Tested structure...

[Templarios]

We are greatly impressed with the stats and approve the continuing of testing.

OOC: hot stuff

[Delfos]

Last structural tests have concluded that the tails do not have to be as big as they are being tested, and it decreases max speed, but there may have to be vertical stabilizers. Tests show the structure holds fine in super-sonic speed, but it's not very flexible, and attempting a big G move can provoke bad control of the vehicle or structural collapse.

What range would this aircraft have, what would be its climb rate, how many hard points for fuel/weapons would it have and what weapons would it have by default.

[Delfos]

the plane is done, I'll figure that calculations some other time. here:

[Delfos]

This project is complete, the aircraft was able to hit all targets, 100% accuracy against both floating targets and flying targets, and reached Mach.2, promising beating the record in the best conditions.

ooc: sorry to keep it short, I was writing an RP for this, but I ended up with the message gone.

[Validus]

Validus will begin full production of this fighter to replace aging VF-18 Hornets.

[Varkour]

The Varkourian version!

[Delfos]

ok, we produce it in Validus, Zabid Missile Industry will transport the new engines and the required hardware to your mounting plant. We need to figure how many end up with the 1st round, since it will be free from those who gave in the budget.

[Templarios]

After trails against our current fighters we have found that the performance much improved and will be playing an start count to replace some of our current aircraft.
