I'm looking to purchase an NS design to replace my old F/A-18s.Please post your design and I'll decide which aircraft I want to purchase.Must be Modern Tech.Keep in mind that I'll be busy all weekend so I don't know when I'll be replying.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for... but the GF-02 Blizzard (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=482678) is one of the best all round VTOL strike fighter's on the NS market. Click the name for the writeup and specs.

Kriegzimmer would like to show you the Lu-45, which is widely used throughout the world, including the most recent order of over four hundred by Cotland. You can read the details in the aircraft's brochure located here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9708782&postcount=533). If you want a more naval oriented fighter we would like to point you here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9845541&postcount=725)/ Thank you very much for your time and patience.

We wish to show you the SuF-8 Phoenix naval fighter. It is one of our finest fighters ever developed. It would be more than capable of replacing your F/A-18s while outperforming almost any fighter that tries to challenge it in the air. It can be used not only for air combat but also in a secondary role of air-to-ground operations thanks to a suite we are willing to install on your aircrafts at $2 million per copy. We guarentee you that this will outdue any aircraft that has been converted for naval use and even be on par or outdue any naval fighter. Infact, we are willing to provide you two copies at no cost for testing and on a trial basis. If you are pleased with it, we will forward the proposal for your nation to place an order for the SuF-8. And we also offer the service of customizing your SuF-8s to meet your needs, like what we have done with many other nations. This can include engine changes, avionics changes, airframe modifications, added capabilities, and so on. We have already over 5 different customer-created variants of the SuF-8 Phoenix, with over 5,000 of them serving around the world in different nations not including our number of domestic copies.

We hope to conduct further business and in the end I hope that we will be signing a contract soon.

Signed,
CEO/Chairman Sim Nam

OOC: I'd recommend the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Isselmere-Nieland)'s best aerospace corporation, Detmerian Aerospace Dynamics, plc (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=380088). The DAS-2 "Spectre" multi-role fighter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7662403&postcount=2) shall be an excellent successor the the venerable F/A-18, which in fact the Spectre is loosely based on.

I like what I see so far but I want to see more designs before I make my final choice.I'll be gone till late tonight so thats when I'll make my choice.

Ok,I've looked at each design and I had a hell of a time deciding which one to pick.What I was looking for was an aircraft with a fairly large payload and strong countermeasures.I've chose the DAS-2 Spectre multi-role fighter.I will be making my order in your storefront.i would like to thank everyone else for posting their designs.In the future I will be looking for replacements for other aircraft so you might be picked next time.

Shrak Aeronautics Corp. Has the follwing designs for your consideration:

SF-19 (Dragon Fly)
Span: 24 ft. 6 in.
Length: 38 ft. 11 in.
Height: 12 ft. 10 in.
Weight: 18,678 lbs. max. Takeoff weight; 10,650 max vertical take off weight
Armament: one 20-mm cannon
in the fuselage nose, 6 pylons carry up to 7,800 pounds of ordinance or fuel tanks.
Avionics: LIDAR/LADAR for range detection and Identification w/out alerting the enemy, standard RADAR, integrated full cockpit display(FCD) for unmatched combat awareness(Similiar to a HUD but is displayed over the entire canopy), multi purpose LCD displays for instrument readouts and status displays.
Engines: Two Shrak J-89s with 25,500 lbs. thrust each with out afterburner, and semi directional thrust vectoring nozzles
Cost: $29,800,000
Maximum speed: 1.2 mach at 33,600 ft.
Cruising Speed: 600 mph.
Range: 1,950 miles (maximum with external fuel tanks)
Service Ceiling: 48,550 ft.
Deployment: extremely short takeoff and low take off sped make it ideal for pocket carrier deployment
Notes; The Dragon Fly is a small, light and nimble fighter idealized for pocket carrier deployment. It uses two semi directional thrust vectoring nozzles to achieve lift off at much lower speeds than other conventional fighters. The thrust vectoring nozzles can also be used in flight for increased maneuvering and much slower sustainable speeds.


VF-12 (Gull)
http://www.geocities.com/jamealbeluvien/Osprey.gif
Span: 25 ft. 9 in.
Length: 46 ft. 10 in.
Height: 13 ft. 4 in.
Weight: 20,563 lbs. max. Takeoff weight; 10,650 max vertical take off weight
Armament: two 20-mm cannon
in the fuselage nose, MAD (Magnetic anomaly detector, for submarine detection from altitude, effective at 500ft, for subs just under surface, subtract 10ft for each 20ft deeper), 8 pylons carry up to 9400 pounds of ordinance or fuel tanks
loads can include six air-to-air missiles, four anti ship/anti sub torpedoes, and/or external fuel tanks.
Avionics: LIDAR/LADAR for range detection and Identification w/out alerting the enemy, standard RADAR, FCD, multi purpose LCD displays for instrument readouts and status displays.
Engines: Two Shrak J88s with 25,500 lbs. thrust each with out afterburner, 4 multi directional thrust vectoring nozzles
Cost: $52,000,000
Maximum speed: 1.7 mach at 33,600 ft.
Cruising Speed: 610 mph.
Range: 2,100 miles (maximum with external fuel tanks)
Service Ceiling: 50,150 ft.
Deployment: Vertical take-off and landing/short take-off and landing
Notes: The Gull is primarily a naval support fighter; it has limited air to air capability in exchange for a superb air to sea ability. It can take off or land any where a helicopter can and can carry more ordnance and reach higher speeds, most of The Nines ships are equipped to carry at least two FV-12’s in addition to a small helicopter complement. Its multi directional thrust vectoring nozzles give it both an unmatched low speed and the ability to hover in place for short periods of time. The gull is used as a fleet defense fighter, an ASW fighter or as an inter vessel personnel transport.

IF/A-14 (Thunder Cat)
http://www.geocities.com/jamealbeluvien/ifa14.jpg
Span: 64 ft. (extended), 38 ft. (swept)
Length: 61 ft. 11 in.
Height: 15.8 ft
Armament: one 20-mm six barreled partially directable (20 degree cone) gattling cannon
10x external missile hard points (10x fuselage) 4x external Pylons (2x ea. Wing shoulder (may be used for external fuel tanks))
Avionics: LIDAR/LADAR for range detection and Identification w/out alerting the enemy, phased long range RADAR with low probability of intercept pulse modes , high target resolution and mass target tracking capacity, integrated full cockpit display(FCD) for unmatched combat awareness(Similar to a HUD but is displayed over the entire canopy), multi purpose LCD displays for instrument readouts and status displays (Glass cockpit)
Countermeasures: blue/green laser light system to disrupt and scramble LIDAR detection systems, Integrated radar scrambling with frequency agility, 100 flare capacity, 50 chaff ball capacity. Modified jet intakes and structural curves and canted tail fins to reduce RCS from original version, liquid cooled engine cowling to reduce IRS.
Engines: 2x Shrak J110s with 37,000 lbs. thrust each with afterburner and 3d thrust vectoring
Cost: $42,000,000
Maximum speed: 2.1 mach at 36,000 ft.
Range: 3,040 miles (maximum with external fuel tanks)
Service Ceiling: 55,150 ft.
The IF/A upgrade to the classic F-14 Tomcat makes this classic interceptor a force to be reckoned with in the modern skies. An engine upgrade has given this legendary fighter new and more powerful legs, full range thrust vectoring jet nozzles increase maneuverability to allow the IF/A-14 to keep up with lighter, more modern fighters. Conformal fuel tanks yield increased range and a fully upgraded avionics suite allows the F-14 to remain the most ‘aware’ aircraft out there as well as streamlining the systems that manage the variable geometry surfaces that increase the performance of the F-14 at different velocities. With a 3d radar array capable of tracking and prosecuting over 100 targets, An array of cosmetic changes such as trimming corners, canting the vertical stabilizers by 15 degrees and streamlining edges as well as refurbishing the jet intakes gives the ‘thunder cat’ variation a much lower RCS than the original.

Maximum speed: 1.9 mach at 36,000 ft.
Range: 2,100 miles (maximum with external fuel tanks)
Service Ceiling: 51,150 ft.
Deployment: Folding wings and short takeoff length make this fighter bomber useful for naval engagements

Nice aircraft but your too late.I will be looking for other NS designs at a later time though.

The F/A-25 Lindorm located on the front page and hyper out-manuver, go-faster than any plane so-far created.
