DHC F/A-267 Arbiter



Document I: Description


Document I.A: Synopsis

The F/A-267 is a heavy, single-seater multirole stealth fighter developed by DHC for the German Luftwaffe. It is the corporation's ninth aircraft, and it is the product of its own Attack Project Experimental: Stealth [APEx-S]. The APEx-S Program was intended as an experimentation of the DHC with stealth technology for the first time, the Arbiter's airframe shaped to deflect radar waves.


Document I.B: Design

Engines

The Wilhelm VII.ADG engines were used once again on the F/A-267, but due to budget cuts the engine was planned to be replaced by an engine that was slightly less powerful but cheaper. The future engine is under development at the same time as the aircraft to be mounted in future DHC aircraft.

Airframe

The F/A-267 incorporated a cutting edge stealth shape that deflected almost 80% of radar waves that hit it. The
design was also more streamlined than the previous F/A-243 and relatively lighter than its predecessor. Due to extreme heat from airflow friction at its maximum speed at Mach 3.6, the aircraft was coated in numerous dark-colored thermal-absorbent paint coats and added steel plating on the nose cone and leading wing edges.

Radar Systems

The DHC Umgeben.V44 AESA systems were used once again for the F/A-267. For maintenance, the entire hollow nose cone housing the radar suite would be removed from the fuselage. After separating the nose, the suite can be checked and repaired if needed.


Document I.C: Armament

The E6 weapon set was used once again for the Arbiter, and the airframe also introduced a weapon bay and used weapon pods, a first for the Darkhound Corporation. With the space in its fuselage and pods in its wings, the F/A-267 can still pack a lethal attacking force even without the standard pair of A-28DK unguided bombs.


Document I.D: Production

Its stealth technology and breakneck speed that rivaled the Darkhound II made the F/A-267 complete the "Dreifaltigkeit der Stille" [lit. Trinity of Silence], which included the Darkhound II, Richtofen II, and the Arbiter. The three aircraft became the DHC air force's primary air superiority and tactical strike fighters from 2022 to 2063. The nickname it earned from the German Luftwaffe was "Kabale" [lit. Cabal]. The aircraft however was sold in even smaller numbers compared to its predecessor, with only a total of 40 units built, only 5 in current active service in the Luftwaffe.

Thank you for checking out my build! It's got way less parts than my previous builds, so even potato phones can handle this plane. Constructive criticism and build ideas are openly accepted, so if you want consider doing that. Have a nice day/night!
