A new fighter project has begun to complement, and in time, replace the F-2s in service and in production. This will be the Mitsubishi F-3 Viper Strike. Initial specs: Crew: One and two pilot versions for different mission types Length: 16.27 m Wingspan: 11.70 m Height: 5.15 m Wing area: 35.84 m² Powerplant: Engines: 2x MTU Engineering RSAI-A1 afterburning turbofan, 30,000 lbs thrust each Performance Maximum speed: Mach 2.5 at altitude Range: 1540 km on anti-ship mission Service ceiling 20,000 m Thrust/weight: 0.89 Armament There will be two JM61A1 cannons, both side-by-side in the nose of the aircraft. Compatible with most missiles, like the AIM-9 Sidewinder, although the AA3 Mitsubishi AAM-3 will totaly replace the sidewinder. Air-to-ground missiles, and anti-ship missiles. Various freefall bombs with CGS-1 IIR seeker heads. Avionics Mitsubishi Active Electronically Scanned Array radar system. Differences from the F-2: Bigger payload, faster, bigger range, and a bigger surface area in general, + other smaller changes. |

Would the F-3 be based off the F-16 like the F-2 as well ? |

The F-3 will be more of an improvement of the F-2 then the F-16.... :S Well, basicly, in Mk.2 i was wondering whether this would be a 5 or 4.75gen. Not F-22 5th gen, but more F-35 qaulity. It was either that, or a 4.75Gen which would be a new gen for fighter, so i dunno where to place it really. |

OOC: well, after looking around on the interwebs, it seems to me that the Shinshin is the codename for the F-3. If that is so, then i've wasted a lot of time on this -.- http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=142675 http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91190 Edited by Japan, Nov 4 2008, 10:04 PM.

Yes.... well, that's enough proof for me -.- Anyone also have any thoughts about that F-36 design that was there? to me, it looks a lot like a single engine version on the YF-23... |
