Fighter-Bombers
⦿ F/B-4 Phantom III Fighter Bomber
The F/B-4 Phantom III Matches or exceeds the F-4-2000 SuperPhantom (Israeli phantom which equaled the F/A-18) in air to air capability and doubles the bomb carrying load of the original F-4s. It can carry a full air-to air load of 12 Anti-aircraft missiles plus its full bomb load. 4 AIM-120s can be removed and replaced with more bombs! Even with a full weapons load this aircraft can travel over mach 2 and out maneuver many Vietnam era soviet fighters and attack aircraft. The Phantom III fills a gap in aircraft that has been left between the FB-111 medium fighter bomber and the F-117A. Providing a heavier bomber which is more air-to-air capable. Many airframe improvements have been completed as has the additon of a bomb bay in the centerline of the fuselage, reducing radar cross section.A phased array radar, new FLIR systems and new counter measures have also been added. The Phantom also has in-flight re-fuel capability and is fully carrier capable. This aircraft has been in development since the founding of Phoenix Dynamix and is finally available to own!!!

⦿ F/B-8X SpartaN and UB-8E Trojan Dual-Role Fighter-Bomber and UCAV
Phoenix Dynamix has revamped the F/B-8 Spartan(which was a high speed Fighter Bomber developed by Phoenix Dynamix to replace the aging F-111 Aardvark/Raven) and increased its stealthiness by adding a new RAM coating and other avionics and systems to make it viable for years to come. Also a new unmanned variant has been designed. It lacks the 25mm cannon but holds 2 extra missiles and can preform high angle maneuvers with ease. Also it should be noted that this aircraft can be controlled from a manned F/B-8X or a ground station.

⦿ A-12 Avenger II Joint Tactical Bomber
The A-12 Avenger II, aka EA-220 is the result of a long multinational development program and is probably the best aircraft in its class. Nations were handpicked by the Elias Ministry of Defence Procurement and Export due to their expertise in various areas of design and construction and so the quality and reliability of the design is obviously of the highest possible degree.
The aircraft itself is designed to provide Carrier Battle groups or Air Force Strike wings with an unrepresented ability to penetrate enemy air space and delver large amounts of ordnance accurately while being able to escape due to stealth technology, countermeasures and capacity for air to air weapons. The other main consideration was that the aircraft had to be flexible as nations all use different weapons and have different requirements; this goal has been achieved mostly due to the open architecture computer systems developed by Crookfur.
Elias Aerospace along with its partners without which this plane would never have come into existence are extremely proud of this new design that took much time and money to develop although the rewards in capability are most worth it.
Project Partners
United Elias: Design, Final Assembly, Flight testing, Powerplants, project management: 35%
Dark Terror: Wing/Fuselage assembly: 20%
Crookfur: Cockpit systems, flight control systems, countermeasures, weapons delivery systems and any other avionics not previously mentioned: 20%
Phoenix Militia: RAM coatings, Internal Weapons bays: 15%
Ferrussia: Ejection seats, fuel system: 5%
Omz222: control surfaces, landing/arresting gear: 5%
With the disestablishment of United Elias, Dark Terror, and other minor partners as well as loss of interest by Crookfur, Phoenix Dynamix is the sole producer of the A-12 today.
Design and Structure
The wings and fuselage are made of composite materials and covered with Radar Absorbent Materials (RAM). This along with its shape makes the Avenger and aircraft with low-observability.
The A-12 delta-wing design, without getting into too much aerodynamics here, is what is known as a lightly loaded wing. Such a design offers some unique challenges in handling the flight control system and making it adaptive to the environment that the EA-220 is designed to be in, which is a very low-altitude, high-speed state as it penetrates enemy defenses.
The wing area of the A-12 is 1309 ft. sq., more than twice as large as the A-6's wing area. Flying wings generally have a large wing area in order to compensate for their lower lift capabilities. The wingspan of the A-12 is 70 feet, 3.2 inches and it is 37 feet, 3 inches long.
The A-12 has a straight trailing edge. Along the trailing edge are pairs of evelons at each wingtip and pairs of spoilers forward of them. A pitch flap is located in the center, above the engine exhaust area. Yaw control is designed to be provided by differential drag at the wingtips. All flight controls are integrated in a quadruple redundant fly by light control system.
The A-12 uses reinforced titanium alloy landing gear and on the carrier version full arresting gear, which has been fully tested for durability and fatigue
Cockpit:
The A-12 Features 5 Multiple Multifunction displays in both pilot and WSO stations showing complete tactical data, conventional glass dial back ups in case of electronic systems failure. Standard HUD systems and controls
Navigation:
Laser ring gyro Inertial navigation system, open architecture satellite system (since there are numerous NS GPS systems), radio compass ability, full terrain following autopilot with terrain avoidance system for low level flight.
Weapons Bay
The main bay has an 8 panel retracting door with a split in the middle. Electronic servo motors provide quick opening and closing of the main bay. Should electronics fail for whatever reason a hydraulic system opens the doors at a slightly slower pace. Whether they are open or closed the main bay doors do not protrude from the fuselage.
Powerplant
The A-12 features 2 engines. Phoenix Dynamix has re-manufactured The Elias original EPE-136M2 turbofan engine which was made specifically for the A-12, and produced 18,230lb of thrust as the PD-136M6 which each produce 19,000lbs of thrust
In-flight refueling:
The A-12 has both hose-and-drogue as well as boom in flight re-fueling capabilities.
Ejector seats:
The A-12 features an Automatic Personnel Ejection System (APES) which ejects the pilot clear of the aircraft in approximately 0.225 seconds from activation.
