i'm only 14

[New Guy 1]

why?

in case, we can still use e-mails, PM's and this thread.

 

now..... what kind of sensor suite?

 

How about long-range surveillance systems like the one that a Blackbird or U-2 has?

[/q

 

ok

[New Guy 1]

Or sensors like can be found in Dale Brown's novels, hehe

Anyway, what propulsion are in mind for this bird?

[THEJETDEMON 0]

Electromagnetic,scramjet,ramjet,turbofan, and bleed jet

[the test pilot 5]

strike figher.

 

what else?

 

however, i am 16 and i have an hotmail account.

 

just ask your parents to make it under their name.

[THEJETDEMON 0]

ill try

[THEJETDEMON 0]

Weapons:

 

1.TLS (tactical laser system)

2.8 AMRAAMS

3.2 sidewinders

4.1 6 barreled cannon

 

or

 

1.4 JDAMS

2.6 AGM-88

3.TLS

4.cannon

5.2 sidewinders

 

or mix em up if you want to.

[New Guy 1]

I'd rather use it for air superiority role, so I think I'll take the 1st loadout. And maybe some AGM's for limited strike...

[the test pilot 5]

tailhook is a must, and reiforced gear for carrier ops.

maybe folding wings?

 

the TLS in a retractable turret, or in an external pod?

[THEJETDEMON 0]

retract turret

[JesterV2 0]

canopy wich can be opend and maybe a VTOL(vertical takeoff and landing)

[THEJETDEMON 0]

interesting

[THEJETDEMON 0]

anyone have wings or fuselage types in mind

 

 

PS.MUST BE STEALTHY

[the test pilot 5]

advanced bvr radar-driven engagement ability

 

hi-speed data link to make it able to share datas with other allied aircrafts in area.

 

integration between any system, 2 huge mfd touchscreen, helmet mounted HUD.

poxibility to convert it to firefox-like mind waepon control, or to COFFIN system.

 

pulse and ramjet engine.

 

folding wings, with a RAM coat, like yukikaze's mave ones.

FLIR/EO sensor with laser designator, with a FOV large like human's one, showed in a Picture-in picture on the helmet-hud.

HOTAS, of course.

Voice commands for secondary functions.

a combat capable Autopilot, and a virtual RIO able to notify threats and to act as advisor during the mission and also in the planning phase.

no VTOL, better an ESTOL ability (extremely STOL) and a low stallspeed.

let's make it able to land on carriers without hook.

however we will have it. for an insurance.

in a bay like gear ones.

i am changing it from a sim fighter to a real fighter aircraft. I Applied for a government grant, so the plane has to be within budget.

[New Guy 1]

Anyone remembers/knows about XF-26 STALMA project? Maybe this can become another alternative beside of it if the budget fits. On the other hand, I think I need to quibble a bit for "firefox-like mind weapon control" as stated by the test pilot. My concern is like what happened in Dale Brown's novel Day of the Cheetah: XF-43 DreamStar neural interface systems aka. ANTARES actually turns the pilot into different personality and it is dangerous since the pilot become possessed with the aircraft and willing to sacrifice anything to save it... It's only my opinion though, no offense meant

[Dreamstar 3]

Dont you think its a bit hard to get possesed by a aircraft in a computer game? ANTARES or not

PS.MUST BE STEALTHY

Theres always the good ol' CFA-44 Nosferatu...(hint hint)

[the test pilot 5]

we are trying to make something new.

 

you can take design ideas from the nosferatu, but this has to be new.

 

 

btw, the mind-control system i tought is just an one-way interface, just to prevent problems like ANTARES' ones

 

and, as last instance... which budget limit?

Got your idea

About the budget, let's ask THEJETDEMON...

[THEJETDEMON 0]

151.5 billion dollars estimated, maybe lower

[THEJETDEMON 0]

SM-36 from stavatti

 

 

 

 

[the test pilot 5]

nice.

 

not what i was thinking, but very nice.

Yup, that's the one I was talking about. The STALMA. They says it got active stealth by using some kind of plasma between the aircraft skins... Anyway, how stealthy our a/c will be?
