Overview

supercritical airfoil for shorter takeoff/landing and fuel efficiency; airframe out of superplastic forming zinc-aluminum; areas under high thermal/mechanical stress needs titanium I think it's called Ti-62222 or something for what they use in the F-22 vertical stabilizers probably out of al-li? Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic? we can probably dissolve schiff-base-salt RAM into an epoxyide applique

Ferry Range: 11,000 mi (9,560 nm, 15,000 km)

Service Ceiling: 92,300ft

Armament

Four Khan type missiles (In Artitsa's case, GSM.38 Jupiter ASM) in internal bay. These can be swapped out for 35,000kg of munitions, including housing for upto 48 AM-98 sized cruisemissiles.

Electronics

  • Athena System
  • Radomes are constructed out of selective bandpass material
  • rearward facing radar
  • missile alert warners
  • super-heterodyne RWR (so you can figure out the bearing of a transmitter)
  • directional RF jammer mounted in the tailfins
  • pod-mounted IR/UV laser jammer
  • INS/GPS navigation
  • self-repairing flight controls
  • multifunction radar, FLIR/EO imager too
  • utilities management for stuff like hydraulics and oxygen and electrical generation
  • stores management for fuel + payload

Usage

Soon to be demonstrated.
