cross Section (RCS), infrared signature, electromagnetic signature, visual signature and aural signature. RCS reduction represents the paramount feature considered in Kotoko Aircraft Corporation's design. To reduce RCS, the Seraph employs a geometrically based radar dispersing configuration. Developed utilizing computational RCS modeling, the TSF-28 configuration employs facets approximated by curvelinear, polynomial sections. Ultimate RCS reduction for the TSF-28, however, is dependent upon a combination of bandpass external skins, internal shaping and the implementation of the NCPCAS-12 Active Stealth System. Between the external bandpass skins and the internal graphite hull backed by an alloy geodetic structure is a cavity. Within this cavity a low temperature plasma is achieved. This plasma, as manipulated by the TSF-28’s computer driven self-protection network, provides an unparalleled level of active stealth technology whereby incoming RADAR energy is substantially disrupted such that return signal is reduced to undetectable levels or chaotic, undecipherable signals. Rather than rely solely upon external shaping, the TSF-28's stealth technology adapts to frequency and bandwidth, allowing maximum low observance performance against all air-to-air and ground based RADAR types alike.

Reduction of IR emissions is achieved through the use of a dedicated engine bay cooling/IR signature reduction system. Ducting residual inlet air through the NCPCAS-12 significantly reduces the TSF-28 Seraph's IR signature both at subsonic and supersonic speeds.

Aural signature is reduced in part through the NCPCAS-12. For enhanced aural signature reduction, the TSF-28 Seraph Air Superiority Fighter features Active Frequency Damping (AFD) and comparable active noise control systems. Visual signature is reduced through a chloro-flurosuphonic acid that is injected into the exhaust gases of the two TC-250-PW-60 engines, eliminating engine vapor trails.

Airframe:

Wing structure consists of two Ti-6A1-4V titanium and one Elgiloy cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy spar, fifteen titanium ribs, and multiple Titanium Oxide stringers. Titanium/tungsten carbide plates are mated to the spar/rib structure, forming a fuel tank for the TSF-28. Wing skins composed of layered Single Walled Nano Tubes, providing maximum resistance to tear. Wing leading and trailing edges are graphite composites mated with titanium. Each wing is equipped with full span leading edge slats and trailing edge, double-slotted Fowler Flaps for lift augmentation. Maximum trailing edge flap deflection is 60º. Leading and trailing edge flaps are controlled by NKACSW-110 hydraulic cylinders. The wing is equipped with 0.20c flapperons for subsonic roll.

Powerplant:
2x Tyrandis Engineering TC-250-PW-60 pulse-det hybrids, providing sum of 98,500 lbs thrust to the aircraft, with 360 degree thrust vectoring from +60 degrees through -60 degrees.

Weights:
Empty: 27,550 lbs
Standard: 54,440 lbs
Max: 70,400 lbs

Ceiling:
Classified, but confirmed data indicates over 68,000 ft

Maximum Speed:
Mach 2.5 on supercruise, Mach 3.55 on afterburners.

Weaponry:
8x AAMs in the internal weapons bay
4x XSRAAMs in fuselage side bays (2 on each side, IR seekers only)
2x XSRAAMs mounted on optional wingtip pylons
1x 27mm Holy Thunder proprietary cannon

Variants:

TSF-28A - Standard version
TSF-28B - Navalized version for operation from aircraft carriers

Price for export:
TSF-28A - $85,000,000 ea.
TSF-28B (navalized, with reinforced materials, etc.) - $90,000,000 ea.

Well, 360 degree vectoring is kinda impossible for that pic (which is nice, a Strike Eagle with canards), becouse the horizontal stabilizers would be hit by the nozzles.

As to the stealth, the picture shows no such evidence, it would show up like a normal F-15C with a bit more becouse canards, if how you illustraited them, would give off a bit, even RAM paint could not fully stop this form happening. It is like painting a mack truck in Ironshard RAM paint, it just will not be as good.

Otherwise, pretty good (I might have missed some things, very tierd).

Such is the problem with my method of helping out other storefronts by having a puppet buy products from them. I'd thought of the idea you suggested, but I was trying to figure out how to explain being able to successfully hijack that many aircraft. Besides, I used that to "steal" an Insidious-class destroyer bought from Praetonia for seperatist rebels in one of my states and I thought a second act would be a bit too repetitive. But I'll have to keep that in mind.

OOC: Meh. The area around the RADAR doesn't have the cavity implemented, and since the beams are so narrow, they can pass through the hole. Granted, using the shield severely reduces the RADAR's capability, but then again, I don't like using the thing anyways since it essentiallly tells the people you're looking for "I'M OVER HERE! SHOOT ME NOW", like a guy with a flashlight looking for someone in a dark forest because of all the threat warning receivers people have.

Radio can't be used in conjunction with the system since the plasma blocks out the emission.

The plasma is sandwiched between the internal frame and an external skin, which is done to reduce at least some of the visual signature... as you know, cold plasma tends to glow a really, really bright purple and thus I decided not to stick it outside where any Joe Sixpack can see it against the sky.

For reference, most RADARs will be able to burn through this thing quite easily. Just vary your RADAR frequencies and eventually it will overload the system, making the plane appear on screen... I just added it on to further decrease RADAR burnthrough range.

OOC: Meh. The area around the RADAR doesn't have the cavity implemented, and since the beams are so narrow, they can pass through the hole. Granted, using the shield severely reduces the RADAR's capability, but then again, I don't like using the thing anyways since it essentiallly tells the people you're looking for "I'M OVER HERE! SHOOT ME NOW", like a guy with a flashlight looking for someone in a dark forest because of all the threat warning receivers people have.

Radio can't be used in conjunction with the system since the plasma blocks out the emission.

The plasma is sandwiched between the internal frame and an external skin, which is done to reduce at least some of the visual signature... as you know, cold plasma tends to glow a really, really bright purple and thus I decided not to stick it outside where any Joe Sixpack can see it against the sky.

For reference, most RADARs will be able to burn through this thing quite easily. Just vary your RADAR frequencies and eventually it will overload the system, making the plane appear on screen... I just added it on to further decrease RADAR burnthrough range.

Okay i was just curious. My G-105 uses Ionic Cloud Generator as a secondary stealth system. Basically an escape stealth system. Then i want to run away i go up to the maximum ceiling and turn on my ICG, i doubt someone can spot light 30000 meters up in the air. You can not overload my ICG because all it does is spread ions around my air plane. So no matter what kind of signal you try to throw towards G-105 it will be bended by the ions. Of course then the plasma shield is turned on the pilot only has his eyes to guide him. I have a special all-weather system installed which increases visibility in any condition. I think you done a good work on this air craft, congrats.

But how did you manage to make it so cheap?

About that stealth system: Bistatic RADAR will detect it. Since all you're doing is scattering the RADAR energy, an airborne emitter coupled with a passive receiver on the ground will pick up the signal. While yes, this does make your plane invulnerable to conventional monostatic RADAR where the receive/send antennas are integrated, it won't provide much protection against bistatic. Also, since you've surrounded your aircraft in ionized particles, you do run the risk of LIDAR detection. And about visual sighting, while high altitude operations will prevent ground detection, the same can't be said for a pilot who notices a purple streak coming towards him...

As for cheap, the plane itself costs eighty five million dollars a pop, some twenty-five million more than a production-grade F-22.

I have a requirement that my GLHT-3 hypersonic thruster/energy generator has to be operational in order for my ICG to work and not deplete the batteries. The plane also has to be going at mach 2.9. Now it requires winds traveling at mach .3 to get the GLHT-3 working, GLHT-3 thruster will speed my plane up to mach 6.7 in under 5 seconds, its gonna moving fast, as i said before i am only using ICG then i need escape or purhapse on a quick ground-attack raid. My aircraft also uses signature reducing materials, geometrical shape and signature reducing paint. That is its primary stealth system.
