Breif Overview:
The FP-110 is powered by a single Kish Jet Propulsion Kyt-3290-N2A41 turbopropfan engine producing 4,000kw of power. The Kyt-3290 is a ducted propfan consisting of four counter-rotating sections with eight variable pitch high speed blades each. The high speed blades are designed with a two stage sweep to facilitate faster speeds without losing efficiency. The more powerful and faster blade design, coupled with the number, the power of the engine, and the carefully designed duct around the propeller blades that increases the power of the whole system, the FP-110 has more thrust then any conventional propeller driven aircraft. A cooling baffle is fitted to the exhaust outlet of the Kyt-3290 to reduce IR signature.

The FP-110's internal systems and armament consist of a small Type 2A91 Targeting RADAR sysytem in the nose, which is capable of targeting and identifying a target within 80km of the aircraft and within the RADAR's cone of detection. Additionally the FP-110 has satalite navigational and communication aided systems, and an internal computer system. The FP-110's armament consists of two FTG-48 20mm cannons, with approxemetly 350 rounds of linkless ammunition each. The cannons are attached side-by-side, passing either side of the nose landing gear in the belly of the aircraft and firing out just below the nose. Additionally the FP-110 can carry a wide array of missiles, both air to air and air to surface, as well as bombs, rockets, and gun pods.

The FP-110 is primarily constructed of carbon reenforced plastics and poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide impregnated with a special synthetic organic-based resign. The design and materials of the aircraft allows for maximum strength with a light weight. Additionally wherever possible titanium or a titanium alloy is used as the primary metal componant, where metal is required. The FP-110 is typically painted with radar absorbing material, to further reduce it's RADAR cross section.

The Layout of the FP-110 is unconventional to say the least. The FP-110 uses a swept forward wing design with canards forward of the wings to provide increased lift capabilities, as well as a more conventional elevator joining the tops of the two vertical stabalisers. The two vertical stabilisers are mounted in a twin-boom setup behind the propeller system and slanted inwards at twenty degrees. The aircraft is equipped with fully folding wings, as well as tricycle landing gear and a lightweight ejection seat.

The Armed Republic of Warring Minorities would like to place the following order to bolster our coastal defence forces.

Gen. Robert Howe, Head of Military Procurement

TAG for future buying.

The Tarlag Defense Force would like to purchase one carrier and 12 ravens for testing. The one question we have is how many aircraft and or helicopters can this ship carry? We my also wish to licence both designs for home production.

To: Tarlag
Equivilent room to pack twenty four FP-110 aircraft and use it, or roughly twelve F-35 variant aircraft.
