Aircraft Evaluation by TKA of @keptin and JORG Industries Duck: Aerial photograph of the JORG Duck going transonic on the first lest flight Figures as tested: Price: 34,332,000 Fuel: 3,300 units Cruising Speed: 1160m/s Cruising Altitude: 20,000m Fuel Burn Rate: 1.18 Range: 3244km Flight notes (Please note these are take directly off of the test pilot's note sheet.): Hard to get into the cockpit b/c its so high off the ground. Needed a rope ladder which was hard to climb with my bags No user manual other than a few notes scribbled on the cockpit wall. Never mind I found it... Good early engine performance! Handles well at low speeds. Rotated really easy with plenty of lift Oh wait I found the manual... 20,000m!?!!?? That must be a mistake thats so high Climbing is easy and relaxing Approaching 15k meters. don't see how we could get higher than this... WOW! 20,000m is possible Going supersonic is very easy! Note to self: pack food for next test flight The high altitude is making it hard to manuver maneuver High altitude maneuvering is difficult Slowing for a landing now Landing is super easy! I LOVE whoever designed these wings! Our Verdict: This aircraft is a phenomenal machine in many ways. First, the aircraft performs very well at most altitudes and speeds. The only downside is the cursing altitude handling which is poor due to the high altitude. The aircraft also has a very short takeoff and landing for a supersonic transport which allows for a ton of mission flexibility. Second, The aircraft is relatively simple and inexpensive for a supersonic jet. The only downside to this is the very complicated turbo-ramjet engines which power the aircraft. These are pretty maintenance intensive and require a long grounded time. The major drawback to this aircraft, however is the limited practical use of it. Having a small cargo aircraft go this fast is really not a common requirement for airlines as most shipments can be done much cheaper in bulk or on slower aircraft. This means the aircraft would most likely only be able to carry high priority, time sensitive cargo such as organs, medical patients, or time bombs. In final conclusion, while the aircraft is a very good, the implementation of it might be difficult as it can only be used in very specific circumstances. The airline would like to place an order with JORG industries for 4 of these aircraft to serve as high priority cargo transports.

Document: Result from Testing of the "Turboprop" IA-480 Dyamerang Aircraft Created by @SuicidalInsanity and the Insanity Aerospace Corporation The IA-480 in level flight over the ocean outside of Kerbal Space Center airspace Testing Result Numbers: Price: 62,558 Fuel (at recommended levels): 2080 units Cursing Altitude: 7000 - 8000m Cruising Speed: ~218m/s Fuel Burn Rate: Range: 436km Test Review and Evaluation: As the sun rose to another beautiful day on Kerbin, one of the TKA test pilots Sherbas Kerman, his bosses, and flight crew watched eagerly as a prototype IA-480 flew in from its manufacturing plant. As the plane approached the runway on short final Sherbas' excitement turned to shock as the plane loomed nearer. "What is that? That doesn't look like a plane?!" he reportedly remarked during the event after dropping his cigar in shock. When the plane had landed, a team of Insanity Aerospace customer service members came out to give the team a tour. After a bit of convincing in the form of his bosses threatening to fire him, Sherbas agreed to go inside. As he walked around the new aircraft he slowly gained a new respect for its designers. "Man, after seeing it at first I thought these people were crazy, but after walking around, I might just grow to like this new beast." Sherbas exclaimed. Later that day Sherbas and his flight crew strapped in and prepared to fly this new machine. As they were getting ready and putting all the test instraments on the aircraft the ground crew remarked as to how easy engine maintenance must be, with the engines so close to the ground. After start up and as they taxied out to the runway Sherbas' co-pilot remarked on how all the landing gear turned making taxi very difficult. With the plane in position to take off Sherbas pushed the throttles forward. Expecting, as he had seen with prior regional jets, that the aircraft would accelerate normally, Sherbas was not ready for what came next. The 6 engines propelled the aircraft at an extreme acceleration, throwing the crew into their seats. As the plane quickly accelerated through V1, Sherbas threw the stick back and up they went. Doing a double take at the manual he saw the climb angle was recommended at 25 degrees. Reluctantly the aircraft was put into a 25 degree climb and sure enough it actually worked. One thing that was noted was the pitch authority... or well... the severe lack of it. The pitch authority was said to leave "Much to be desired." The rest of the first test flight went rather smoothly. The aircraft preformed well at its cursing altitude and had a fine time performing turns. "One remarkable feature is the cabin comfort" one crew member explained. "With the windows positioned in front of the passengers the view is excellent and allows for a better flying experience." The engine noise is also reduced due to their relatively far distance from the cabin. After the aircraft had landed, the ground grew got a look at the aircraft from a logistical point of view. There were several issues brought up. The first was the numerous amounts of engines the aircraft had. Instead of using two engines like most aircraft of its size, the plane uses six smaller engines. This causes a huge maintenance issue due to the amount of things that can go wrong. One engineer said "Even though the engines are close to the ground there are just so many of them". The second issue brought up was the height at which everything sat. For a small regional airliner, a lot of infrastructure is required to maintain the aircraft. A large baggage elevator and passenger staircase would be required which would have to be specialized for the aircraft. This would limit the amount of places the aircraft could go. The next few test flights were set to look at the emergency characteristics of the aircraft. First Sherbas and the crew were set to perform various engine out tests. This took a long time with 6 engines but the plane performed well with any single engine out and fine with few out. Next, the crew went on to test its glide. As the crew rolled the engines back to idle they watched as the speed dial went from 218 to 150 very fast. Sherbas put the plane into a steep dive. The crew reasoned that the plane must have an extreme amount of drag. Knowing this they restarted the engines and brought the plane back to land. Pros and Cons: Pros: Excellent passenger and crew comfort Excellent TWR Relatively good flight characteristics Standard cost Cons: Difficult logistics Poor pitch authority Poor glide slope Difficult maintenance Verdict: The airline considers the Dymerang a good aircraft for city hopping but due to its logistical problems as well as maintenance difficulties it is only useful in certain situations. Therefore, TKA would like to place an order for 25 aircraft for service from major hubs to smaller but well equipped airports.

Alright here we go. IAI Paneter . Contract No.004 Third Generation Made by me: Asksomoneelse Aircraft called the IAI Paneter Description: Its 1960, and with tensions brewing in the Middle East once again, Israel contracts Israeli Aircraft Industries to build a new fighter for their air force. The Israelis need a new fighter capable of engaging in turn fights with Egypt’s newly acquired MiG-21 soviet fighter aircraft. As tensions are already high, IAI knew they didn’t have much time. To make a fighter quickly, they turned to what they already had. Their assembly lines where already pumping out the IAI Nesher fighter-bomber, an aircraft designed based off of the French Mirage 5. The Israelis took a heavily modified Nesher airframe and added canards. This gave the aircraft much better turning characteristics, allowing it to compete with the MiG-21. The aircraft was named Paneter or, Panther in Hebrew After the aircraft preformed exceptionally in the 6 days war, helping Israel secure its borders and establish dominance over its neighbors, the aircraft was looked at by the USAF. Seeing how well the aircraft did against the MiG-21, they were keen to see if it could solve their problems in Vietnam. In Vietnam, the USAF was having trouble with the soviet MiG-21, as it was much more maneuverable than their fighter aircraft. They wanted a smaller, nimbler fighter to counter it and they wanted it fast. This led them to look for already proven fighters from other countries and the Paneter was perfect. .
