AFA International LTD Goes Public

Avery Frost Aeronautics LTD , based in Costa-Tula, Ilek-Vaad has formed AFA International. AFA International is currently seeking foreign investors and foreign locations for the setting up of test, manufacturing and assembly facilities.

Avery Frost Aeronautics has for years met the specific needs and requests of the Free Republic's Retaliatory Guard's Air Guard. Avery Frost Aeronautics has a catalog of experimental jet fighters and bombers whose designs were rejected by the Free Republic's Ministry of Defence, but that may very well meet the needs of other nations militaries.

This is an oppurtunity for foreign nations and investors to align themselves with the nearly nine hundred billion drachma of assets and five hundred and fifty billion drachma in yearly sales of Avery Frost Aeronautics.

Inquiries should be made to Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International.


The following are a couple of the jets whose designs were rejected by the Free Republic's Ministry of Defence, and have yet to be bulit or tested and could very well prove to be efficent, practical and imminently useful for the air forces of any number of nations militaries.

X15-01 Super-sonic Fighter

Designed in the mid nineties as a nimble mach speed fighter. This design was originally rejected because of it's high profile that decreased it's stealth capabilities. Since that time the advent in manufacturing of Radar Absorbant Materials has made this design viable.

As of yet unbuilt, this design could be easily customized in size, speed and payload for buyers and could incorporate any number of foreign built components. Computer simultaions have shown this fighter to be capable of mach speed cruising with the thrust provided by conventional jet engines. It's forward swept wings reduce drag and do not hinder performance thanks to self correcting computer controls. All of the necessary research has been done into this jet, it now only needs to be built.

X15-02 Super-sonic Fighter

This design was passed over in favour of the Avery Frost Orion Stealth Fighter, which has become the standard air frame for both the Free Republic's Air Guard and the Air Force of the Empire of Terra Malus. This design was deemed to have high production costs due to it's advanced control designs and also had less weapons space than the eventual Orion.

Computer simulations showed this jet with a maximum speed at around mach 5, greater than the Orion. This was the first design to utilize the thin back sweeping 'chevron-wing' design of Avery Frost. This jet could easily become a fierce dog-fighter and interceptor.

X15-B2 Heavy Bomber

Lastly the heavy supersonic bomber design that was passed over for the Vulcan Strategic Bomber. The B2 in simulations has a service ceiling of over ninety thousand feet and a speed that should reach the super-sonic to ultra-sonic range. It has the ability to carry a thirty-five thousand pound payload and could be theoretically customized to carry any number of ordinances.

In summation, this is an excellent oppurtunity to get in on the legendary expertise and to ally with the capital of Avery Frost Aeronautics, and to help build what could be the next wave in revolutionary air craft.

AFA International Jets Currently For Sale

Two AFA Fighter Jets and one AFA Passenger Jet have been approved for general sale.


AFA-99A Shadow

The first fighter jet designed by Avery Frost was the Shadow. Designed developed and built in 1985 the multi-role fighter became a standard of many nations and licensed versions are still in use around the world. Updated engines, computer and weapons systems make the Shadow a useful fighter even today.

The drawbacks to the Shadow is the fact that missiles and bombs can only be mounted under the wing, the Shadow has no internal weapons bays. The Shadow does have a 30mm cannon for air to air combat.

AFA-99A Shadow

wingspan:19 feet 11.5 inches

AFA99-99B Hecate

The Hecate was one of several firsts for Avery Frost. Developed in 1988 the Hecate was the first 'Greek' named fighter, a tradition that continues today. It was also the first fighter to use cheap and enviromentally friendly Ethanol based jet fuel.

The Hecate was Avery Frost's answer to the F14 and had many of the same design features.The Hecate features a moveable sweep wing, but resembled the Shadow in many ways, despite it's larger size and superior performance. The Hecate was the main jet of Ilek-Vaad's Air Guard until replaced in 2010 by the Avery Frost Orion Stealth Fighter.

The Hecate still had no internal weapons bays but could house it's weapons under the body between the engines, making it more aerodynamic.

Marathon Supersonic Transport

The Jet that made Avery Frost Aeronautics was the revolutionary Marathon Supersonic Transport. This verstalie jet is still produced in the nearly the same form as when it was first developed in 1983. With several different passenger capacity sizes and the ability of the smaller transports to make vertivcal take offs and landings, the Marathon is a superb jet capable of up to mach 1.6 cruising and a top speed of mach 3 for most models.

The Model pictured is the two hundred passenger Marathon-C, which is capable of short takeoffs and landings thanks to the patented 'Turbo Clutch' system that can vent jet exhaust downwards and back at the same time, giving lift directly under the body of the jet.

The Martahon-C retails for 550,000,000DR (880,000,000USD)

Comrade Cosma,

Do you have anything cheaper?

In the current economic climate, I regret to admit that the Noddestan unit does not carry much clout internationally. Therefore the annual defence budget of our fair and prospering land extends to merely 4,000,000 USD (2,500,000 DR).

Gabor Yung
Minister of Defence
Noddestan

To:Gabor Yung, Minister of Defence, Noddestan
From:Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International

Minister Yung, I appreciate your interest but must inform you that the AFA-99A Shadow is the cheapest fighter jet currently manufactured by AFA International.

I understand your economic situation and could offer you terms on a package deal of fighter jets, the terms of which could be made better if the government of Noddestan was to allow AFA International to purchase land and build factories within Noddestan. AFA Internatinal is currently seeking foreign nations open for development of manufacturing, assembly and test facilities for our various projects and products.

If this is satisfactory, let me know and I am certain that some sort of arrangement could be made.

Jefferson Cosma
Senior Vice President
AFA International

Comrade Cosma,

In return for a consignment of fighter jets and the necessary training materials, the Noddestan government will allow your corporation to build factories on its soil. Purchase of land and the erection of buildings will be at your discretion.

However, any citizens whether Noddestanian or Vaadenese will be subject to rigorous psychological testing and detailed background checks. Please submit the names and social security numbers of all new employees to the department of works and pensions as soon as possible.

From:Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International
Subject: AFA Employees

Minister Yung, whatever requirements are legally necessary for your citizens to be legally employed by AFA International is a totally internal matter for your nation.We will meet whatever requirements are necessary in these regards.

Current AFA International employees (i.e. Vaadians or any other nationality) will not be and will not be made available for any testing, psychological or otherwise. Detailed background information will be provided.

If this acceptable, then we can move ahead.

On behalf of the people of the United Kingdom, I would like to take this moment to exchange pleasantries as this is likely the first of any real contact between our two peoples or even the governments of our respective countries. Your request of foreign investment piqued my interest as just last month our board voted to begin looking at ways of expanding our line of short to medium range helicopters for civilian transport.

Ledley’s Aviation Ltd. was founded after the Second World War to provide cheap and affordable helicopters and small aircraft to the booming transportation industry here in the Azazian archipelago. Our primary market is, of course, the United Kingdom, which depends heavily on aerial and maritime transports to ship people and goods across the hundreds of islands that make up this 3 billion plus nation. To spare you a lesson in history, Ledley’s now would like to expand its operations by providing aircraft to reach the more far-flung regions of the Kingdom and your supersonic aircraft would fit into our future aims for our own company.

While having only a moderate amount of capital, the board has authorized me to inform you that in exchange for licensed production of the Marathon, our testing facilities in the Republic of Islandia (a republic merely being a fanciful description for a federated territory) as well as one of our larger production facilities in the port city of Regal shall be made available to Avery Frost. Hopefully this offer can serve as a common basis from which a fruitful negotiation and business deal can be arranged.

Geoffrey Lamb
Senior Vice President
Ledley’s Aviation Ltd.

To:Geoffrey Lamb,Senior Vice President,Ledley’s Aviation Ltd
From:Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International

Mr. Lamb, I was very pleased indeed to hear from you and from Ledley’s Aviation Ltd. The market that you already service seems ideally suited for the introduction of our line of Marathon Transports. The smaller Marathons are fully VTOL capapble and have greater capacity than even the largest helicopters and the larger Marathons while not fully VTOL, their ducting system gives them the ability to land and take off from shorter, more compact runways.

The Marathon would seem to be ideal for the island hopping that your company has in mind. AFA international is prepared to license the Marathon line of transports to Ledley's Aviation LTD for the initial sum of 1.5 billion Drachma with assurances for royalties of 5% gross profit on the Marathon line. With the sale of only a few Marathon-C Transports, your company could comfortably make up for the initial licensing fee.

This greatly reduced licensing deal takes into account the use of the facilities you mentioned.

I thank you and await your reply,

Jefferson Cosma
Senior Vice President
AFA International

To: Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President, AFA International
From: Geoffrey Lamb, Senior Vice President, Ledley’s Aviation Ltd.

I am most honoured by your business prompt and forthright response to my letter, Mr. Cosma. With a few potential sales of the Marathon line already lined up, both Ledley’s Aviation and AFA International seem ready to profit from this deal.

The cash considerations will arrive in the bank accounts of your choosing in two payments, the first being an immediate transfer of 1 billion Drachma, the second coming in the second half of our fiscal year for the balance of 500 million, in addition to the 5% royalties of sales. From that point on, the royalties will be collected and sent to the accounts of your choice on a bi-annual payment plan starting from this point and six months from now, if this is all agreeable to yourself and AFA International.

In the meantime, a team of engineers will begin removing critical systems of importance for the production of our own line of aircraft and helicopters from our facility in Regal and our test fleet at Whiteland Air Field will begin moving to another facility later this month.

I hope the payment plan outlined above is agreeable to your party, and if it is indeed agreeable than I daresay, Mr. Cosma, we have ourselves a deal. Although necessarily the lawyers will wish to draw their own much more complicated drafts requiring signatures and board approvals. What would we do without lawyers?

Sincerely,

Geoffrey Lamb
Senior Vice President
Ledley’s Aviation Ltd.

To:Geoffrey Lamb,Senior Vice President,Ledley’s Aviation Ltd
From:Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International

That would all appear to acceptable. I am forwarding along payment information as well as copies of the contacts for signatures and to be read over by your lawyers. We will begin to move into the facilities in Islandia and Regal as soon as you have confirmed that they are free.

General Ripper, I think that the programs you have mentioned present the perfect oppurtunity for exploring the possibly of a partnership between our two companies. Stock in AFA International is available and we are very interested in acquiring facilities outside of the Free Republic. I am certain that we can come to an agreement that will benefit both parties and allow our companies to develop cutting edge technology, and the ability to produce it in large quantities at a high level of quality.

Right now 20% of the stock of AFA International is available for purchase, this represents 550,000 shares valued at 550 DR per share at current valuations. Even if your company does not purchase stock we would still be interested in buying facilities from or company or leasing facilities in the long term and at the very least bringing on board some of your management and engineers as technical advisors.

I am certain that we can come to some sort of agreement that will be mutually beneficial.

Minister Yung, I am sorry to inform you that we will not be pursuing a partnership with your nation. AFA International is committed to providing for it's employees, not only monetarily but in every way possible. ALL employees at AFA International are afforded the same oppurtunities and are allowed to rise and fall on their own merits, no matter what 'handicaps' society may label them with. We will not limit the potential of our work force by labeling them with the results of any arbitrary 'intelligence quotient' testing.

AFA International is a multi-billion drachma corporation mainly because of it's committment to it's employees, a committment to fair treatment, dignity and fair and honest compensation. The Board of Directors at AFA International feel that the restrictions put in place by the Government of Nodestan would hinder the growth and development of AFA International as a whole and would damage the spirit of innovation that AFA International is based on.

Mr. Cosma:
Thank you for your reply. To start the process of finalizing an arrangement between our companies, the Board of Dirctors has requested I make this general proposition to you for your consideration.
1. We will do a "stock swap" by which we acquire the 20% outstanding interest in your company and you will receive an interest in W.M.D., Inc that has an equal value (It would likely not be a 20% interest due to the different numbers of outstanding shares and corporate values)
2. You will receive at least one seat on our board of directors and likewise we will receive at least one seat on your board of directors
3. All of our production, design and testing facilities will be opened for use by your personnel (we have facilities in Australia, French Polynesia, South East China, Hawaii and Brazil)
4. A Joint aircraft design and testing group will be set up in both companies with a free flow of information and ideas between them with the idea of creating new aircraft that are cross-licensed for production between the both of our companies.

Please note, these are very broad and general ideas, meant only to "get the ball rolling" so to speak between our companies. Nothing is set in stone at this point and all items are negotiable. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

To:General Jack T. Ripper,CEO, W.M.D., Inc
From:Jefferson Cosma, Senior Vice President of AFA International

The terms outlined in your previous letter should be fine and pose no problem at all. The value for the 20% share of AFA Intenational comes to a total of 302,500,000.00 DR. (484,000,000 USD) The stock swap will be calculated at that rate.

We also agree to the other iniatives mentioned and will be happy to integrate our test programs with yours. Please keep in mind that AFA International's programs and products are seperate from parent company Avery Frost Aeronautics LTD products and programs.

I look forward to finalizing this deal and moving ahead with this venture.

RE: Investment opportunity and other business relationships

Mr. Cosma:
Thank you for your willingness to agree to our initial broad proposal, such willingness to deal makes matters easier. Rounding the value of your company's 20% stock offering to $500 million (OOC: the math is easier on me) we find that our company is significantly stronger than yours, hopefully we can allieviate that situation with our partnership. At present, $500 million will purchase a 0.087% interest in W.M.D., Inc. which has a market value as a company of $570,000,000,000.00 ($570 Billion). Obviously, a seat on the board of directors for someone with a less than 1% stake in the company is a boon that should signify how much confidence we have in your company and our relationship. Arrangements with our brokers to effectuate the stock swap are being put in place and should be completed within the next few days. You should be pleased to know, however, as we enter this new era of cooperation, that our subsidiary, Design-a-Plane has just completed delivery of custom designed aircraft to Masspwnage and received a $2 Trillion payment from them. There is no place to go but up from here.

We are sending a team of engineers to you to begin work on new aircraft and have readied facilities for your teams at our various facilities. Please let us know who your Board member is. Our board member for your board is leading our engineering team. With a Ph.D. in Aerodynamic Engineering, and a retired Air Force Colonel, we think you'll find Dr. Joseph Abor to be infinetly qualified to work with you in the aircraft design and decision making process.

Please let us know if you have any questions or other terms, otherwise, you will be receiving a packet of contracts and agreements on cross licensing from our attorneys for your review and signature.

This contract is agreeable, with one minor change. In order to ensure a parity in stock holdings our board of directors has authorized me to make up for the shortfall in the stock swap with cash. It appears that to cover this shortfall will require right around 114 billion USD. If this is acceptable the money will be transferred and the contracts will be amended and then signed.

It will still be another month or two before our facilities are actually up and running. We will notify your technicians when we have our facilities available.

We have selected Roland Avarre to sit on your board of directors. He currently holds the position of Vice President of Safety Management with AFA International, and is highly qualified in the aeronautics filed, and we are certain will prove to be an asset.

AFA Intenational to Build and Test X15-01 Supersonic Fighter

Having secured facilities in the United Kingdom of Azazia AFA has announced that it has begun final stage development on it's new super-sonic fighter jet. This jet is intended for sale world wide and will combine supersonic speeds with unmatched nimbleness to become what is surely one of the world's most dominant jet fighters.

AFA intends the X15-01 to be fully VTOL capable and to have fully internalized weapons bays to reduce radar profile and increase aerodynamics over all. AFA also intends to use the Enigma ducting system to reduce drastically the heat signature of the X15-01.

AFA management has announced that engineers and designers from W.M.D. Inc. will be involved in the development and testing of this revolitionary fighter jet. AFA fully expects to have three test models fully built and flying in six months, and to have full production within a year.

Ancillary Briefing Room, The Office of the Prime Minister, The Citadel

“Good afternoon, everyone. I am Lauren Conners, Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, the Department of Foreign Investment. I am pleased to be standing before you today to announce that the firm Avery Frost Aeronautics Limited has decided to spin off an entirely new corporation headquartered in the city of Regal, in the Republic of New Russia in the northwest of the United Kingdom. This after the situation in the native country of Ilek-Vaad necessitated movement abroad and after a prior agreement with Ledley’s Aviation Limited brought the United Kingdom to the mind of Mr. Avery Frost. The United Kingdom is delighted to welcome Mr. Frost and his business to the Russian northwest of our great country. Thank you all for coming, and have a nice day.”

Mr. Cosma:

After some significant work and effort by our joint teams, we've refined your original X15-01 design. A few details remain to be worked out, but so far, we have succesfully modeled the following:

Engine: W.M.D., Inc. ST-3400Ft Ramjet w/ Afterburner engine (34,000 lbs. Thrust x 2)
Max. Speed: Mach 1.8
Interior Bays: 3
Range: 1,100 miles (w/o drop tanks)

Final specs will be forthcoming soon from the joint team. Currently the team is excited, but likewise concerned, about the "meshing" of your enigma ducting system and our liquid nitrogen and ambient air cooling systems for the exhaust.

AFA International, Engineering Memo-X15-01 Prototypes

The engineering section of AFA International believes that reducing the number of weapons bays and eliminating liquid nitrogen cooling systems can signifigantly increase the speed of the X15-01 interceptor.

Engineering has developed a plan for a single weapons bay that will carry four Narvik Advanced Ordinance Comet/M6 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9293258&postcount=44) anit-air missles. Enigma ducting that diffuses the exhaust flow and induces high altitude cold air can be utilized to remove costly mechanical cooling means and significantly reduce weight. The body of the X15-01 will also be entirely assembled from composite carbon fiber materials to drastically reduce weight and add radar absorbing qualities.

The changes combined with the thrust of the ST-3400Ft engines should give the X15-01 Interceptor a top speed of up to mach 5 and a cruising speed of up to mach 2.

It is considered mission critical that the X15-01 be built to be as fast as possible, with the most accurate weapons possible. The guarantee of an interceptor that cahse down enemey fighters and bombers with a guaranteed four kills per X15-01 has shown to be very desireable in market research.

AFA International Offers AFA-101 'Scylla' For Sale

AFA-101 'Scylla' Ultra-Sonic Strike Fighter

The AFA-101 Scylla is the culmination of AFA International's X15-01 project and is the fastest jet ever produced by AFA for international markets and is the second fastest jet ever produced by AFA of Avery Frost Aeronautics. The new 'Scylla' Strike Fighter is capable of super-sonic cruising and ultra-sonic attack, it's speed and agility make it a pefect jet for eliminating incoming enemy fighters or bombers.

The Scylla has been fitted with the Orion Radar Cancellation System and aside from it's titanium airfram is constructed completely from high density carbon fiber Radar Absorbing Materials. This coupled with the Enigam Cold Air Ducting System makes the Scylla hard for the enemy to target, even with the most sophisticated counter-measures.

The Scylla's internal weapons bay is designed to carry six NAO Comet/M6 anti-air missles or other missles of comparable weight and size. The missles are guided by NAO's powerful image enhancement and recognition systems as well as integrated and redundant thermographic and laser targetting systems, all controlled by the Scylla's Hurricane Computer System. The Scylla can target up to six enemy at a time and can launch all six of it's missles in under a minute, giving the Scylla the ability to rack up multiple kills, in virtually a single shot.
