This aircraft is designed as a super vtol medium lift. In the class of UH-60 Blackhawk's and extensively superior to the Sikorsky V-280 (320mph top speed), except in military configuration double the capacity and a smaller footprint and substantially heavier lift capabilities, along with a split rear payload door.

 

Control surface on the wings are not hinged, but wing warping surfaces with precision control, allowing for advanced flow of the air stream for optimized performance.

 

The entire airframe for this aircraft is produced using GRAPHENE and composites with an overall 33X greater strength then titanium but 1/100th the weight, it is also bulletproof through 20mm. The entire airframe stripped, could be lift by hand from 1 person.

 

Overall, the aircraft weight fueled, is less then a UH-60 empty.

 

Propulsion for Chippewa SC are via twin U-GTG turbines, which are unified gas turbine generators. These engines, the core of the turbine assembly are super conducting graphene based generators, which for this aircraft would have apx 500kw power output each, without any loss of thrust from thr turbine assemblies.

 

The other 6 units, are Graphene based superconducting edf's (electric ducted fans) which are able to provide apx 1:1 thrust compared to turbines (jet engines) of comparable scale.

 

Additionally, The propulsion system comes equipped with Io Aircraft's own high performance vtol capabilities via rotating composite nozzles. It should be noted, Lockheed Martin did not invent rotating nozzles, their own for the F-35 are their own style, but the technology was actually originally developed for the soviet era Yak-141. We have developed our own style using that as a baseline principle. The main difference is these are much higher technology levels, and high speed capabilities.

 

Turbines can operate on Compressed Hydrogen or Kero, or a combine of both simultaneously. This results in either very long range capabilities, or mission specific.

 

Additionally, this aircraft is aerial refueling equipped, but integration for both basket and probe type refueling capabilities are built in, for total inter service and nato operations globally. No variation is then required.

 

Performance of Chippewa SC is extreme, and is able to match the UH-60 Blackhawk capabilities in both slow flight and hover.

 

This includes radical maneuvering
