Nici prea mic dar nici prea mare.
The new Romanian jet trainer will be designed to have the following main items. Tricycle landing gear, crew: 2 pilots (student and instructor), in tandem.
Weight: empty: 5800-6000 kg, maximum take-off mass: 10000 kg
Loading on the wing, max: 890 kg/m2Main expected performance: speed (sea level) = 1300 km/h, speed at 9000m = 1500 km/h – Rate of climb: 30 m/s
– Ceiling max: 15000 m
– Flight duration: 4 h, with external drop tanks– Ferry range: 4000 Km, with external drop tanks.
Avionics and embedded systems will have a modular architecture based on the MIL-STD-1553B (dual redundant digital databus), which has the capability for additional systems and stored/calculated management data can be displayed on any of the cabin MFDs.
The radar will be modern, NATO-compatible, operational day and night in any weather conditions.
Flight Control System (FCS) will be digital and multi-redundant Fly-by-Wire (FBWS)
Integrated Navigation System (INS) will be an inertial navigation system with a laser gyroscope with a built-in GPS receiver and will include omni-directional tactical aerial navigation.
The communication system will have a pair of transmitters/receivers and a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS).
The cabin will be “Glass cockpit”, full digital cabin, open architecture computers and on-board simulation systems.
The Arms Management System’s presentation/display and control functions use any of the MFDs in both pilot cabs. HOTAS (Hands-on throttle and stick) controls are used to select weapons, and weapon delivery is controlled by the central processor, the required data being presented to the pilots via HUD or the helmet-mounted display (HMD), and MFD
The aircraft will be equipped with a cannon and air-to-air missiles, guided missiles, bombs and a self-defense system.
The aircraft will have 7-9 pilons for additional fuel tanks and armament: guided missiles, bombs and a self-defense system.
