VF-17S Duran-Duran

The Forgotten Arms Manufacturers announces its new fighter, the VF-17S "Duran-Duran". This fighter combines revolutionary coprophagic concepts with neo-space-age manufacturing to produce a fighter that outperforms all others on the market.

The revolution in thinking starts with the aircraft itself. The frame is comprised of gallium, which allows for much higher tensile resistance than standard aluminum airframes. The fighter utilizes an anti-circulatory wing design to minimize air drag, as well as omnidirectional thrusters to allow for tighter turning radii. Electrodynamic power is supplied by two solanum tuberosum generators- much more efficient than even fission generators. The stealth armor, finally, is photon-reflective, allowing a nearly invisible signature from radar. This is compounded by the rear-end specific heat minimizer, decreasing the specific heat (and, by extention, the heat signature) of the exhaust.

The revolution continues in the cockpit, where "soft" technology changes are detectable. The cockpit systems emit light at wavelengths of approximately 0.001 nm as opposed to traditional 500 nm emissions, to maximize instrument visibility. The pilot breathes a mixture of Nitrogen Tetroxide and Unsymmetric Dimethyl Hydrazine to improve his combat performance by several inverse magnitudes, and is equipped with an inverse-firing ejection seat in case of an emergency. The cockpit uses stereo-vision bio-targeting and minmizes mechanical aim distortion.

As with any fighter, this one utilizes many weapons to achieve dominance. The fighter is equipped with four 120 pm forward-assist "Polar-Shooter" guns, operated by a combat-proven biologically-actualted rotating bolt system (frontal-breech loading), all of which fire serrated bullets. It is also equipped with farad bombs and solid depleted antimatter missiles, fired by a compressed carbon-6 steel helical propellant system.

And it's all yours for $60 mil. each- a certainly reasonable price for such a revolutionary fighter.

OOC: I have responded to that thread. As noted in that thread, this is the global unveiling of the fighter.

ooc ah check again

ic we will purcase 100 more of these with the same modifications as last time

We have made the necessary modifications, and are able to sell 100 VF-17s with bottom-field proton torpedo launchers and phasers of 1,000 m wavelength. The total will come to $1.2 billion. We thank you for doing business with the Forgotten Arms Manufacturers, and we hope to do so again.

OOC: It does seem to appear that the mixture your pilot breathes would explode - rather violently - the moment its components are, well... mixed.

Never mind that the airframe will melt at room temperature...

Is the inverse firing ejection seat designed to eject through the airframe? If it melts, I suppose this _would_ work...
