The Binarian Air force is seeking a contract for a new Long range Heavy Land based bomber. In addition it also is seeking a short ranged, land based bomber for low altitude close air support. We are looking for domestic production rights for the accepted designs. Price limit for the heavy bomber is 70 billion, and 47 billion for the short ranged bomber. Short range bomber must have a range of over 350 km. Heavy bomber range must be over 16,000 KM, and carry atleast 50,000 kg of ordnance.

OOC: If its not a total rip off a RL plane(That means changing a few things in the stats and calling it orignal), or a godmode, wank or if its just plain stupid, I'll consider it.

The Holy Empire of Lascasia has a blooming Combat Aviation and Military Technology Sector, and we volunteer the services of our Industry to help outfit your nation with the weapons it needs to survive the harsh world of today. We do not have any designs currently available for foreign investors, nor any designs we would be willing to sell the rights to, but we are more than happy to offer to work with you in designing your own set of Bombers. We've drawn up the preliminary dossier's below for your enjoyment:

This improves its combat ability and low-level flight capability.




If these designs suit you, we gladly await your proposal.

We must delcine your design for the lack of Production rights.

OOC: I'm sorry, but you didn't read my post and failed to meet the design requirements.

Too lazy to make an IC post, but you can buy this (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?showtopic=1591&hl=) -- or, for that matter, these (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?showtopic=2481&hl=), if you're really insane. (Alternately, ask Space Union or Tyrandis, who as I recall are the two major aircraft folks.)

ooc: not sure if it is good enough to be worthy of a second look, seeing as it was my first airplane design, but here goes.

ic:
Allied Weapon Works would like to offer the following plane for your short range requirement
SF-01 Shrike
As the increasing age of the Flogger, and Fitter, strike aircraft was becoming a increasing problem, it was decided to design a improved, yet still low cost, aircraft to replace them.
Rather than say, trying to create a aircraft that would be a fighter/strike aircraft, it was decided that this would be a dedicated strike aircraft, and the only air to air armament on it would be for self defense.

Airframe:
A simple airframe, with high a high wing, was picked. Made out of high quality steel, as titanium would not be needed, as this plane was to be strictly subsonic, even though it would be in the high subsonic region.

Engine:
After considering reusing the engines from the craft she was replacing, it was instead decided to use a new, lower power, and non afterburning, turbofan, the decision to drop the afterburner having been made as it wouldn't really need it due to the slower speed.

Avionics
A simple ranging radar was all put in the nose, as well as a terrain following one (so it doesn't run into the ground on missions), but that was about it. All that was needed apart from that was iff, a rwr, and the standard loadout of chaff and flares, all of which was put in.

Weapons and hardpoints:
A single 30mm revolver type gun was put in the nose, behind the radars, and under the wings were placed 2 hardpoints (each), as well as a wingtip one for aam's. To this, as a final gesture, was added a underbelly pylon, which could be either used for a large bomb, or (more usually) a drop tank.

Type: strike aircraft
crew: 1
engine: 1x aww non afterburning turbofan developing 11.030lbs of thrust
weight (empty): 14.771lbs (6700kg)
mtow: 28.660lbs (13000kg)
performance:
maximum speed, clean, and at optimum altitude: 568mph (914kmh)
rate of climb: 10.250ft (3.124m) per minute
service ceiling: 41.650ft (13.000m)
take off run: 3.220ft (982m), at maximum take off weight (mtow)
range: from 345 miles to 2073 miles (556-3336km) depending on loadout, and mission
dimensions
wingspan 32ft, 9in (10.0m(includes missles))
length:44ft, 6in (13.58m)
height:15ft 1/4in (4.576m)
wing area: 226,05sqft (21.00sqm)
armament:
1X30mm "revolver type" cannon with 500 rounds
2 aa-11 archer aam's (self defense) (or sraam equalients)
hardpoints for up to 8.377lbs (3800kg) of ordinance, and or extra fuel tanks

And yes, unlike the previos offer, we are willing to sell domestic production rights.
(oh and yes, it is a slightly modified AMX clone, in case the stats looked familiar)
