The Easun Industria J57 Ajutánt (Carlosian: adjutant) is a tilt-jet light gunship and reconnaissance aircraft in limited service with the Carlosian Army. It evolved from test beds for tilt-jet technology as part of the design phase of a medium gunship, the J54 Alacran. It is a much cheaper, nimbler complement to the J52 Arcángel.
Development
Design
General configuration
The tail section can be folded inwards for compact storage. The aircraft's extremely small dimensions mean up to six can be carried by a M39 Rénanin transport plane, and it is intended to be dropped into combat zones, with capacity for a drogue parachute to stabilise it's descent.
Armament
The J57 Ajutánt is armed with dual two-barrelled 20 mm autocannons. Each gun weighs 71 kg, with capacity for five-hundred 20 mm rounds each. Each high-explosive incendiary (HEI) round weighs approximately 100 grammes. The autocannons can switch between automatic; in which case it has a maximum rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, semi-automatic and burst-fire modes. They also have a limited ability to traverse vertically.
On the underside of the aircraft are two internal weapons bays. Each bay has room for four S854 Acechar multi-purpose missiles for a total of eight.
