Description
The CFA-44 Nosferatu was a fictional jet fighter that made its first appearance in the game Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for the Xbox 360 in the year 2007. It is a fast and agile carrier-capable stealth aircraft that packs some serious weaponry including the All Directional Multi-purpose Missiles (ADMMs) and Electromagnetic Launchers (EMLs). Its advanced electronic systems allow the craft to control several UAVs simultaneously. The CFA-44's design consists of a delta-wing configuration with slats, outer-canted tails, canards and paddles that direct the exhaust gases, thus giving the aircraft thrust vectoring capabilities which makes it extremely unstable and agile. Perhaps even more unique than its surface controls are the placement of the weapons bays that hold the special weapons. The Nosferatu has three of them, one in the ventral section of the aircraft between the two air intakes and two weapons bays on the upper part of the fuselage. These weapons bays actually protrude out of the aircraft and once that happens it is possible to see the ADMM holders, Electromagnetic Launchers and ECM pods. As for the standard missiles, there are actually two hardpoints under each wing but in the games only 1 hardpoint under each wing is used, to complete its armament the two cannons of the Nosferatu are placed on the wing roots and remain hidden until the gun is activated. Given that this aircraft was meant to be operated from aircraft carriers, an arrestor hook is included and its wingtips can be folded to save deck space. The CFA-44 Nosferatu can fire 18 salvos of ADMM, each consisting of 12 fast and powerful missiles that can target up to 12 air or ground targets simultaneously. The next weapons are the Electromagnetic Launchers mounted on each side of the aircraft, the EMLs are basically mini-railguns mounted on the aircraft for long-range engagements. Lastly, the Nosferatu can be equipped with ECM pods that can neutralize incoming enemy missiles.
