Description Falcon-One's newest bird of prey!

The final variant of the IFX-45, the IFX-45R Advance (Super) Aquila. The IFX-45R variant is slight larger and more stealthier than its predecessor [link] .

The IFX-45R features a new full-panel-width "panoramic cockpit display" (PCD) glass cockpit including a cockpit speech-recognition system (Direct Voice Input), and a helmet-mounted display system (HMDS).

The all-view on board camera with night vision installed on the nose (with "eye" cover if not used) similar to IFX-35 Cygnus, and on board artificial intellegent system an excellent view for situation awareness on dogfight scenario, and full-recon mission.

You certainly know your shit on aircraft, how would a three-dimensional thrust-vectored turbofan reach Mach 5+ though?

Massive engine power output each, and very classified newest technology!

I just researched, I don't think 550 kN are reachable by turbofan engines, even if the thrust-vectoring can create a 'faster brief angular velocity'. You would have to use SCRAMjets, and even then their dry thrust is 350 kN. I mean, don't get me wrong because it's science fiction, I'm basing on real life science and examples. The F-35 's engine maximum thrust was 182 kN. Regardless, I'm not here to start a flame war debate and am trying to be as constructive and as civil as possible in this debate. Then again I know it's sci-fi.
