Last thing probably for a while as College induction day is in. Ooh 9ish hours.
Any-who this is just something I've been toying with for lack of ability to sleep. It's based off of the EE Canberra as you can probably guess.
It's meant to represent something still in operational use. Turbofan power as opposed to turbojet, modern avionics and flight controls, capable of launching a variety of smart stores, loitering to provide support for hours at a time and able to like the EA-1F above somewhere provide ISR support via EO sensors either in the bomb-bay or via an MX-20 turret in the nose. Gun armament on the interdictor will either be a singular GAU-22 or similar rotary cannon or a quad pack of MG213 derived 30mm cannon (DEFA, Aden etc) Of the six external hard-points the middle on each wing are plumbed for drop tanks up-to 300gallons in general the hard-points are all stressed to 2,500lbs and the bay is capable of handling a total of at any one time 6x 1,000lb bombs or a number of smaller munitions 12x 500lb bombs etc.
Crew as of now stands at 2-4 depending on the mission. Pilot, Co-Pilot / Flight Engineer and two mission specialists (who reside in the space behind the cockpit but before the bomb-bay. All sit on MB Mk10 (I think is the model I'm looking for) ejection seats.
Apologies if any of the above doesn't make sense but I'm starting to nod off. See you on the other side gents.
