After a long period of development, Potat Industries Inc. present to you the PI-JF-Salamander-Mk2

Description

Due to development in fighter technology and demand from the Salamander Mk1 users, Potat Industries Inc. started the development of the Salamander Mk2 under the Project Green Scales.
The main requirements for the Project Green Scales were the following
-Super sonic capabilities
-Great manoeuvrability
-Increased payload compared to the Salamander Mk1
-Carrier capabilities
-Longer range
-Improved avionics

It was chosen to use variable geometry relatively early in the design process to reduce drag and help with the super sonic capabilities. Although it doesn't have a high impact on this aspect of the craft, it was chosen to keep it to help with the Carrier capabilities. A refuelling probe was added and the external fuel tanks were made bigger to extend range.

As a way to shorten the development time of any future variant or for the sake of research, 20 extra airframes were built and are being kept at various R&D test sites. No project involving these airframes have been started.

Technical Details 

The Salamander is equipped with 4 PI-MAM-Eland-Mk1, 6 PI-MAS-Bison-Mk2, 4 PI-MAF-Bull-Mk1 and 6 PI-MMH-Buffalo-Mk2
