Airforce Renovation + Mercenary contracts

Blackhelm Confederacy
09-06-2006, 21:40
Before the plague struck, Exponent asked for a contract to make a newer, more modern airforce. The offer is still on the table. Our MiG, Sukhoi, YaK, and Tu-22 fleet has served with distinction over the years, but they are not enough to put up a fight against many of todays airforces. If the Confederacy wishes to seek a place in this world, our air force needs to be upgraded.

Also, with the plague, and subsequent collapse of the former Exponent, and the emergency government established of the Blackhelm Confederacy leading to small civil wars, the population of our nation has been severly decreased. As a result, Chancellor Lucius Blackhelm has put out numerous contracts for mercenary armies, who would help to defend this country until it is back to its former glory.

To start the renovation, we would like to replace the weakest link in the Confederate air force. The Tu-22 has served with distinction in our air fleet, but now we believe this out dated plane needs to be replaced. Would any nations who supply a heavy bomber please present their models here.
Space Union
10-06-2006, 16:05
We would like to submit the SuB-4 Super Hurricane Heavy Supersonic Strategic Bomber and the SuB-5 Sonic Ultra-Fast Strategic Bomber. Both are superb bombers designed around different policies and meant to complement each other. The SuB-4 is for nations that want aircrafts that can deliver more bombs than any competitor out there and level cities with conventional bombs. The SuB-5 Sonic is for nation's that need a high-speed bomber that can go over Mach 4 and zip through the airspace over enemy territory while escaping any fighters and outrunning any missiles launched at it. It all comes down to which one fits your policy and you may find both fit your policy so feel free to buy a mix of them. And if you wish for any customization, we are always open to them and will do our best to fulfill them.

Re: Tu-22 replacement

To Whom It May Concern,

While the Union of Southeast Asian Nations lacks a relatively potent arms manufacturing industry, we do have good foreign defense contractors that supply our military forces. The Southeast Asian Air Force once used the B-1B Lancer (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/b-1b.htm) as a low altitude, supersonic strategic bomber and to support the Southeast Asian Army on the ground. However, as part of our modernization program, and in comparison to several foreign military forces in the world, it has been determined that the venerable Lancer is obsolete and is in needing of replacement.

We turned to a fine aircraft corporation, one that goes by the name of Detmerian Aerospace Dynamics, plc (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=380088), a corporation that is based in the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland, a state which we have friendly ties to. The DAS-5 "Angrboda" strategic bomber (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7714795&postcount=7), was nominated and proved most well in the combat trials held. The Southeast Federal Parliament however, is still holding a cautious approach to whether or not it should be adopted, and while I personally dislike to wait, I nevertheless respect the fact that the future battlefield is something that can never realistically be predicted as it is always evolving.

However, I can assure you, having read the reports of the Angrboda's successes in the combat trials, Detmerian Aerospace's DAS-5 shall certainly be a most worthy successor to the Tu-22 "Blinder" Intercontinental Strategic Bomber (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/bomber/tu22/) your air force wishes to retire.

Yours Truly,

Unfortunently SUDI doesn't sell production rights to any of our products. We are willing to though offer a limited production rights, where you will produce a set number of airframes at your home but you will pay the unit cost per each aircraft produced along with an added royalty of 10%. Would that suite you?

The F-25

// History //

As the cost of a F-22 being simply outrageous and it's ability to maneuver and payload hampered it was viewed as a waste of money and so a fighter to replace that state of the art was made to, 1. Fill the needs of Sparta Infensus & The Valens Res Publica; 2. Provide more bang for your buck per-say. This fighter is the most maneuverable, fast, technologically advanced, lightest, and heaviest payload plane for the money you spend.

Despite the ‘More bang for Your Buck’ requirement, the aging F-22 had many problems. One of them is that in the Nation States planet; and nations as a whole. Was largely outdated, technologically and in almost every other aspect. To refit it with a future warfare skin and suite it would cost billions more and so. With the insane cost of refitting every plane to even stand a chance against other fighters. The money was used to fund R&D projects to build the most advanced fighter to date. Hyper-maneuverable; ludicrously fast, large payload, unbelievably sleek looking, and much cheaper than the F-22. Of course; after R&D.

// General //

Crusader Weapons and Full-Spectrum Electronics were called upon by Sparta Infensus and Valens Res Publica which were military contractors whom belonged to Asperitas. The small but astoundingly technologically advanced and smart nation. To replace the F-22 with a much a superior fighter, being able to carry more of a payload, Go faster; to be hyper-maneuverable with ease, and have 3/4ths the RADAR cross section. These were the requirements and they were filled perfectly with this beauty of a plane. Having never been tested as the small country lack the proper facilities they now look outward to different Nations and Countries to combat test this plane.

// Airframe/Construction //

Airframe Makeup: 80% Titanium-Aluminide; 15% Super light durable plastics and polymers; and 5% nickel all in a honeycomb frame.

The F-25 uses a tri-surface configuration; with dual RAM coated canards, One aspect of the F-25 is its "switchblade wings" as their function is similar to that of a switchblade knife. At approximately 398 knots or 458 mph, the outer, forward-swept portion of the wing folds inward, leaving just the rearward-sweeping wings. At the same time, the twin ruddervators, normally in a "V" shape, fold down; so they are level with the aircraft's other wings. It is this wing configuration that gives the most Lindorm its incredible maneuverability across such a wide range of speeds. With the wingtips deployed, it has all the advantages of forward-swept wings, but since the 'switchblades' retract as speed increases (and are fully stowed well prior to mach transition), extreme wingtip twisting does not occur. The clean delta or spade configuration enables efficient, low-resistance high mach travel. Also the Canards feature leading flaps, flaperon's, and ailerons as do the normal wings. Deploying flaps causes a large nose-down pitching moment, to alleviate this effect swing-wing canard surface which swept forwards to counteract the effect of deploying flaps as to also give it extra lift at lower speeds and at higher speeds it makes this aircraft the most maneuverable ever made; a fighter unparalleled by any other.

// Propulsion/Engine //

Full-Spectrum Electric XF-121 Turboram engines, rated at 15,978 lbf (dry) each, with a 3D thrust vectoring control, allowing for a high amount of maneuverability. Which makes it a fighter unparalleled by any other. These engines are essentially normal Turbofan engines with a Ramjet built in. As once a speed where the Ramjet can effectively be used; being mach 1+ the turbo fan is turned off to use only the ramjet where the plane can then effectively reach speeds of Mach 5+

Thrust-to-weight Ratio: 8/1
Engine Weight (individual): 4,309 lbs

// Electronics/Avionics //

The F-25 utilizes the fly-by-optics system for the highest maneuverability possible, necessary in Air Superiority. Information is relayed to the pilot through 2 Super-High resolution TTFT screen, with most of the crucial information available through integrated avionics, in a dual screen configuration . (one main, one secondary screen’s) AVRS (Advanced Voice Recognition System) capability is available and is the primary source of changing displayed information instead of using the touch screens and distracting the pilot from his main task being controlling the plane. Thus allowing the pilot the maximum adaptability to the situation. Using a beyond visual range targeting system known as the AN-AGP 112 which allows the pilot of the F-25 to control his attacks in a full 360 degree radius thanks to the addition of LADAR which maps a 3D area around and under the aircraft. Though the active radar which has a forward looking radius of 130 degrees and farther than any other RADAR for an aircraft known makes it the newest predator of the skies. A AN/ALQ-210 ECM pod; to hide it’s self from radar using planes, the ALQ-210 using TTFT’s to reduce it’s weight in comparison to ALQ-131 ECM Pod used by the USAF the by 85% and increase it’s effectiveness by nearly 800%! A EALR-52E Radar Warning Receiver which gives an early warning to a possible lock on or imminent lock on; as well as increasing it’s effectiveness in comparison to a current USAF Radar Warning Receiver by nearly 915% also through the use of TTFT’s! Despite that it comes ridden with area’s to store flares and chaff of the users preference. None is sold stock with the plane as none has been developed by the country and there are no alliances to provide Asperitas with chaff or infrared flares cheaply.



// Weapons/Armament //

The F-25 has 6 Bays. 2 On each side meaning 4 parallel side bays and 2 ventral weapons bays. The 4 parallel side bays are meant for the carrying of missiles; and the 2 ventral for bombs. The ventral bays have stations for 4 bombs. 2 bombs in each bay which opens up a second before dropping to keep the radar signature low. The two bombs are in a vertical line, one behind the other.

Each side missile bay has a rotating 4 missile 6-shooting like loader. Meaning when 1 missile is dispensed the loader is rotated towards the next missile. This means (4 x 4) and 16 missiles total with 8 more internal in a dual horizontal missile configuration. Which means four missiles, two missiles upon a single hard-point one behind the other. (4 x 2)

A single retractable 20mm, 6 barreled M61 Vulcan retractable Minigun which is located directly under the cockpit; directly before the ventral bomb-bay. All of these things are placed into the most manuverable fighter on/in the NS Planet.
