Stealth Plane v1.0 (TL 9) Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer The plane that doesn't exist, for missions that didn't happen. It is as stealthy as you can get and perhaps small enough to deny any knowledge. The light plane is build around two seats. It has a 4-mile thermograph and an ALLTV to look around. Nav gear are GPS, terrain-following radars and an INS. Two midgetcomps help with navigation and sensor interpretation. The plane has a range of 4,320 miles on a single tank (that gives 480 mpg). It needs 49 feet of runway for takeoff and 30 feet for touchdown. The plane uses TL09 tech [Dec. 93 errata sheet]. Structure: 80 cf advanced XL body (HT 63), maximum load 1,200 lbs., seal, three retractable wheels (DR 2, HT 4/7), two folding sailplane wings with canards (HT 32) and advanced controls. Propulsion: 30 KW ducted fan. Power: 30 KW fuel cell (DR 5, HT 8) with 9 gallons hydrogen (self-sealing, DR 5, HT 8, fire on 10) for 30h. Accomodations: Two light seats, no windows. Crew Requirements: Pilot. Armor: 40 points adv. armor, F3/5 B3/5 R3/5 L3/5 T3/5 U3/5 RW3/5 LW3/5. Cargo: None, but 1.2 cf waste space. Accessories: Instant chameleon surface, environmental controls, improved IR cloaking, laser sensors, radar locator, light deceptive jammer (jam 8, DR 3, HT 4, electronics), improved sound baffling, radical stealth, short-range thermograph (scan 18, DR 3, HT 2, electronics), ALLTV (+6), two HUDWAC with virtual panorama, two optical midgetcomps (C3, DR 3, HT 2, electronics), INS (DR 3, HT 6, electronics), GPS, two secure tactical radios, two IFF, two terrain-following radars. Programs: Database (0.925 GB maps), datalink, sensor operation (C3, skill 15 or +4), routine vehicle operation (skill 13). Statistics: Cost $400,000, design mass 400 lbs., max. payload 800 lbs., current load 400 lbs., loaded mass 0.4t, size modifier +2 (-1/-4 to spot), radar signature -8 (-16 if jamming), IR signature -5, acoustic signature -5.
