ANGEL AIRCRAFT

BLUEPRINT & CUTAWAYS

 

TECHNICAL DATA :

1.      Nose probe contains sensor devices; wind speed, gust detectors, skin temperature etc. The fins give stability and prevent nose drop at supersonic speeds.

2.      Cannon firing a variety of ammunition.

3.      Battery of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.

4.      Electronics bay.

5.      Starboard air intake

6.      Port jet engine

7.      Cabin pressurisation nitrogen cylinder. (Lox stored below electronics).

8.      Starboard engine multi-stage compressors.

9.      Combustion chamber.

10. Main inboard fuel tank.

11. Wing brace housing.

12. Starboard wing fuel tanks.

  1. Double slits in lower tail serve reheat air.

  2. Bled air from turbine used for deflector braking.

  3. Control run to tail.

  4. Reheat ring.

  5. Starboard aileron.

  6. retro rocket for emergency braking (in place of parachute braking).

  7. Gun sight grouping.

  8. Radio and cabin air control mounted on side of cockpit.

  9. Control panel and column.

  10. Starboard engine gauges.

  11. Flight computer.

  12. Canopy jacks.

 

COCKPIT:

Incredibly compact. Entry is by means of floor at (1), pilot is ejected into cockpit complete with seat. At (2) is a neat gun sight grouping.

 

 

NOSE PROBE:

Houses the hyper-sensitive instrument panel; i.e. air temperature, skin temperature, wind speeds, gust detectors, radar and radio aerials, etc. The two small stabilisers on each side are designed to gives steadiness at high speeds, preventing nose dip when full throttle is applied suddenly.

 

 

 

TAIL ASSEMBLY:

Is an unusual design. (1) Twin turbo-jet compressors (one each side of fuselage) serve the rear-mounted ramjet (2). Bled air serves the pitch-jets (3) which give control at high (supersonic) speeds in rarefied air and are also used for Cloudbase landing manoeuvres. For normal landing or reducing air speed quickly, bled air is used as braking jets (4), whilst in case of emergency a small but powerful retro rocket (5) can be brought into play. The lower double slit supplies booster reheat warm air.

 

 

ARMEMENTS:

Main cannon (1) fires a variety of ammo, - tracer, armour-piercing, rocket shells, etc. At (2) a battery of air-to-air/air-to-ground missiles.
