Concept for Transcendence
高速・高々度を極めて到達した異形の造形美。禍々しくもエレガントなA-12系の機体ですが、離陸24時間前から準備作業を必要とし、地上では燃料滲出、潤滑材は常温で固体、搭乗員は要純酸素順化、厳しいG制限・・・極めて制約の多い運用は宇宙船並ですね。本機では更に偵察ドローンを背負式に搭載、増大した抗力に対しては搭載機ラムジェットを起動し三発で飛翔、超音速でこれを射出するという狂気システムでした。
Concept for Transcendence
An uniquely strange design beauty achieved through high speed and high altitude.
An ominously elegant A-12 series aircraft, however, the takeoff requires preparation work starting 24 hours before, and on the ground, there is fuel leakage, the lubricant solidifies at room temperature, and crew members require pure oxygen conditioning due to strict G limits・・・The operation is heavily restricted, almost like a spacecraft.
The aircraft also carried a reconnaissance drone on its back, and in response to increased drag, the on-board ramjet was activated to fly with three shots, ejecting the drone at supersonic speed in a system of pure madness.
