The DFQE DFAL FA/X-14 is a highly capable multirole aircraft inspired by the legendary F-14 Tomcat, designed for versatility in air combat and strike missions for both the DFQE Airforces and Navy. Here is a breakdown of its features and specifications:

Weapons:

• 1x M-61 Vulcan: A 20mm rotary cannon, known for its high rate of fire and use in dogfights.
• 4x AIM-9X Sidewinder: Advanced short-range infrared homing air-to-air missiles, effective in dogfights and close encounters.
• 4x AGM-65 Maverick: Precision air-to-surface tactical missiles, ideal for ground attack and anti-armor missions.
• 2x GBU-BIG: A fictional heavy guided bomb for large-scale strikes, potentially representing a massive payload capable of dealing with fortified targets.

General Characteristics:

• Predecessor: Hellkeska (fictional predecessor).
• Wingspan: 41.6 ft (12.7 m) – Reflects the sweep-wing design, which could vary the wingspan depending on flight conditions.
• Length: 44.6 ft (13.6 m) – Slightly longer, providing stability and room for advanced avionics and weapons.
• Height: 14.6 ft (4.5 m) – Similar in size to the original F-14, allowing compatibility with carriers.
• Empty Weight: 17,631 lbs (7,997 kg) – Relatively lightweight given its multirole capabilities.
• Loaded Weight: 24,740 lbs (11,222 kg) – Shows the aircraft’s ability to carry a significant payload while maintaining agility.

Performance:

• Power/Weight Ratio: 2.725 – Implies high thrust-to-weight, which allows for rapid acceleration, climb, and combat agility, making it a superior performer in air combat.
• Wing Loading: 50.7 lbs/ft² (247.5 kg/m²) – Ensures strong lift capabilities even when fully loaded, contributing to maneuverability.
• Wing Area: 488.0 ft² (45.3 m²) – A large wing area assists in providing better lift, useful for both takeoff and dogfighting scenarios.

Performance Cost:

• Drag Points: 3803 – Affects top speed and acceleration, indicating the level of aerodynamic drag in the aircraft's design.
• Number of Parts: 84 – The Simplydity of the design, though with fewer parts compared to highly modular systems.
• Control Surfaces: 6 – Provides fine control over maneuvers, enabling the aircraft to perform advanced aerobatics.

Role & Capabilities:

The DFAL FA/X-14 serves as a multirole fighter capable of air superiority, ground attack, and naval operations, making it the backbone of the DFQE Airforces and Navy. Its powerful engines and versatile weapon loadout make it effective in both dogfights and precision strikes.

Key capabilities include:
- Swept-Wing Design: Allows for variable geometry, improving its performance across different speeds and altitudes, especially during carrier-based operations.
- Advanced Maneuverability: Its high power-to-weight ratio and control surfaces ensure it excels in both air-to-air combat and ground strike missions.
- Versatility: The aircraft can be configured for different mission profiles, from defending the skies to launching precise attacks on ground targets.

This aircraft, with its combination of classic fighter design and modern enhancements, solidifies DFQE’s airpower both on land and at sea.
