You may have noticed that I tend not to call aircraft 'airplanes,' for some reason that word fails to grasp what exactly an aircraft is and does. An aircraft is a craft made for the air, that makes sense. So where the heck did 'airplane' come from? What is that supposed to mean? Something that treats the air as a plane? That sounds dumb. Well, anyways this page is for the aircraft I make up. I hope to be an aeronautical engineer one day and so I try to make these are realistic and feasible as possible. The Birth of The Fluffy Kitty This started as the drawing of a kitten. But such cuteness deserved something equally evil. Guns, turrets, and big missles just kept being added. I also made it as a succesor to the A-10 Thunderbolt II which is sadly being discontinued soon. What was the Air Force thinking? Medium: Pen and crayola marker, this was only a quick picture. The flyable, undieable Fluffy Kitty The more realistic Fluffy Kitty. It features a six-bore 35mm cannon, even more powerful that the A-10's. It has eight pylons (two under the fuelselage) two are shown with maverick missles. One is shown with TOW missiles. The pilot is encased in a titanium shell along with carbon/titanium composites that dissipate and spread the blow of an impact. Most of the airplane is made of these composites that allow it to be lighter and more maneaverable than the A-10 but just as protected. The best part of the fluffy kitty is its hovering capacity. A turbofan engine in the front works with the two pivoting engines in the back to allow the fluffy kitty to hover for short peiods. If anything happens the fluffy kitty can fly with only one main engine, all its computers gone, half the tail shot off, and the entire thing riddled through with holes. Medium: Pencil and a computer program known as Pixia. F-32 Kestrel An all purpose attack jet. The Kestrel is not the best fighter jet, but for a cheap price (1.1 million U.S. dollars) it offers adaptable, excellent service, similar to the modern F-16 falcon. The Kestrel is extremely agile due to its swept forward wings and simple yet effective thrust vectoring system. A radar reflecting profile and strategically replaced RAM render it nearly invisible to radar. A carrier based version is in production and ground attack Kestrels with stealthy hardpoints that cover bombs have already proven effective. Medium: Ink, Prismacolor markers, and a computer program known as Pixia. |
