[::The F/A-32 ::]
[:: 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 Asperitas; 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.

[:: General ::]
Top Asperitan aircraft designers from around the nation were hired to replace the F-22 as a superior fighter with a newer better, more maneuverable and cost effective aircraft. Being able to carry more of a payload, go faster; maneuver better, and have 3/4ths the RADAR cross section or if possible less, and have a larger payload. These were the requirements and they were filled perfectly with this beauty of a plane..
[:: Airframe/Construction ::]
Airframe Makeup: 55% Titanium-Aluminide; 20% Super light durable plastics and polymers, 25% Al-Y-Ni Alloy, within a honeycomb frame
The F/A-32 uses a tri-surface configuration; with dual RAM coated canards, One aspect of the F/A-32 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 ‘Dogma’ its incredible maneuverability across such a wide range of speeds and altitudes. 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. Because of the ludicrous high speeds that this plane can attain strengthening of the joints is needed and so the main wings as well as Ruddervators and Canards all feature carbon nano-tubing along the joints to re-enforce them and making the chance of them shearing off at the high speeds that this plane can attain impossible. Which is more than can be said about the RAM coating. Another advance in this design over ANY other is the fact that the canards rotate up to 90 degrees up or down to make the plane roll faster and quicker as well as more efficently than any other. Which further assists its manuverability. Despite that because the canards swing forward they produce more lift than conventional canards and this swing wing design for Canards has so far never been approached with this Wyvern design. When the forward sweeping canards are in position this plane can take off easily in a SVTOL configuration.
[:: Propulsion/Engine ::]
FSE XF-132 Turbofan engines, rated at 15,978 lbf (dry) each, with a 3D thrust vectoring control, allowing for a hyper-high amount of maneuverability and coupled with its advanced fly by optics and electronics makes it a fighter unparalleled by any other jet in terms of maneuverability. These engines are essentially normal Turbofan engines though have been made up from extremely light composite materials which can withstand higher heats that common Titanium Alloys used in engines. Thusly it gives the plane a higher range and higher Thurst to Rate ratio.
Thrust-to-weight Ratio: 9/1
Engine Weight (individual): 4,309 lbs
[:: Electronics/Avionics ::]
The F/A-32 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/A-32 to control his attacks in a full 160 degree diameter as well as track up to 38 targets at one time and track enemies up to 600 Km’s away. A LADAR sensor suite, which can help by tracking as far as 80 km and can map the area under the plane to provide a 3D real time map up to 40Km which can be brought up on the main LCD. 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.
[:: Weapons/Armament ::]
The F/A-32 has 3 Bays a single internal bomb bay obviously used for bombs which can store up to 4 Bombs and two ventral missile bays. The internal bombay can also accomidate upto 8 Missiles though.
A single 20mm Asperitan Auto-Cannon which are located directly under the cockpit; directly before the ventral bomb-bay, it is rotate-able 40 degrees in any direction and has its own software to help compensate for windage, speed, direction, and distance of a target all in real time to make the accuracy of the gun nearly 99% of the time. This software had and is still in R&D to further increase accuracy of the weapon by increasing the efficiency of the code.
[:: Counter Measures ::]
To ensure that LIDAR/LADAR equipment can’t successfully track the Dogma, it employs a special microbead skin which bends visible light around the aircraft. Which not only makes the aircraft invisible to the naked eye but makes making a LIDAR/LADAR lock on highly improbbable. Laser scrambling systems that will scramble any light waves or laser beams and or laser designators. This ensures that the enemy can’t track the aircraft with light-oriented tracking devices. Also, thanks TTFT's resilience and ruggedness and extra measures to make it more refractive to EMP strikes. This plane wont fall out of the sky at an EMP strike.
