Bausen Air Industries
In cooperation with West & Burke Energy


Bausen Air Industries has come to together with energy corporation West & Burke to bring it's products to an international sale. While before BAI only produced air craft on a private level we will no be willing to open up sales to the public.

The Founding of Bausen Air Industries

Bausen Air Industries began as the dreams of one man, Desmond Bausen. Desmond Bausen was born to a middle class household in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He grew up constantly looking to the skies and taking a great interest in anything mechanical. As time went on he looked to engineering and design as his future and by 2000 he was enrolled in The Central University at Riyadh, majoring in industrial design and engineering.

However, his stay at the university would be interrupted by war. By 2001 civil war had broken out in Arabicia and Desmond found himself on the side of the Liberation. While the Liberation was a smaller force, they did possess several aircraft given to them by their funding. Desmond had always dreamt of flying, and now a chance to learn how came it's way. The Liberation sent the recruit Desmond to Jeedah to learn how to fly and within months he was one of the few, daring flyers of the Liberation.

Desmond had immeadiate success flying. He was able to acheive every objective on all of his runs and gained the admiration of his peers and his leaders. When the war began to escalate and the Liberation found itself needing more leaders for more expansion, Desmond was offered a position. Desmond now was a Comadant in the Liberation Air Force, or LAF. The LAF would contiue fighting until 2004, all the while Desmond continued to fly missions. When peace finally came to Arabicia when the Liberation declared rebellion over. Desmond decided he would return to Riyadh and continue his studies so that he could design aircraft for the nation he helped build. Desmond finished his studies and graduated in 2006 with highest honors and immeadiatly gained the financial backing of West & Burke to create a military grade aircraft manufacterer.

Air Supremacy Fighters

B-25 Advanced Air Superiority Fighter "The Falcon"

The B-25 was Bausen Industrie's first design and it embodies all of our standards. The B-25 is a very well rounded machine, it is fitted with the finest engines, operating system, metals, and is made by the incredible standards of Desmond Bausen.

Structure
The most noticable feature of the B-25 is the forward sweeping of the wings. Through rigorous field studies and computer simulations it was determined that forward sweeping the wings would maximize manueverabillity, something essential in a fighter. The material used on the B-25 is based mainly on standard aluminum lithium, but also incorporates titanium, nickel and a plastic composite that Bausen currently declines to comment on. The make up of the metals ensure a durable plan that will also be lightweight. The plane is composed of smooth edges, so that the plane will be less easily detected by radar and to improve aerodynamics. Only one pilot is necessary to operate the plane and he is seated forward close to the nose of the vessel, as is common. The B-25 has an internal weapons bay, and multiple external pylons. While the Falcon is certainly stealth capabale, it is a war plane and expected to make adequate use of it's 12 external hardpoints.

Propulsion
Power for the fighter comes from twin Burke Moters Inc. jet engines. Burke thought it best to use the turbofan design, which increases speed and also is less expensive to maintain than most other types of propulsion. The 2005 edition of the turbofan is capable of outputting a 36,00 lbst, no easy feat. The engines, while already incredibly strong, also utilize a thrust vectoring feautre. Thrust vectoring allows quick, small movements that a veteran pilot would find incredibly useful in intense dogfights. The Burke Motors 2005 turbofan will also come in a vertical take off edition, making the Falcon even more versatile.

Operating System
The final component of the B-25 is the entirely new operating system. BAI contracted the design to the top rated programming company in Arabicia, Saudi Technical Inc. for the task. Saudi Tech was able to create a precision, multi-laser targeting system that can lock onto several targets at once. Because of this advancement the B-25 will be able to accurately strike targets on ground and in air at the same time. Once the laser has 'tagged' the enemy the missle signal will be relayed the position and the computer will automatically update the missile's vectoring to ensure a hit. Besides working as a targeting system the Hellfire OS will also be able to integrate all of the planes avionics and automatically maintain itself, only bringing up important notices or controls to the pilot via the 'Hellmet'. The Hellmet is an electronic helmet worn by the pilot that will visually relay crucial information reguarding the plane and enemy positions, this is also how the pilot will be able to attack enemies beyond his vision, something that is necessary in modern warfare. In addition to maintaining systems the Hellfire OS will also be abel to jam radars and infrared radar systems, should the plane still become visible the pilot will be notified to enact the chaff or flares in order to divert a missile striking the plane.

Light Weight/Interceptors

BX-4 "The Hornet"

The BX-4, BAI's first venture into lightweight interceptors, is designed for usage on the sea or for defensive purpose. While the Hornet is an extremeley potent attack fighter, it's lightweight, and high speed make it most aptly suited for usage as an interceptor on bombers or multi-role fighters.

Structure
The Hornet was designed to be a speedy interceptor from the get go. The small, sleek frame insures speed and stealth, while the forward swept wings give the Hornet increased manuverability. There is a single, front seated pilot and a fair sized internal weapons bay behind and beneath him. Because the plane is defensive external pylons were included, but the use of external weaponry may reduce the speed of the plane, so are generally not reccomended. The materials of the plane are derived from the same of the Falcon, but due to the success of the secret plastic composite BAI has decided to increase its of the material on the Hornet's frame. Now the plane only uses aluminum lithium, titanium, and the plastic composite 'X'. The framing of the plane makes the Hornet a rapid, and agile fighter.

Propulsion
Bausen industries chosen to enlist Burke motors once more when designing the engine of the plane. While a more powerful engine was available, BAI opted to use the lighter Burke turbofan 15. The turbofan 15 is much like the 2005 in that it uses the turbofan technology and is also capable of thrust vectoring. The Burke Motors 15 will also be available in a vertical take off edition.

Notatble Features
The Hornet's operating system is an avionionics incorporating multi-laser targetting system and is a version of the Hellfire OS fitted for the BX-4. The operating system uses multiple lasers to 'tag' enemy planes, installations, or positions and then the Hellfire Operating system will automatically relay the enemy position to the missile, guiding the ordanance to its target by updating the missile's dircetional vectors.
The Hornet's older cousin the Falcon was able to hold up to 20 hardpoints, while the BX-4 has only 12. While 12 hardpoints isn't anything to sneeze at on such a light fighter, BAI decided to make up for the loss of four hardpoints BAI by adding an electronically controled 30mm autocannon. The 30mm will be most useful when dealing with within vision targets, an area the Hornet was designed to accel at.
The BX-4's electronic countermeasures are the very same as the Falcon's. The Hornet has a radar jammer, an infrared radar jammer, and also utilizes both chaff and flares to protect itself from enemy missile fire.

Long Range/Bombers

Attack Helicopters/Ground Attacking Units

"The Saud" BH-21 Heavy Attack Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/ka-52-1.jpg

The BH-21 Attack Helicopter was a vehicle design to carry a massive armarment. The primary role of The Saud (named for the recently departed royal family) is to establish superiority on the ground through the air. While the Saud presents a large target and is hefty for an attack helicopter of it's class, the coaxial design and strong engines make up for it, providing it with necessary speed.

BAI has designed the helicopter using the coaxial design, giving the BH-21 two sets of blades. The use of the coaxial design gives The Saud a unique manueverabillity and speed to get to any advantageous attack location. Powering the large helicopter are twin Burke turboshaft 330s which can easily topple 2,400 horse power. The pilot and weapon offciers sit side by side in a large, heavily armored cockpit. Behind the cockpit are the external wings, which can hold anti tank, air to air, or rocket munitions. Besides utilizing the weapons based on the wings the Saud uses a 30mm movable automatic gun. All ordancence of the helicopter is commanded by the HellfireL OS. The OS is similiar to the OS used in the fighters that preceded the Saud, but the L utilizes having two crew members by giving the Weapons Officer more control of his munitions and has a seperate interface for the pilot, who only will need to worry about the commanderring of the helicopter.



Engine: 2 Burke Motors turboshaft 330s (2,400 h.p total)
Weight (total): 12,300 kg
Rotor diameter: 16 m
Flight Speed: 315 kph
Practical Flight range: 600 km
Crew: 2 (1 pilot, 1 weapons officer)
Equipment: HellfireL OS, night vision capable, thermal detection capable, laser target tracking, radar reflective paint finish
Armarments:
Anti tank- 20 "Hawk Eye" Anti-tank missiles capable of piercng 1000mm armor, 30mm automatic gun
Anti-infantry- 125 70mm "Tsunami" rockets, electronically controlled gatling gun

I didn't. While I looked at both sites to see what standards are I by no means c+p'ed anything.

You're linking right to them.

OOC: PhotoBucket (http://www.photobucket.com/) is a good, free host for any pictures that you might want to post. Just register an account, and you'll be able to store, post and link to any photos you like. =)

Snippets.

Oi, a bit condescending, are we?

He's linking to the pictures, not the stats.

Do care to actually read things next time.

Thank you for taking the time to notice I was only attempting to provide a visual aid for the product.

ooc: never cared for pictures - as long as it kills.

IC: The Emirate is willing to permit work contracts that assist both your aircraft industry and prodcution, as well as ours. As far as the states go, your planes are of great quality. While it is too late to make purchases to assist in our Sudan campaign, we still wish to confirm this proposal to increase the advantages of our dual partnership between Bausen Industries and the industries in the Emirate.

We might also consider a sale very soon, but not at the moment.

To: The Emirate of Alif Laam Miim

We thank you for the approval of our craft and look forward to working either for or with the Emirate. Bausen Air Industries would be highly interested in establishing a partnership with Arms Manufacturers in Alif Laam Miim and hope to hear back from you soon.

Cordially Yours,
Desmond Bausen
