Abstract:
Although the Kondor was quite top of the line for air superiority aircraft Macabee industries decided to turn towards an independent research fighter for their own uses while continuing to export the MMA-A3 Falcon. Consequently, Macabee engineers have designed, and come out with, the new Lu-05 Air Superiority Fighter.

Combat Systems:
The Lu-05 has thirteen wing hardpoints, capable of carrying what in the Macabee military are called 'missile clips', in which an Lu-05 can carry a total of twelve MTAAM-3 Predator air to air missiles. However, that is if, of course, no other ordnance is carried, which would be the most likely case. The wings are lined with a Rene N6 superalloy variant called Thymonel 8, used widely in Macabee turbines and engines for its missiles. Thymonel 8 has a tendency to have a low case of hydrogen enviroment embrittlement and does not burn or wear as easily, making it perfect for mass launchings of air to air missiles.
Moreover, the Lu-05 has two 20mm cannons mounded in blisters on either side of the fuselage. The cannons are powered by an internal motor generator, nick named the LuG-1 generator, which in turn powers dozens of large capacitors, bathed in water to give more permeability for the transfer of electrons, multiplying total power output by at least eighty.
Two internal hardpoints can carry up to 2,000 pounds worth of weight for bombs or extra missiles, or even extra fuel for extended air superiority missions.
The Lu-05 also has a single MAAMG (Macabee Anti-Air Missile Gun), dubbed 'Lunatic', as well as a undercompartment for flares and chaff. Moreover, it's armed with active RADAR jammer.

The GEC-built Head-Up Display (HUD) offers a wide field of view (30 degrees horizontally by 25 degrees vertically) and serves as a primary flight instrument for the pilot.
There are six liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in the cockpit. These present information in full color and are fully readable in direct sunlight. LCDs offer lower weight and less size than the cathode ray tube (CRT) displays used in most current aircraft. The lower power requirements also provide a reliability improvement over CRTs. The two Up-Front Displays (UFDs) measure 3"x4" in size and are located to the left and right of the control panel.
The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) is the primary means for manual pilot data entry for communications, navigation, and autopilot data. Located under the glareshield and HUD in center top of the instrument panel, this keypad entry system also has some double click functions, much like a computer mouse for rapid pilot access/use.
The Primary Multi-Function Display (PMFD) is a 8"x8" color display that is located in the middle of the instrument panel, under the ICP. It is the pilot’s principal display for aircraft navigation (including showing waypoints and route of flight) and Situation Assessment (SA) or a "God's-eye view" of the entire environment around (above, below, both sides, front and back) the aircraft.
Three Secondary Multi-Function Displays (SMFDs) are all 6.25" x 6.25" and two of them are located on either side of the PMFD on the instrument panel with the third underneath the PMFD between the pilot's knees. These are used for displaying tactical (both offensive and defensive) information as well as non-tactical information (such as checklists, subsystem status, engine thrust output, and stores management)
Airframe
The airframe of the Lu-05 is a composite material made of an Aluminum based superalloy, NiAl, also a third generation crystal superalloy, as well as titanium, cobalt, Iron, interlaced tungsten and a Zirconium and hafnium alloy. There are fifteen titanium ribs.
The airframe is also built with contour angles, in which RADAR waves bounce back in other directions, thus giving the Lu-05 a limited stealth feature, although it has been known that particularly powerful RADAR can look 'over' said features.
Stealth
The Lu-05 incorporates the Pallas Athena system, which uses carbon computers, to measure the amplitude, period and frequency of incoming radio waves and thus return an exact radio wave in order to cancel it. The motor generations which run the Pallas Athena also run through a series of capacitors, bathed in water, in order to augment total output by atleast eighty times over. However, the Pallas Athena can be overwhelmed, consequently, it's more of a second rate weapon in order to put 'lesser technologies' at a disadvantage.
The airframe is also covered with a thin-layer of composite light-metallic materials, which in turn is covered with microscopic silica material that is placed to seperate LIDAR rays into opposite adjacent directions.
The turbojets have infra-red suppresants in order to reduce on infra-red photon radiation, consequently cutting back on infra-red target lock from the less advance air to air missiles (AIM-7 Sparrow, AAM and AIM-9 Sidewinders).
Finally, the entire aircraft has a coating of WAVE-X radar absorbent material, which incorporates the best of honeycomb absorbent material, as well as foam absorbers. WAVE-X works at a frequency of 100MHz - 6GHz and has a surface resistivity of 1MΩ. It works in extreme temperatures, -54° - +177°C, and is the best in existance up to now.

Electronics
The Lu-05 is equipped with a carry-on RADAR, powered through another motor generator, which in turn runs its wires through a series of dozens of capacitors bathed in water, multiplying the power put out by the motor generator by at least eighty. In turn, the active RADAR can detect movements at over three hundred kilometers distance, equal to that of a MiG-31. Specifically, it's a multi-mode X-band pulse Doppler radar. The system consists of a single electronically-scanned Phased-Array RADAR antenna mounted in the nose and tail giving the Su-63 360 degree scanning capabilites.System can track 50 Targets and simultaeneously fire at 5.The NO-12M RADAR can also be integrated with AWAC or ground based RADAR systems to give it a total detection range of whatever the ground based RADAR is.
The Lu-05 is also equipped with a Gaussian LIDAR transmitter. How the Gaussian transmitter works is that it sets up two electrical planes, one charged positively, and one charged negatively. This, in turn, sets up an electron form, which charges the transmitter to direct a photon ray. The laser beam transmitted in turn hits an object and reports said object through electrical impulses, not reflection. A carbon computer onboard the Lu-05 distinguishes between inanimate (meaning, natural obstacles), friendly, and non-friendly objects in the sky. In order to reduce sucepbility to LIDAR falters in the clouds the DOPPLER LIDAR and DIAL use an infra-red imaging program.
The Lu-05 has a single three hundred and sixty degree rotating camera located under the nose of the aircraft, giving the pilot a full circle view of at least fifty kilometers distance.
Other Specifics:
Height: 6.3 meters
Wingspan: 13.2 meters
Length: 22 meters
Stall Speed: 120 kilometers per hour
Climb Rate: 28,000 meters per minute
Ceiling: 24,384 meters
Range: 5,600 kilometers
Engines:
The Lu-05 has two Rivka Industry Turbofans lined with Thymonel 8, a RENE N6 superalloy. Thrust-vectoring nozzles provides STOL capabilities, 160 kN static thrust with 250 kN of afterburner. The Rivka turbofans give the Lu-05 a maximum velocity of Mach 2.8.
Price:
110 million USD
