Airship-Based Modern Parasite Fighter Question

20.4k LieutenantSOT  3.1 years ago

Okay... so after I finish my collab I want to start on an airship.
Now, the THI's capital ship is the THA-XZ1 SoL Hypernova
(SoL stands for "Ship of Lightning." I figure saying Sol is a lot easier than saying THA-XZ1 everytime)

Now the Hypernova will have a Radioisotope-Powered Thermonuclear Reactor-Powered Heavy Steam Alternator (RPTRPHSA) engine. This is an experimental engine I hope to make one day. Just picture a massive nuclear reactor that powers batteries and also connects to a giant steam turbine with an axle.
This engine will power the ship, and will also power 4 HUGE contra-rotating variable-pitch propellers (in a diamond shape). It will look like the Hindenburg and the Prydwen mixed together with the carrier like the USS Akron.
It will have 12 hydrogen-based heated chambers for lift (hydrogen can't ignite if it is either pure hydrogen or there is less than 25% oxygen present; either way, a fire control system will be implemented). It will also have 8 hybrid-electric variable direction (forwards, backwards, up, down) propellers on the sides. And then 4 jet engines on the bottom for extra lift. All of which will be powered by the nuclear reactor.

There will be a ground-detection sonar, 5 THA-Y1 Vertibird Light hooks, and then a HUGE bomb bay that can hold cargo, bombs, or 1 or 2 micro-fighters...

So I want you to pic one of the three:

  1. Folding Flying wing
  2. Modern Biplane
  3. Other (State what it is)

    How about a modernized biplane, but it’s wings fold in a similar manner to the Blackburn Ripon biplane. You would have to unfold the wings before you launched though.
