How the VANDAL program produced interesting planes and the V-3 Rocket Bomber

Early on, while still living in US, King Yarl realized he wanted the government he would install to have independent military, and the defense provided by its own naval and air forces. He signed a special Joint Defense Development Agreement, in addition to the Mutual Defense Coordination Agreement (which provides the island's military with access to US military proving grounds, while alleviating the US defense effort from having to patrol the US shores allowing it to pursue its overseas policies, among other reciprocal not-in-kind favors)

VANDAL is an acronym that is classified (V... Army-Navy-Defense Advanced L...?). According to the guidelines of the program, King Yarl obtained licenses and bought functioning models of ships and aircraft for further development, developing them into lengthened, plasma-powered craft.

Among A-5A Vigilante and XB-70 Valkyrie, King also obtained the only prototype of the bomber whose designs the Soviet Union stole to build their Tu-22 Blinder bomber. King Yarl's Experimental Aircraft Design Institute, on his own turf of Kingstad, the world's most populated and secretive Area 51, produced a midsized VANDAL Rocket V3 bomber. Most likely a nod to Germany's V-2 rocket.

Turbocharged fanprop

The unique turbofan prop engine illustrated below is a product of King Yarl's incessant work on many projects. The projects always overlapped. The King also saw the engine applied in his country's own aircraft designed from scratch. (Unlike the Vandal aircraft, which use structural concepts developed jointly with US manufacturers) These indigenous aircraft comprised unusually fast and maneuverable Coast Guard patrol-gunship planes, a large attack gunship plane and a utility heavy lifter plane.

The engines are unique because they preserve efficiency of a turboprop at any speed and altitude, allowing for controlling individual speeds of turbines, propellers, and propeller pitch. Another unique feature of the engine is having an equivalent of a turbocharger and a variable afterburner.

Combat aircraft procurement with Air and Naval aviation

The national defense has developed all of its aircraft jointly with the US DOD, according to the Joint Defense Development Agreement. Vandal project aircraft were totally re-engined for entirely different propulsion system, and lengthened to accommodate heavier weapon loads, and higher capacity tanks for containing noble gas.

Conventional jet propelled aircraft were mostly derived from US DOD canceled aircraft.

		MHD	propulsion	Jet	propulsiuon
		Air Force	Navy	Air Force	Navy
Vandal A-12	attack, bomber	YES
Vandal SR-71	recon, bomber	YES
Vandal T-22	bomber, attack	YES
Vandal F-111	attack, bomber	YES	YES
Vandal XB-70	bomber	YES
Vandal F-104	fighter		YES
Vandal A-5A	fighter, attack		YES
F-4MGN Magnum	fighter, attack				YES
F-17F-Fiend	fighter				YES
F-23BGN-Fury	fighter			YES
F-29-Fang	fighter			YES

The MHD-plasma propulsion is used mainly in the heavier, longer bomber aircraft F-111, F-104 and A-5 are heavy attack planes, which can also serve as bombers, and are the only MHD aircraft procured by the Navy.

The Navy uses two conventionally powered craft in the general fighter role, F-4 Magnum and F-17F Fiend.

The Air Force acquired different aircraft with conventional propulsion, F-23 Fury and F-20 Fang. These aircraft are usually deployed overseas. The Air Force has stopped using these aircraft for home and coast patrol, relegating the duty to the purpose-built turboprop aircraft developed independently of the US DOD.

The Air Force does not have any conventionally powered bombers. All its bombers are MHD powered, and are deployed at home and in Belize, as part of a program to deter any threats from Cuba.
