Production proto-type
The plane in these pictures is air vehicle number 1, a prototype on
board the USS Washington for catapult fit checks. Not yet made public,
the F/A-37 is a Mach 3.5, super cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with a
4000nm range.
Top speed is classified, some where in the Mach 4 plus range. Awesome!
Also, there is no phase interval for this plane. It has a 10,000 hour life
airframe and engines that require replacement only at failure or signs
of trouble.
The squadrons are to be out of Whidbey Island, 12 planes to a command.
