        It's meant to be a heavy escort (think defiant in star trek).
        I put the stats up for it ages ago, but since we've been using sketchup I'd thought I'd have a go.

          B- 401 Hyperspace capable Heavy Bomber (Thunderhawk)

          lenght - 90m
          wingspan - 75m (40m folded)
          fuselarge beam - 10m
          fuselarge height - 8m
          total height - 20m

          playload and weapons

          Up to 120,000,000 kg of ordance/cargo can be carried in 3 presurised cargo bays.This can include nukes,ungided rockets, smart and dumb bombs,fuel tanks, cruise missiles ,cluster bombs and air to air missiles(amraam ,asramm, sidewinder) .7 25 mm 6-barreled vulcan cannons ciws system are carried each with 4,000 rounds to be used in selfdefense against gliders/dartsthey are positioned 2 under wing tips,1 under/1 over tail, 2 on dorsal centerline and 1 under nose cone.they have interlocking fields of fire and are controled by a onboard computer reciving data from the large Awac style radar and numerous IR sensors.it's avionics allow it to carry sidewinder, asramm, amramm, or even pheonix missiles. the B-401 can also act as a mother ship for up to 4 predator UAVs controled from the CIC. The bomber can also act as a landing craft with similar transport capicty as a c-5 galaxy.


          The Thunderhawk is crewed by a pilot,copilot, navigator, offensive weapons operator, defensive weapons officer, 6 sensor specilists, 2 mechanics,3 comm officers.

          The bomber is powered by 6 ion engines in wing roots, 1 short/medium range hyperdrive, anti grav drive (similar to drive of alkesh), 16 batteries of 6 cold gas manovering jets(for use in space/ in a hover) strategicly placed, and 1 mark 2 naquida generator for internal power/hyperdrive

          And is protected by between 0.1 and 2 inch titanium/carbon armour with internal honey combing and cross bracing, basic low power shields(useful aginst dart weapons, glider cannons), full ecm suite. It also sports a Detachable escape compartment with life support and limited thrusters for use in a emergency

          THE CIC
          what realy make the bomber so effective is the combat infomation centre.It is used to gather intel and to act as a mobile command centre of fighter wings.To this end the bomber carries a full Awac style radar, a recon and intel suite from a Rc-135 and long range comms system.the centre is locate aft of the flightdeck and crew quaters in the wing roots. aft of the cic is a small cargo hold that can hold a set of rings.

          History

          the 401 project was first started after the SGC's first contact with the Alkesh type bomber.after 8 years ,4 different prototypes, and $4 billion(equiv) the project spawened the thunderhawk.the project was started in area 51 but transfered to a top secret airforce base in germany after Britian,france and germany started complaining that they stood idle on the side lines for to long. After ripping 3 damaged alkesh to pieces tro analisie in the scientists and engeinners from the 3 countries manage to perfect the antigrav tech used to keep the massive thundewhawk airborn.the first prototype was tested for 12 months both on earth, in space and in the atmosphere on mars.but conflict with the Ori hastened the production schedule forward 18 months. the first thunderhawk was used as a troop transport before it was fully completed . The bomber flew two stingray light tanks and 300 marines to a planet to assist the reble jaffa uprising with the mechanics still trying to get the ciws system and cic radar working.The next 4 formed the 1 heavy bomber wing in september 2009.the next 4 were stationed in pegusus as the 2 heavy bomber squdron.By 2011 19 thunderhawks were in operation with 5 already lost ( 2 to accidents, 2 to weapons fire and 1 MIA during a hyperspace jump).The thunderhawks have proven to be reliable, manoverable, and in alot of cases nearly indestructable.they also have accumulated 4 major kills( 1 hive ship and 3 hatakks) along with 2 wraith cruiser kills and 56 fighter kills in 3 years.they have also been used as troop/ logistic/ evacuation transports and as tankers for the F-302's.

            Redid the turrets and engines on my naglfar class. I know the turrets aren't that great, but I like them better than the other ones I had. I'm gonna do the Columbia this weekend when I'm outta school.

                  He asked if I cared if he made a model of it in max. So I said go ahead. And he ended up doing this extremely cool model. And he's still detailing it. Its so awesome.

                        The Asgard package

                        Propulsion
                        8 Daedalus class sub light engines
                        1 large sub light engine (its twice as large as the largest engine on the Daedalus)

                        Valor class Designed as a First strike and First response assault ship. Due to the ever increasing threat of the wraith and asuranes in the Pegasus galaxy. After the loses of the Orin and Hive ship the IOA saw it fit to contract a new ship how ever the us had acquired the blueprints to build there own with the power, speed to take on multiple hive ships and survive. The first of the IOA’s new Unity class was destroyed by the trust before it could be completed. How ever the first of US ‘new Valor class the USS Valor was field tested against a small fleet of Baal’s forces, the Valor destroyed all eight Ha’tacks with out taking any serious damage (mostly superficial). After this shake down run the Valor was sent to Atlantis to protect it while the Daedalus underwent major repairs. Unfortunately the Valor had one major draw back that the Unity did not have was that the two massive blind spots under the neck of the ship due to the mass drivers, and the rear of the ship. To compensate the air wing was increased. On its first mission in Pegasus the U.S.S. Valor went up against five hive ships, The Valor taking out two the Valor and Daedalus taking one out together and the Daedalus immobilizing the last with out the Valor to take out two of the hives would have left the Daedalus as space junk. This first engagement earned it the nick name Hive Masher. A few months into active duty of the Valor, it was recalled to Earth to be refitted with a reverse engineered “Death Ray” originally designed by Dr. Irving Thatcher from Global Dynamics Section Five, Along with a Hologram projection system designed by Henry Deacon for navigation, radar, Commander’s display, Recon, medical bays, and other tactical operations. The U.S.S. Valor and following Valor Class ships would become familiar with technology from Global Dynamics and the town of Eureka. Shortly after this refit the U.S.S. Valor took on and destroyed an Asuran war ship with its “Death Ray” proving that not only is the Valor Class Powerful but versatile. The second and third ships in the Valor Class are Honor and the Defiant.

                          Managed to start the Columbia. It's gonna be different from the drawing in some ways because there's some stuff I can't do or wanna change. So how's it look?

                          Comment


                            I think the bays need to be longer and wider

                                wow guys all your 3d models look great, i'm currently resdesigning the Cerberus to look more asgardian, when completed it's going to look slightly similar to immhotep's leviathon in it's general shape...
                                Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
