DMI Fighter Contest
Message sent to all nations and organizations of the world.

*Mar'ki Ticron, CEO of DMG Military Industries walks to the microphone*

It gives me, Mar'ki Ticron, great honor to invite you to DMG Military Industry's first ever Fighter Contest.

The rules are as follows:
1) The contest is open to all nations, companies, and organizations of any kind to enter their aircraft.
2) The fighter can be design and type as long as it is up to date with modern technology (MT) - and doesn't suceeded it.
3) Each participant can enter as many aircraft as they want so that we can get the best results possible.
4) Include all specs and details with the plane - saying the details are classified will not fly (excuse the pun).
5) Pictures of the plane, while not necessary are beneficial to the planes chances.
6) You may not enter an aircraft that does not belong to you without the permission of the owner/creator.
7) I will personally inspect and judge every aircraft entered as well as test them (as I am formerly a navy fighter pilot).
8) Although I will personally determine the winner - I can always listen to others comments and views and will take them into account.

The judgement will be made based on but not restricted to the following categories:
1) Performance
2) Technology
3) Easiness to use
4) Design
5) Appearance
6) Usefulness
7) Cost (in relation to the above categories)

Now onto the more important part. What do you get for winning? Besides the obvious glory of being the best fighter plane designer in the world - the nation/company/organization that wins the contest will recieve 10 Billion USD and their plane will be sold in the DMG Military Industry's store - and recieve 25% of the profits. Pending the entrants and judging of the aircraft - we may elect to give prizes to more than one aircraft.

Thank you, and let the contest begin!

Sincerely,
Mar'ki Ticron,
CEO of DMG Military Industries

OK, here are my entires:

PX-106 'Rovak' fighter
http://www.geocities.com/xplanes2000/xplane_x44.jpg
As the Gencor design get older, and older, MierTech engineers decided that a new aircraft was needed. Though the Gencor could still take on, and win against other aircraft of its ilk, a newer aircraft, taking advantage of newer construciton proccesses and design elements, was considered a good move. It would also help MierTech improve its sales.

MTA-F01 Whisper

The new generation of aircraft from Miertech, it gets rid of the old defensive systems and replaces them with new ones. Utilising the VTOL engine from previous models, with slight changes made, this aircraft is very versatile indeed. The GHOSTS allows the aircaft to negate the enemies stealth abilities as much as possible, allowing for easier targetting, while at the same time rendering the aircraft pretty much invisible.

The MAA means that there are a minimum of mechanical parts in the wings, reducing weight and the chance of failure. The PMAS means that any missiles that do get past the decoys that are deployed, have the greatest chance of being dodged at the last moment. The switchblade style wings allow for a variety of roles, though interceptor is the best use for the aircraft.

UC-16 Red-Eye Falcon.

Essentially a refitted F-16, more of a multirole fighter that is fully autonomous. Techincally PMT.

Based on the F-16C/D, it features conformal fuel tanks and improved radar and avionics. The General Electric F110-132 is a development of the -129 model and is rated at 32,500 lbf (144 kN). A major difference from previous Blocks is the Northrop Grumman APG-80 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. This UCAV allows the carriage of all Block 50/52 aircraft-compatible weaponry as well as ASRAAM and the AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM). The CFTs provide an additional 450 US gallons (2,045 litres) of fuel allowing increased range or time on station. This has the added benefit of freeing up hardpoints for weapons, i.e. hardpoints that would have been occupied by underwing fuel tanks.

The advantage of using an N.I. (Niche Intelligence) besides loss of pilots is the ability for the aircraft to utilize the inherently unstable F-16 platform to perform 9g+ turns and manuvuers taking full advantage of the aircraft's abilities.

Size:
* Length: 15.52 m
* Height: 4.69 m
* Wingspan: 11.13 m
* Wing area: 34.84 m²
Weight:
* Empty: 9,527 kg
* Normal takeoff: 15,000 kg (?)
* Maximum: 22,100 kg
Speed: mach 2.3 at altitude
Ceiling: about 18 km.
Range:
* Range: more than 2,000 miles ferry range
Wing loading: 430 kg/m² at weight of 15,000 kg
Armament: 20mm cannon, plus maximum weapon load of 8085 kg:
* AAMs: AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow, Mitsubishi AAM-3
* air-to-ground weapons include: ASM-1 and ASM-2 anti-ship missiles, various free-fall bombs with CGS-1 IIR seeker heads

It costs about $5 to refit an F-16 to be a UC-16
It costs about $32 million to build one from scratch

OOC:

1) Can I submit aircraft and NOT have them sold by DMG in case they win the competition? That is, I'd just earn the 10 billion prize.

2) I don't know about you, but several of the candidates look a lot closer to PMT or FT than MT...

OOC:

1) Uh... probably not... as DMI is having the contest in order to find the best fighter plane for the store...

2) I am pretty sure none are FT - the tech level is supposed to be around 2010

OOC:

Some prices are way too low and some speeds are too high for MT aircraft. Anyway, count me out, you know the policy of Wingarde Aerospace: production rights are not sold to anyone. Carry on. :)

The Nu-38C is the culmination of Juumanistra's fourth-and-half generation fighter projects; the craft is, in and of itself, fast and nimble, with interceptor performance comparable to the F-15C, in addition to far superior avionics, sensors, and the ability to supercruise. The Nu-38C also incorporates advances in radar absorbant materials, with RAMs having been integrated into the leading and trailing edges of the wings, tail, and fuselage, as well as containing an integrated virtual stealth package not all that different from the French Rafale. The Nu-38C delivers state-of-the-art avionics in the form of a glass cockpit and liquid crystal matrix for both the pilot and CSO, as well as a full array of sensors(RADAR, LiDAR, LADAR, and non-visual light spectrum detection) capable of detecting, identifying, and assessing with threats out to sixty-five kilometers on the export version and eighty kilometers on the domestic version.

The Na-24 is Juumanistra's air superiority fighter of the feature. Designed as a fifth generation vehicle, the fighter draws heavily from the YF-23 program to maximize the stealthiness and nimbility of the air frame. The Na-24 is designed to out-turn and out-climb enemy fighters and suffers slightly in the speed department because of this, relative to the Nu-38C. The Na-24 makes up this relative slothfulness next to its contemporary with the combination of a stealthy exterior in conjunction with the virtual stealth package found on the Nu-38C, superior stand-off range(up to seventy-five kilometers on the export version), and greater air-to-air payload. The system makes use of Juumanistra's modular flight software system to great extent, as well as the transplanting of the transplanting of the standard Faright/Merlin cockpit scheme.

How about this puppy? Truitt and Hughes Corporation would be glad to enter our most up-to-date fighter. If need be, we can have demonstration pilots fly normal routines and show its performance. I hope you enjoy the cockpit for its layout and uncomplexity and the manuverability and customization of its handling.

<bump>

DMG, when will you start this? Just wondering as I have a new fighter being designed, though It'll probably need until the weekend to sort it out.

All of the systems are the newest and best possible.

Pretty much an upgraded F-15, the one flown by our best pilots, Joe Rogers and his brother, John. Also storage for several hundred pounds of equipment.

Joe may be flying his over for inspection.

OOC: Standard Load-out of ammuntion for the M61 in the F-15 is 940 rounds, and the ammo drum is already massive. With over 3000 rounds of 20mm, the drum would probably occupy most of a fuselage, not to mention signifigantly weighing down the plane. Overall it looks like an awesome design and if theyre for sale, I'll totally take a couple, but the ammount of ammo for the 20 mike mike seems like a rather large number.

DMG, when will you start this? Just wondering as I have a new fighter being designed, though It'll probably need until the weekend to sort it out.

I will probably start it on Saturday around 1 pm EST... very busy until then

We have decided Joe and John will fly these two prototypes over for inspection.

We wanted to call it the F-24, but noo, Joe and John wouldn't let us. So then the F-15G, but noo, so finally, we settled on F-15CGI.

We need 2 airfields to fly them. The only airstrip they can be together on is the one in Woodland, and possibly one we used in Algeristan, and...

Overview

With the biggest possible known enemy now gone, times continued to change. The Osten Luftwaffe was able to get it's hands on more funding in the new age, and immediately put it toward researching a new air superiority aircraft, with the capabilities of the Vorbei and then some, yet the survivability and cost of a tank. Well, they sort of got their wish, with perhaps the most powerful aircraft in the world, the Su-82 Leiden, superior to the Razgriz, the Cockatiel, among others.

Leiden is German, and it means "suffer" as the enemy suffers under it's weaponry.


Weaponry

The first thing about the plane is not it's direct attack, it's the way it works. The plane has three modes of flight, and the wings are adjusted accordingly. Fully extended is used when the plane is landing or taking off, or making slower attack runs. The wings are swept forward at a 30 degree angle during combat. While this sacrifices speed, maneuverability is greatly increased, more than offsetting the speed loss. For a high speed the wings are swept fully forward and the plane acts like a dart, pushing Mach 4 easily.

The primary form of attack comes in air to air missiles. Nearly all types can be used, but typically the AIM-8 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM are used for air to air attacks. The plane can also mount bombs [typically JDAMs] for ground attack. It also mounts a 30mm cannon with 250 rounds of ammunition. While 250 rounds may not seem like much, a 30mm round can do a lot of damage to a plane. The rear has an automated DREAD gun [it's possible, the thing only weighs 28 lbs], which can target incoming missiles, ground targets, and even other planes.

Another amazing system which the Leiden uses, is the LIDAR array. While previously it was used to assist in guiding missiles, it now allows the gun to be guided as well. When the pilot selects a target, the LIDAR array picks up the enemy plane and detects it's speed, range, and heading. It then sends the data to the targetting computer which relays exactly where to point the plane in order to land hits with the cannon. This has been estimated to increase overall combat effectiveness by 40%, and the new system has been called "Weiss." Soon this powerful system will be added to all fighter platforms, but as of now it is exclusive to the Leiden.

The powerful radar can detect targets from up to three hundred kilometers off, and the lidar system uses a gaussian transmitter, which is currently the most powerful one in use.


Defenses

This plane's inner skin is constructed of a titanium alloy, which is both leightweight and strong. The outer layer is a carbon-carbon compound used on many lighter vehicals, with many of the effects of Buckyballs, without as much weight. Also with the DREAD gun which can target incoming missiles, the plane also has the classic array of countermesures such as flares, chaff, and ECM. Realizing that LIDAR has been in use for many years in the Osten Wehrmacht but no other armed force, it was only a matter of time. Ergo, the aircraft is also covered with microscopic silica material that is placed to seperate LIDAR rays into opposite adjacent directions. This rendered enemy LIDAR useless, and the weapon isn't used on it's master, in a sense.


Here's another wildcard. The cockpit is of a revolutionary design. Taking a leaf out of the Aoure's book, they designed the cockpit to be a self-sufficient escape pod as well. A plane is expendable but a pilot isn't. When the pilot presses the eject button, a rocket forces the entire cockpit up into the air. It also has a parachute mounted, along with a small landing gear. The cockpit stores enough food and water for three days, with plenty of other equipment [handgun, knife, radio, first aid, etc], and is sufficiently bouyant to float on the high seas. This is a revolutionary step forward in pilot survivability.

Lastly, the aircraft is also capable of computer control. The computer is simply given a mission through a secure com-link and it does what it's told. The combat systems have been improved and are now equal to any elite pilot's skills, with better manuverability and persistance.

You, good sir, win at life.

Judging in Process

Lame Bums, you reckon that a Mach 4 fighter is 2005 tech? A lot of nations here are nearer 2010 tech and most believe that Mach 4 for a fighter is highly unlikely for this timeframe. Mach 3 is around the fastest today, being the SR-71, and that flies at high altitude, and is recon only.

Actually most new fighters are designed for 2010+ technology so that is what I was accepting... however, that being said, Mach 4 is still a bit fast for a fighter, unless it is a short burst for like 30 seconds or something...

Hey DMG have you stopped accepting planes? Just finished my new fighter. I'll post it anyway:


MTA-F02 Mephistos

Overview
With the impractability of the MTA-F01, MierTech got their scientists and engineers to create a more reasonable aircraft. After much debating, a switchblade style aircraft was chosen, much like previous models. However, the Mephistos was to be able to take down any enemy fighter, regardless of where they were. After researching various other fighters in production by other manufactures, the final design was made.

Design
As a switchblade design, the Mephistos can alter its flight profile to get the job done. Taking directly perpendicular to the fuselage as 0º, the wings can be swept from -10º (backwards) to +90º (forwards), allowing for delta, FSW, and normal wing configurations. For takeoff, landing, and VTOL mode, the wings are placed at the 0º position for maximum control. When taking on enemy fighters, and manouverability is needed, the wings move forwards, taking the best angle for the current flight path, and enemy projections. For high speed, the wings move fully forward to form a delta. Throughout flight, the wings will be constantly shifting position, so that the optimum angle is obtained for the current flight profile.

Armour and Defence
Though armour is pretty much useless on an aircraft, certain areas need protecting. The cockpit, engines and weapons bays are protected by multiple layers of Triad armour, allowing for the best protection possible from debris encountered.

The PDCS system gives a very good chance for the vehicle using it to be able to avoid the majority of enemy missiles that may be fired at it. Using a small launcher, each decoy has the same IR signature as the vehicle, as well as creating a RCS almost the same as that of the vehicle. They also emit the same sort of sound as the vehicle to prevent audible detection (mainly in ships), and have a small radar jammer equipped. When used in conjunction with PMAS and APS, the aircraft can launch the decoys, and then change the movement profile of the vehicle in order to confuse the missile as to which target it should go for.

The EMPPS uses various detectors to discover incoming EMPs and then deactivates electronic systems onboard the aircraft to minimise electrical surges. It also exchanges traditional wires for fibre-optical wires, which cannot let electricity surge along them. There are also electro-magnets incorporated into the skin of the aircraft that activate to create an electric field around the aircraft of different frequencies and types, reducing that amount of EMP that can pass through, and therefore the amoutn of damage recieved. There are also capacitors stored on various parts of the circuitry that are designed to absorb the harmful electronic surges.

The PMAS detects incoming missiles via linkage to PHBVS, and determines the time-to-impact. If the pilot does nothing, and/or the missile gets within 3 secs of detonation, the system activates the PDCS, and rolls the aircraft to the left or right, while at the same time either increasing or decreasing the speed of the aircraft in order to change the flight profile of the aircraft. When APS is present, along with PHBVS, the computer will work out the more advantageous side to roll to, in order to engage the enemy.

Electonic systems
The Mephistos has the PHBVS. This is the radar part of the aircraft, cycling its frequency hundreds of times a second in an attempt to confuse enemy stealth measures. It also incorporates various other detection systems such as IR, UV and more. This system also gathers data about the surroundings, as well as enemy and friendly vehicles. This allows the APS to work to its best, and gives a better idea of the surroundings. The system can track around 30 vehicles, though with linkage to other PHBVS, many more can be shown. This is especcially important as this includes a holographic imaging system to show the user the battlefield, including structures of note, enemy and friendly vehicles, plus any other important information. Using the APS, details from other PHBVS users can create a much larger picture of the battlefield, and combining several users at once, each using a different frequency for their radar, means that conventional active stealth measures are pretty much useless. Again, the radar uses several waves in each 'pulse' where many of the waves cancel each other out in the atmosphere. For naval units, this system includes a sonar array, and a system that speeds up sounds to determine if they are natural, or man-made in origin.

Archangel detects incoming radar waves and compares them with the current atmospheric conditions. It then relays the resultant waves back to the source, defeating the radar. However large numbers of radar sites will reduce the impact this has significantly. However, the system can also be used to increase the number of radar 'hits', either giving the enemy incorrect data, or swarming the radar screens so that they cannot be read, or even in extreme cases, destroy the radar set altogether. The system also includes IR filters on the engine exhausts, plus pipes that leak the heat to other parts of the aircraft to confuse incoming missiles. This can also be linked with the PDCS so that the heat is concentrated at the engine at the time of release, then being spread over the entire aircraft in order to reduce the IR signature of the engine. A sound deadining system, similar in generation to the radar cancellation is also included, though the effectiveness of this is not as important as that of the radar cancellation.

A generation ahead of the old CACS, the APS will utilise all onboard systems to control the vehicle with no human intervention. It creates a battlefield-wide map using the systems from its own vehicle, and others - a virtual battlefield, that commanders can access to control their forces. This allows it to prioritise its own needs and any viable targets, and then carry them out. Some would say that the system wouldn't have the creativity of human piots, but when your pilot has blacked out, or your low on pilots, its very useful - especially when it comes with a database of manouvers it could take based on the current situation. It can communicate with every single APS unit in the world, and send this information back to HQ, allowing a world view to be generated, as well as allowing other APS units to use the information.

Weapons
The Mephistos has both guns and missiles as its primary weapon systems, however other armaments may be installed to provide different roles.

MTG-01
This is a machine gun that has a 20mm calibre. It uses semi-guided ammunition, the details of which were first obtained from Kotterdam, and then modified by MierTech. Using four small electronic ‘muscles’ in the bullet, they receive information from the host vehicle and then activate the muscles accordingly in order to achieve a change of direction. This isn’t exactly homing, as the bullets have only a limited capacity to turn, but it can make the difference between a hit and a near miss. It has a ROF of around 200 rpm, and the bullets achieve speeds of up to 1,600m/s.

MTM-10 Swift LRAAM
Designed for the Mephistos fighter, the MTM-10 Swift missiles are equiped with a RAMjet, allowing the missile to reach speeds of around Mach 6 at normal combat altitudes. It uses a modifed PHBVS link to follow the target, which allows for a much more accurate targeting. If countermeasures are deployed, comparisons between the various IR, UV and radar signatures are compared, and the one most like the initial target is chosen as the new target - this prevents most usual countermeasures from working effectively. Its has a range of 200km at normal combat altitude, and each missile costs $700,000. 4 missiles can be accomodated, and a further 2 instead of the MTM-11 Oppressor SRAAMs.

MTM-11 Opressor SRAAM
Like the Swift LRAAM, the Oppressor was designed with the Mephistos in mind. It also has a RAMjet, though for the shorter ranges this is designed for, it 'only' has a speed of Mach 4. Again a modifed PHBVS link is used to target and track the enemy, with a small IR tracker in case the PHBVS link is lost. Again, constant comparisons are made to ensure that the target, and not the countermeasures are hit. This missile has a range of 40km, and each missile costs $375,000. 8 missiles can be contained, and a further 8 instead of the Swift LRAAMs.

-------------------------------------

Look for posting on the winner within an hour

And the winner is?
*Mar'ki Ticron, CEO of DMG Military Industries, steps to the mic*


First of all, I would like to thank all corporations and nations that participated in our first ever Fighter Contest. We had a good showing by designers from all over the world. Some were veteren designers which made this contest just around walk around the block, but others were new designers that had little experience and have begun showing their skill on the world stage. Anyhow, before announcing the winner, I would like to talk about the finalists:

The Seagull from Mauiwowee
JF-55 Merlin Hawk from Truitt
Na-24 Mako from Juumanistra

Although there were many designs that created good aircrafts, these caught our eyes for a variety of reaons. To all nations and corporations that produced these finalists, you should be very produ whether they win or not, as they are top of the line aircraft and would be hardpressed to beat in a dog-fight. Also, although only the winner will recieve the 50 Billion USD prize, all three finalists are being offered the ability to sell their aircraft in the DMI storefront and recieve 40% of the profits - just notify me and we will confirm the deal.

The Seagull, designed by Mauiwowee and W.M.D Inc. was very creative and well designed. It had many high tech on-board systems and displays that were useful when flying - however we found its downside to be that the odd design made it less manueverable and the systems while useful, were not state-of-the-art.

The JF-55 Merlin Hawk designed by Truitt and Hughes Corporation was a designing masterpiece. The state-of-the-art technology and design are something to drool over. Our test pilots said, "This is one of the best planes I have ever imagined, let a lone fly." The design and system are created to keep the pilot safe while being able to take out the enemy at the same. The downside of the Merlin Hawk was its lack of speed versus its competitors (except when using the pulse-cannon) and that it couldn't land on most aircraft carriers.

The final contestant, The Na-24 Mako designed by Himou Defense Labs and Tachibana Aerospace in Juumanistra, was maticulously researched. It matches good technology with amazing manueverability. The downside is that although the technology has been well researched and developed it is outperformed by newer technology.

Ladies and gentlemen without further a do... The winner of The First Ever DMI Fighter Contest Winner isssss.... The JF-55 Merlin Hawk Truitt and Hughes Corporation will be recieving 40 Billion USD and the ability to sell the Na-24 Mako in the DMI storefront if they so wish (as do all finalists).

Thank you all for coming and we hope to see you next contest.

RE: Aircraft Competition - finalist statust
DATE: Today
********************************************************
Mr. Ticron, we were more than just a little pleased to hear that our Seagull design had been designated as one of the 3 finalists in your Fighter Contest competition. While obviously we would have liked to have been placed first, considering that we have only, in the past few months, begun design and marketing of aircraft, we feel our work and the expense put into the development of the Seagull have been vindicated. Thank you for considering our entry and adjudging it to be one of the "best of the best."

In that vein, we would be more than happy to allow your company to market the Seagull on a 40% net profit sharing basis. Our only hesitation in this regard revolves around an uncertainty among board members as to whether or not you will require an exclusive right to the Seagull's design or whether we will be permitted to continue marketing the plane ourselves as well (we would certainly co-ordinate with you re: pricing and upgraded design matters so as to ensure that competition and pricing between our companies was kept at a level that guarranteed profits for all (OOC: Can you say "price fixing?" Good, I knew you could :) ) Please contact us with the details of your proposal in this regard.
/s/Jack T. Ripper

OOC: Not to critisize your judging criteria in any way, but with the forward swept wing design, the Seagull should be highly manuverable. I would think the major downside would be that due to the numerous external hardpoints, missiles, etc. it would be, despite it's use of stealth technology, susceptible to sophisticated radar technology and targeting systems and would have to rely primarily on it's manuverability to escape such attacks, a reliance that can be far to easily overcome in the world of sophisticated ATA (air-to-air) missiles.
