FlightGlobal bio na testiranju Mwari
Citat:FlightGlobal was recently invited to Paramount’s aircraft production and test facility at Wonderboom National Airport near Pretoria to experience the Mwari’s capabilities firsthand. The Mwari is a light tactical aircraft designed for low-cost, austere field operations. It is a two-seat, tandem cockpit aircraft with a high-wing and twin-boom pusher design. The WSO sits behind the pilot in a stadium-seating arrangement, offering a wide field of view.
Citat:To “finish” the job, for offensive operations, the Mwari can carry a maximum payload of 1,000kg on six external hardpoints, across its NATO-standard 14in racks, an impressive feat for an aircraft with a gross weight of just 4,500kg. The four outboard stations can each carry 280kg of ordnance, while the two inboard stations can each carry up to 300kg of ordnance or external fuel tanks. The aircraft is also capable of carrying a variety of smart weapons, allowing for precise targeting and reduced collateral damage.
While the Mwari does not currently have a visual aiming capability, due to the limited clearance between the canopy and the front cockpit glareshield, however, Paramount is working on integrating smart weapons that can be employed from safer heights and distances from threats, and enabling precise strikes with minimal collateral damage. The aircraft’s internal fuselage mission bay is a testament to its versatility. Capable of carrying various mission-specific pods weighing up to 317kg, this feature allows for rapid reconfiguration to suit different operational needs. The Mwari’s robust electrical system, capable of supplying 400kW of power, ensures that it can support the demands of modern, electronics-intensive warfare.
