Description:
The Falkasian F-29 Prowler is a delta-wing multi-role Fighter/Bomber aircraft, designed and produced by the Falkasian Aerospace Division. The aircraft was developed out of the need to replace the aging Su-27 fleet currently in service within the Falkasian Air Force, and has since been used in multiple conflcits around the globe.

Originally the product of Request FAIR 8-1 of the Ministry of Defense, the new design called for;

Crew of Two
Twin engines
Range of 300 nautical miles (556 km) for a normal low-speed mission, and 200 nautical miles (370 km) for a high-speed interception mission.
Operation from a 5,000 foot runway.
Mach 3.2 cruise at an altitude of 50,000 feet (15,000 m).
Maneuverability (4 g turns with no loss of speed or altitude at Mach 2.4 and 50,000 feet).
The time from a signal to start the engines to the aircraft's reaching 50,000 feet and Mach 3.2 to be less than five minutes.
Turn-around time on the ground was to be less than seven minutes.

During the development process, the Falkasian Aerospace Division had considerable trouble meeting all the requirements for the new aircraft, most notably the speed and relatively short take-off run. The speed and velocity requirements were evntually dealt with through the design and construction of the FK-95 Turbofan engine, which has now been integrated into most Falkasian technology. The shortened take-off run was also aided greatly by the development of the FK-95 engine, although other measures had to be taken to help the aircraft off the ground.

It wasn't until a freak accident outside the Aerospace Division's headquarters when the design engineers came up with an innovative solution. The accident had involved two streetracers and their heavily modified cars. Each, apparently nearing the end of their race, had fired their nitrious tanks (Nitrogen Oxide, NoS) at the same time, inevitably jolting into one another. The crash resulted in a gigantic explosion, but the ensuing carnage was probably the best brainstorm ever to hit the onlooking engineers.

They considered the possibility of adding built-in Nitrogen Oxide tanks next to the engines, with a direct feed into them. This would allow, at the pilot's discretion, the flooding of NoS into turbofan engine. The gas would in turn spontaneously ignite and add extra power to the thrust. It was concluded that, with enough NoS inside the tank, the F-29 could get off the ground in a run much shorter than the maximum of 5,000 feet. It was also determined that the F-29 was carrier-capable, due to the immense thrust boost granted by the Nitrogen Oxide.

ooc: Umm, have you ever heard of afterburners?

OOC: I have, and choose an alternative to those fuel wasters. NoS is pretty inventive if you ask me, lol.

ooc: i just had the image of vin diesel in a fighter plane :P

ooc2: i had that idea too, for a new propulsion system that would be inventive. if you look at my newest craft, the Jager ucav, i have included a PDE (pulse-detonation engine).
