HAD S39 Viper
In a new age of warfare and prevention of warfare, from sea based carriers to land based airstrips and beyond, HAD proudly announces it's S39 Viper as an alternative to other aerospace weaponry.
A 4.5 generation multi-role fighter aircraft, it is powered by the Aero F414G, a development from the study of an aquired F/A-18E/F Super Hornet's engine. The engine has 20% more thrust at 98 kN (22,000 lb), enabling a supercruise speed of Mach 1.1 with air-to-air missiles, though it can also carry air-to-surface weapons as well.
Compared to the S38 Cobra, the S39 Viper's max takeoff weight has increased from 14,000 to 16,000 kg (30,900-35,300 lb) with an increase in empty weight of 200 kg (440 lb). Due to relocated main landing gear, the internal fuel capacity has increased by 40%, which will increase ferry range to 4,070 km (2,200 nmi). The new undercarriage configuration also allows for the addition of two heavy stores pylons to the fuselage. Its PS-05/A sensor adds a new active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna to it's resources for detecting hostile threats.
The canard configuration gives a high onset of pitch rate and low drag, enabling the aircraft to be faster, have longer range and carry a larger payload.
The combination of delta wing and canards gives the S39 significantly better takeoff and landing performance and flying characteristics. The totally integrated avionics make it a "programmable" aircraft. It also has a built-in electronic warfare unit, making it possible to load more ordnance onto the aircraft without losing self defence capabilities.
