MAK - 20 Silent Hunter prototype fighter

11.6k FlyingPotato_131  4.2 years ago

The Silent Hunter was made mostly as a prototype to test out the new Lithium Aerospace supercharged ion engines. The military soon saw interest in the new plane and so began the production of a highly maneuverable and almost completely silent fighter, capable of landing almost everywhere We use supercharged ion engines that are lightweight, efficient, powerful and very quiet, which makes the aircraft hard to notice with heat and sound sensors. The engines also create electromagnetic waves that jam enemy radar, which makes the Silent Hunter a stealth aircraft as well. When put into production as a fighter, the Silent Hunter was equipped with 2 powerful railguns (one shots the USS Beast) and 2 NCDM missiles, which are capable of destroying almost any air target. The aerodynamic capabilities along with its armament make the Silent Hunter a dangerous foe to heavy bombers and light interceptors alike.
