The Nemesis is the latest and greatest plane being pushed out by the Londinian People's Air Force. Equipped with stealth technology (radar absorbing paint, LPI Radar, slit exhaust vents, etc.) and VTOL, the Nemesis is one of the most advanced fighters of our day, and the best multirole fighter available.

There are three variants of the Nemesis: the F-37A, F-37B, and the F-37C. The F-37A is the primary form of the Nemesis, possessing all of the aforementioned statistics. In preliminary testing, the F-37A matched the F-16 in terms of manoeuvrability and high-g performance, and surpassed the F-16 in stealth, payload, range on internal fuel, avionics, operational effectiveness, supportability, and survivability.

The F-37B differs from the F-37A due to the fact that VTOL capabilities have been replaced in favour of STVOL technology. Furthermore, the F-37B comes equipped with solid-state laser technology and high intensity microwave beams.

The F-37C Naval Nemesis is designed to replace F/A-18 Super Hornet, along with other carrier-based aircraft. It has a larger, folding wing and larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, and stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier landings. The larger wing area provides increased range and payload, with twice the range on internal fuel compared with the F/A-18C, achieving much the same goal as the much heavier Super Hornet.

Price: For the standard F-37A, along with the F-37C, the price is £30,000,000. For the F-37B, the price is £35,000,000. Production rights are £4,500,000,000.

The engine alone weighs most of the stated fighter weight.

And I'd suggest to make designs a bit more elaborate...

Whoops. Typo.

(OOC: Not a bad Start. needs more details though May I surgest the draft room? they were very helpful when I was designing my F/A-4 Super Pheonix. )

Is that IRC?

Fourm. http://s13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?act=idx Also check the name after VTOL...

[OOC: If you're going to prance around with VTOL AND STVOL capabilites you need a pic that's at least looks capable of either. the Mirage 2000 does not. It'd be wise to ditch the pic, or replace with with the F-35. Also, you have no room for a solid state laser or high powered MASER array on this aircraft, especially with the picture looking as it does.]

I myself have designed a new fighter and I was wondering if you could render an image for me.

Wasnt that pic used in the Curatii fighter as well?

Yeah; this is the redesign of it.

OOC: I suggest taking a look teh fighter tutorial that me and Juumanistra made: http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?showtopic=1560

Updated.

Limit per/number of pylon(s): Six internal (910 kg each), eight external (2,250 kg each)
It doesn't seem to have THAT much internal space to carry an actually small bomber's payload, and neither the structural strength to support such heavy external armament (structural ratio just a bit over 0.40). All aircraft with such payloads have about 0.5 empty/MTOW, and still sacrifice thrust/weight ratio, being bombers.

The best multirole fighter currently is Su-30MKI, and it, with 0.45 empty/MTOW, carries 0.21 of payload at MTOW. Supersonic bombers take the same; F-111 has hardpoints for 0.30, but it can't go supersonic with such load, so that's more of a novelty rather than something useful.

In fact, no single flying object has this high payload/mass ratios, and it couldn't possibly take it, because it exceeds the MTOW-empty figure.


Furthermore, for air dominance fighter such cargo lifting isn't needed, so I'd suggest to redo it all basing on, probably, EF2000.

Bump for customers.

OOC: What are the chances you'll sell this design to General Resources to sell for like 50% of all profits? I want to have a more NS-centric storefront while providing the standard US and European selection while omitting the Russian selection for Chinese equipment.

OOC: Obscenely high - it'll get more publicity there.

General Resources Inc would like to purchase production and sale rights to the F-37 Eurafighter Nemesis in return for 50% of all profits made.

What do you say?

Order approved, we are sending 5 gold plated KF15 Fulcrum Assault Rifles as our gift to you.

OOC: If it wasn't clear, I've also sent the money for production rights.

Bump upon the recommendation of Leafanistan.

Random Pilot of the Vetakan Defence Air Force:

"A Fantastic Aircraft, Capable of anything thrown at her has provided the VDAF with the capacity to defend itself from such threats as Clandonian built Superior Forces during the Vetakan Clandonian War. I strongly recommend it"

The Thon Would like to purchase rights if it can be confirmed and tested that this said aircraft proves superior to the F16Is used by the Thon Commonwealth member Israel. We are looking to replace them with this aircraft after conclusive testing proves its superiority. We offer a trade of 3 of our F16Is for 3 of your F-37s so we can each do our own competitive test and comparisons of these two types of aircraft against each other independently then come together and share our results upon of which when and if your F-37 is proved superior, production rights would be desired to be purchased from you or Leafanistan by the Thon.

Would you please agree to this deal? in such potential promise and purchases of said aircraft?

Stealth is not to be considered as a factor or cared for to be a factor by the Thon in comparison as to and is the performance and other capabilities which are far more important.

We don't want another aircraft that performs less than the F16I at the cost of stealth. Stealth isn't a large enough significant factor for replacement.

The details of the F16I are here:

We request and strongly encourage and implore you to please offer further details and more elaboration on your aircraft the F-37 due to criticism from competitors.

OOC: British Londinium got himself nuked to oblivion, so since my company is the only one still holding production rights, you can click the little Integrated Storefront link my signature to buy the F-37.
