Model NB-2

Image (http://www.chart-air.co.uk/Boeing%20727-200.jpg)

The NB-2 is a mid-sized regional aircraft, designed to carry significantly more passengers then the NB-1. It incorporates three columns of seats, an increase of over 70 passengers from the NB-1. Despite this increase in size,the NB-2 can land on the smaller runways at regional airports, while still flying medium range flights. This is achieved by the placement of a third engine in the rear of the aircraft, along with the addition of high-lift devices on the wings. These additions allows the NB-2 to maintain stability at very low speeds for it's size. The NB-2 is also relatively independent of ground services, unlike many larger jets. It incorporates an airstair which opens out from the rear of the fuselage, along with an auxiliary power unit, which allows the NB-2 to power services such as air conditioning without using one of the engines.

Model NB-3

Image (http://www.b737.org.uk/images/737-200.jpg)

The NB-3 is another medium range, single-aisle, narrow body jet liner. The engines on this plane are specially designed, with the gearbox moved from the 6:00 position to the 4:00. This gives the engine box a rounded triangular inlet. This shape, in addition to accommodating the moved gearbox, increases engine efficiency. In addition, these aircraft are equipped with recessed wells in which the landing gears reside. As a result of this design. the wheel hub-caps are aerodynamically designed to decrease the drag profile. These aircraft also come with blended winglets installed on the wing tips. These winglets stand 2.4 meters tall and reduce fuel burn by reducing vortex drag. They also reduce engine wear and noise on takeoff.

The NB-4 is a narrow-body commercial passenger aircraft designed by Kereptecean Aviation as a larger variant of the NB-2. It features 20% more seats and a 50% increased range. In addition to this, the NB-4 features blended winglets. This is a carry over from the NB-3, and improves the NB-4's fuel efficiency by 5% by reducing lift-induced drag. The NB-4 is available in two door configurations. The first features three standard doors per side with an additional door on the aft of each wing. All eight of these doors are equipped with emergency inflatable evacuation slides. The second configuration features the three standard doors as well, but replaces the small wing-aft doors with two "plug" doors per side.

The NB-5 is the last in the medium-range commercial passenger aircraft offered by Kereptecean Aviation. The NB-5 are low-wing cantilevered monoplanes. They feature a conventional tail unit and a retractable tricycle landing gear. This model features a wider cabin and larger overhead bins. In terms of computer systems, the NB-5 features an automatic on-board maintenance system, which allows for the avionics to be constantly upgraded, ensuring that this aircraft stays constantly cutting edge. This aircraft, by default, features and all-glass cockpit, and a fully digital fly-by-wire flight control system. This system also incorporates a newly designed Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring system, which displays real-time information concerning vital systems such as the engines, flight controls, pneumatics, and hydraulics. The ECAM design also features a centralized automatic warning dialog for system failures and an electronic checklist to assist in handling an failures that do appear. In addition to these electronic systems, the NB-5 features specially designed and tested winglets. These counteract the induced drag and wingtip vortexes far more effectively then the previous wingtips. These new winglets decrease fuel consumption by 2%.

Model WB-1

Image (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/jetliner/b747/b747_02.jpg)

The similarly-designed predecessors of the WB-1 were some of the first wide-body commercial airliners ever produced. It is from them that this class of aircraft earned the nickname "Jumbo Jet". After quite a few revisions by the skilled designers at Kereptecean Aviation, the WB-1 finally emerged in the aircraft design that is known today. It features a double deck configuration, which, by default, offers extra seating, but can be easily converted for cargo storage. In the cargo configuration, the nose cone can be modified into a front-loading cargo door. The WB-1 features multiple structural redundancy, including four redundant hydraulic systems and four main landing gears. These four landing gears total 16 wheels, which provides a balanced spread on the ground in the event of tire blow-outs. The four redundant gears allow for a safe landing on any two opposing landing gears if the others to not function properly. Finally, the WB-1 features split control surfaces and sophisticated, tipple-slotted flaps that minimize landing speeds. These allow the plane to use standard sized runways, despite the large size of the aircraft itself.

The WB-2 is a long-rage, wide-body airliner. It is currently the world's largest twinjet aircraft, and is used for some of the world's longest scheduled airline flights. These engines are the largest and most powerful turbofans used currently on a commercial airliner. The aircraft also features a LCD glass cockpit, including fully software-configurable avionics as well as fully digital fly-by-wire flight controls with emergency manual reversion. The avionics network that ties these systems together includes a high-speed fiber optic network. This aircraft features the largest landing system ever used on a commercial airliner, including both the landing gear and the tires. The WB-2 also features, as an option, fold-able wingtips, which allows the WB-2 to fit into gates built to accommodate smaller aircraft. The interior configuration of this aircraft features more rounded overhead bins then are usually found on aircraft such as this, as well as larger, more rounded windows. The WB-2 features crew rest areas in the upper floor above the cabin, though these can be swapped out for extra seating or a customer lounge per request.

Model WB-3

Image (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/jetliner/a340/a340_05.jpg)

The WB-3 is a mid-sized, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner. It is the first in the Wide-Body line to use composite materials in most of it's construction. The cabin windows are larger then most other airliners in service at this time, and they are positioned on a higher plane, allowing passengers to see the horizon. These windows are fitted with electrochromism-based auto-dimming glass, to reduce cabin glare. The cabin lights are LEDs, instead of fluorescent tubes, which reduced electricity consumption and allows for a full range of 128 colors. The cockpit is all-glass, featuring an Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet system designed by Peninsula Superconductors. The internal pressure of the aircraft has been increased to the equivalent of 1800 meters, instead of the industry standard of 2400 meters. Studies have shown that this will significantly improve passenger comfort. In addiction, the advanced cabin air-conditioning system provided far better air quality then most other aircraft: Ozone is removed from outside air, HEPA filters remove bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and an alternate filtration system removes odors, irritants, and gaseous contaminants. Bleedless turbofans have replaced superheated air conduits normally used for de-icing. A secondary system that protects wings from accruing ice mid-flight is the inclusion of electro-thermal heater mats attached to the wing slats.

The WB-5 is a long-range, mid-sized, wide-body airline. It was the first aircraft of it's size with a fuselage and wing structures made primarily out of carbon fiber plastic. The cockpit contains 6, 38 cm, LCD displays. The configuration featured two central displays mounted vertically, and two each for the pilot and co-pilot. The pilot/co-pilot screens display primary flight/navigaion information, and the alternate screen display on-board information. The windshield of the aircraft also features an innovative heads-up display. The avionics for the WB-5 are a further development of the Integrated Modular Avionics system found on all our other aircraft. In this system, the IMA will manage a full 40 aircraft functions, up from the previous standard of 23. The WB-5 features a 1,700 horsepower auxiliary power unit, which has a 10% greater power density then competing models. The ram-air turbine has also been localized on the belly of the aircraft.

The WB-6 is a double-decked, wide-body, four-enginge airliner, and the largest passenger aircraft in the world. The upper deck is as wide as most wide-body aircraft. The WB-6 uses a similar cockpit layout to most of our other Wide Body class Large Jet Aerodynes. It features 8, 15 x 20 cm, LCD displays, all of which are physically identical and freely interchangeable. There are two Primary Flight Displays, two navigational displays, one engine parameter display, one system display, and two Multi-Function Displays. The MFDs provide an easy-to-use interface to the flight management system, and include a full QWERTY keyboard and trackball mice. The aircraft also has the option of including an HUD. The avionics system in the WB-6 is truly state of the art. It features an Integrated Modular Avionics system first used by the Kereptecean military. The data communication networks use Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet, based on 100bastTX Ethernet. This system reduces wiring and minimizes latency. The Network System Server eliminates the bulky manuals and charts traditionally carried by pilots. The system is robust enough to do away with all backup paper documents.

OOC: is that good for my first IC purchase? :D

OOC: Brilliant! Sorry there is no write up for the SJ-4. If you want perspective, it is pretty much a copy of the Gulfstream G650 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulfstream_G650)

IC:

Nagiyuma: Purchase confirmed. As our first customer, you have received a permanent discount of 10%, effective on all future purchases.

OOC: Thanks :D

IC:Thank you. Wiring the funds as this message is being sent. The DoPT looks forward to future transactions.
P.S. Could we receive an estimated shipping time please?

OOC: Sorry, forgot to add time equivalence. 1 (RL) day = 1 (NS) year.

IC:

Your shipment should take about one year to be completed. After that point, you can either send pilots to pick them up from our Distribution Airport, or we can fly them to you.

We shall send our pilots to name and fly the planes home, as is Nagiyuma's tradition. Wiring process looks good on our side, have the funds been received?

They have. We again thank you for your patronage at Kereptecean Aviation. We realize that you have choice when you buy civilian aircraft, and we are deeply honored that you chose us.
