iPad missing, dozens must wait for new Argo's End chapter. 
          
          
          He stopped and turned as he heard Ark Royal go silent, the air rumbling as a flash of grey/gray zipped above them, creating a sonic boom that seemed to have paralyzed her. 
          He escapes in the meantime.

Unveiled at the 2018 North American Aerospace Defense Expo in the Javits Center, NYC, the SFN28 is a 5th Generation stealth BVR missile carrier. Slower and less maneuverable than it’s predecessor, the SFN26, it excels at it’s job of shooting down targets from over 50 miles away. That’s farther than Rhode Island is long, north to south! 
          
          Carrying 12 AIM-120J air-to-air missiles, with up to an extra 16 AIM-120s or AIM-9s, or 32 SPEAR air-to-surface missiles in 4 concealed missile carriers (think 8AAMs from Ace Combat 7, but not infinite), the SFN28 is in no way whatsoever a dogfighting aircraft, and therefore has no guns. Weighing in at 42,000 pounds weapons and fuel empty, 47,000 weapons loaded with 5 minutes of fuel, 50,000 fully loaded with fuel and internal bay loaded, and 58,100 loaded with 12 AIM-120Js and 32 Spear 2s. 
          
          With two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-150 turbofans creating up to 30,000 pounds of thrust each, the SFN28 is running a thrust-to-weight of 1.42 empty, and 1.03 fully loaded, letting it pull off post-stall maneuvers. Because of this, a modified version of the SFN28 with it’s wings clipped is used by the Thetean Navy for airshows. 
          
          This plane is 72 feet long, has a wingspan of 37 feet, and is 7 feet tall. The wing shape is (like it’s predecessor) a cropped delta. There are 2 rudders, and the intake is round along the bottom of the fuselage, sectioned in 3 places, before filtering into just 2.
