The A-57 has been introduced to the international community as of today. It is a new fighter developed by the country of Dashie.
About the aircraft
The A-57 is essentially a redesigned J-10, for improved handling and speed. Built with Specialized dual D-XTS Turbofan engines, as well as two specialized afterburners in the back of the aircraft, the A-57 has also been tested along with other aircraft in its field. Compared to the J-10 and J-11, which the A-57 beat in simulated dog fights, the A-57 has shown to be superior in almost every way.
The A-57 also incorporates many of the favorable aspects of the J-10, such as a bubble canopy. This gives the pilot the ability to have 360 degree vision, as opposed to other aircraft where the pilot has blind spots. We feel that this is an important advantage in the new, 21st century battlefield. In addition, the A-57 is made of solid, sturdy materials, and is not meant to be disposible. Pilots will have all of the newest safety features, including a lightning quick ejection system and an efficient defensive safety system.
It is also essential that pilots travel undetected. That is why the A-57 uses specialized anti-radar paints similar to those on modern stealth craft. This gives the pilot that extra bit of time, or unlimited time if the enemy is using inferior radar systems, to perform their operations and make it back to the airbase safely and without trouble.
The A-57 can also either be single-seated (1 pilot) or double seated (2 pilots). This is to rival the J-10's ability to hold two pilots at a time. The A-57 also uses the "fly by wire" system, which has excellent weight advantages to the aircraft. Another astounding feat of the A-57 aircraft is its countermeasures, which rival, or are even superior to that of the J-10.
