Internal model designation 4F-383
That’s the name I guess. I’m not the best at this I admit.
A little fun project I did a little while back, concept taking inspirations from Northrop-Dornier ND-102: ditch any non-critical (and possibly critical) aerodynamic control surfaces, minimize drag, TVC-based pitch control (Northrop estimates it’ll give ~7G max load factor which imo is sufficient so long as we’re not in high-subsonic. Either lower or higher works), conformal BVRAAM carriage, non-afterburning engines. The idea is to ditch the afterburners by aggressive weight and drag cuts, then benefit from the tighter packaging, lower fuel consumption, better thermal characteristics, etc. The design-phase intent would be to get an effective A2A platform that’s cost-effective and easy to operate & maintain.
And of course during MLU they (I) decided to multi-role the design. Longer nose, AFR, dedicate TGP hardpoint, redesigned vortex generators, wingtip ECM, you get the idea. Problem is imo the extra weight, drag, as well as the pretty uncompromising design philosophy would lead to pretty significant performance drops and make it a usable but not outstanding multirole platform.
Estimated stats (early-life)
Dimensions: 17.06m x 10.00m x 4.53m
OEW: 9095kg+100kg (Pilot, Personal gear)+ 230kg (trapped fuel, oils)+ 120kg (ammo)
Internal fuel: 4200kg
Power plant: 2x non-afterburning PW-1120-adjacent models (72.5kn mil thrust, 1450kg w/ TVC)
Mission TOGW (A2A profile, full internal fuel, 4 BVRAAM, 4 SRAAM): 15070kg
