History
In 2004, Space Union started Project Firesky. Its only goal was to develop a new fighter that could meet the goals of the SUAF (Space Union Air Force). This aircraft had a few main goals to complete its goals of air superiority and multi-tasking:
*Light-Weight Aircraft made from Titanium and Composite Material
*Extremely Manuverable. Out manuever any aircraft the enemy could throw at it.
*Stealth Capabilities: Able to elude radar and decrease IR image emission.
*Easy maintaince and affordable.
These goals were set to be made by the aircraft. On September 24th, 2004, Space Union officials invited four aircraft companies to submit designs for it. The following companies were present:
Tylon Corporation
DuitDou Inc.
Yamser Inc.
Nemion-Yolster Corp
Each company submitted a design that officials would review. On December 9th, 2004, Tylon and Yamser were chosen as the winners and were each rewarded a contract for different fighters. The one by Tylon became known as the YX-78 while the one made by Yamser would be known as the YX-81. Both aircrafts would get orders of 4 to test the other against the other. The winner would get a contract for 20,000 planes for SUAF. The testing began on Febuary 10th and lasted until April 17th, 2004. The victor of the competition was Tylon's YX-78. It outmanuevered the YX-81 in incredibal ways and was able to carry more weapons than the YX-81. Yamser became the secondary contracter, though.
At Congress, the debate was fueled. The aircraft had been given a new designation and became known as F-314 "Staller" because of its stalling capabilities. But many politicans weren't impressed. One congressman said, "the F-314 is as valuable to the SUAF as shoes are to whales!" But backers of the program replyed "the difference is whale can't wear shoes but the SUAF can wear the F-314s!" Finally on June 4th, 2004, Congress passed the Advanced Fighter Construction Act (AFCA) which bought 20,000 F-314s from the Tylon Corps over the next decade. Shortly after the passing of the bill, Tylon announced the export version of the F-314 that would have some tonned-down abilities compared to the domestic F-314 but would still provide the manueverability of the aircraft.
The F-314 Staller is one of the best air superiority fighters in the world for many reasons. It is extremely manuverable, has many stealth capabilities, and is low-cost maintaince wise compared to other fighters around.
Manuverability:
Manuverability is the F-314's speciality. The day-one priority of the aircraft was manuverability. Using many methods, it has achieved its goal of surpassing any aircraft in manuverability. The F-314 mainly uses 4 methods to maintain manuverability:
1. 4D Thrust Vectoring Engines
2. Wing Warping
3. Tiny Jet Engines covering the fuselage
4. Foward-Swept Wings
Using these methods the F-314 is capable of outmanuvering any aircraft that comes its way. This makes the F-314 one of the best dogfighters the world has ever seen.
4D Thrust Vectoring:
The F-314 features two Union-43 Thrust Vectoring engines. Each is outfitted with a nozzle that is capable of moving up, down, left, right, and sideways. This allows the engine to have no resistance and literally be able to move on its own. This gives it an exceptionally big edge over 2D Vectoring and 3D Vectoring engined Fighters.
*NOTE*
2D Vectoring: Nozzle movement of up and down.
3D Vectoring: Nozzle movement of up, down, left, and right.
4D Vectoring: Nozzle movmeent of up, down, left, right, and diagonal.
Definitions for 3D Vectoring may change between aerospace companies.
Wing Warping:
The F-314 is one of the first aircraft to take advantage of wing warping. It is literally able to warp its wings. Using nanofibers made to point-like perfection by industry robots, it can be moved by the on-board computer. This allows the aircraft to control the flow of air and results in manuverability performance unmatched. For example: the F-314 can control the amount of lift given to one wing.
Tiny Jet Engines:
The F-314 features a similar schematics to the X-15. Its nose, belly, and tail feature small jet engines that can be fired to provide optimal movement for the aircraft. Up to 10 of these small jet engines are located on the body.
Foward-Swept Wings:
Like the X-29, the F-314 features foward-swept wings. Foward-Sweeping has been long known to provide better manuverability compared to conventional wings. But it has never been economically affordable. But with the introduction of composite material, the wings have been specifically made from composite nanofibers. This allows the wing to be extremely strong yet very flexible.
Stealth:
Although the F-314 has been optimized for manuverability, it also has stealth capabilities similar to the F-22 Raptor. The F-314 has been made to be extremely smooth allowing the body to deflect incoming radar waves. This method has been applied to the B-2 Spirit and has shown much promise in both aircrafts. Another method used, is covering the entire body with stealth paint. This material absorbs incoming radar waves, further reducing the crosssection of the aircraft.
The F-314 also has been outfitted to give off the minimal amount of sound. It's engines and noise-producing parts have been painted with QuietSound. This material reduces the sound of the object by 15 decibels. This allows the F-314 to fly high over enemy aerospace without ever being heard by the enemy.
The most interesting stealth feature on the F-314 is not any paint but the engines. The engines are now Pulse Generating Engines. These are capable of emitting far less heat than any other engines and therefore have a far smaller IR signature. More on the engines later.
Propulsion:
The F-314 is outfitted with the most modern engines ever out. Unlike normal engines, the F-314 uses new Union-43 Pulse Generating Engines. These work similar to other engines but instead of producing a steady stream of jet flow, the F-314's engines fire a burst the jet before stopping and then repeating this cycle every 5 seconds. This allows the aircraft to use significantly less fuel than other aircrafts and have less IR signature, yet maintain the same amount of stability. This new revolation has allowed the aircraft to be cheaper in the long-term than other aircrafts which waste precious jet fuel. The surplus fuel is than used by the tiny jet engines but even all 10 don't uses up the amount of fuel that two conventional engines use.
Maintaince:
The F-314 has taken into account the experiences with other fighters in maintaince. Many times the aircraft become very expensive to maintain with need for new parts and such. But the F-314 cuts this by more than 3 times. The F-314 uses modularity found in MBTs in its components for fast replacement of damaged parts. To couple this, the F-314 features emergency locks instead of screws, that hook the entire aircraft together. These hooks can be easily opened by the maintaince crew by touching the unlocking pad. This considerably speeds up the process of repairing the aircraft during war-time. Another change made was that all the vital parts have been made out of composite material making it very durable. This makes the need for spare parts less than conventional aircrafts, resulting in less money being wasted on fixing the aircraft and obtaining spare parts.
Avionics:
The best fighter has the best avionics. Using this principle, the F-314 has been given the top-of-the-line avonics. It features the all new Blizzard All-Purpose Suit that guarrentees the aircraft with the best electronics.
