introducing the current pride of the gwrachbyd aero-space force the BF-1 hammerhead endo-exo atmospheric attack jet
a multi role combat interceptor/attack jet the BF-1 is the most advanced fighter craft we've developed to date. powered by two JN-404 duel feed direct cycle nuclear turbojets (the heating for the air passed through the jets is through nuclear decay rather than conventional combustion of fuel) giving the craft unlimited range with a top speed (recorded in prototype testing) in excess of mach 10 (prototype 001 suffered catastrophic airframe failure due to frictional heating of the airframe at mach 8.8+ resulting in new material developments and speed governors for atmospheric flight) allowing the craft to enter low earth orbit for a short time thanks to the closed cycle feed system using stored air to fuel the craft when at altitudes where the thinning atmosphere can not support the engines, refulling of the closed feed system is done automatically when the aircraft enters an atmosphere thick enough to provide the intake pump with air
technical details
key features of the BF-1 include networking sensor systems allowing craft to utilise sensor data from other sources including satellites, other aircraft in the squad or ground based radar arrays inproving the craft's stealth capabilities by allowing it to operate without the need of active radar systems.
swing role programing systems allowing the craft to change operational roles at the press of a button switching flight and operational programing with ease.
programmable flight systems allowing the craft software to be updated throughout the craft's operational life time
modular systems allowing for upgrade and easy swapout in the field of all major systems with ease. allowing the craft to go from air to air interceptor to search and rescue to ground attack in a fraction of the time required to adapt most current aircraft
computer assisted flight system to help compensate for pilot black out during high G maneuvers (allowing the craft to finish maneuvers or continue to track a target in the event that the pilot blacks out due to high G maneuvers) meaning that the craft continues limited fly without pilot input.
