Description
So I was reading about various fusion reactor designs....
And decided to make something to take advantage of one of such designs. This aircraft uses two fusion reactors based off of the Polywell design, along with a pair of high bypass turbofans based off of the design used in my Mule. The turbine engines are heavily modified to have electric assistance with energy from the reactors, along with having a bank of super capacitors. The aircraft also uses heat from the reactor to heat up air in a similar manner to the nuclear ramjets from the 1960's. This thrust is used to provide VTOL performance, along with increasing agility. Extra electrical output is used to power a MHD thrust system, which allows silent, low speed flight.
Other features include a modular weapons bay, electro-optical camo, extremely low IR signature, low radar signature, and high endurance. It is only a subsonic aircraft, traveling at up to Mach .95 @ 30,000 ft. It is 92.3 ft long and 104 ft in span.
