As I recall, there were Heinkel factories being set up in the Philippines. Therefore, since the Filipino air force entries haven't been updated in a coon's age, I'm presuming that the AF has been neglected, but currently operates a few modern types: to wit, the He-112 and A-21 for the AF, and the He-112T, He-115 and something by Martin (:p) for the Navy.

However that leaves a lot of gaps to be filled, and the new Presidente wants them filled ASAP.

To wit, three specifications have been issued as top priorities.

First is a requirement for a Long Range Fighter/Escort. Requirements are:
- Twin engined
- Minimum range 1,500km
- Armament minimum 2 x 20mm and 4 x 12.7mm or equivilant
- Capable of carrying 2 x 100kg bombs minimum.


Second is a requirement for a Long Range Bomber/Patrol Aircraft.. Requirements are:
- Two, three, or four-engined
- Minimum range 2,500km
- Minimum bomload 4 x 500kg bombs over 2,000km


Third is a requirement for...well, frankly, a complete package of carrier aircraft:
- Fighter
- Dive Bomber
- Torpedo Bomber
- Scout

As far as the long range fighter goes, Germany can offer the Fw-187, in service in a number of countries already with a variety of armaments and engines. Easily meets the range requirement, having a range of 1200nm, and the armement requirement, standard armament being 4 15mm and 2 7.92mm MGs. If the Phillipines is interested in a flying boat for its long-range patrol aircraft, Dornier can offer the Do-27. For a landplane, there's the Ju-88.


The US is finishing up development on the P-38, but that aircraft would not meet the Phillipines armament requirements anyway, so the US has no submission for the long-range fighter. Consolidated can enter it's PBY for the patrol aircraft, and the to be available soon B-26 and B-25 would also fit the slot.

Mexico can offer:

Japan's basic Carrier package is available (A5M or A6M, D3A or D3N, B5M or B5N, C5N). Will take a look at some other planes as well once I get back home...

For the long range fighter / escort category the famous DeBroek FD-2 "Hornet"qualifies - there are several MKs available. See the SAE airforce thread for more details.

Regarding that long range recce/bomber plane only the B-14 heavy bomber qualifies (because I have not updated my encyclopedia since 1935 :o( ). But that plane might not be what you are looking for as you also need quite some infrastructure to operate her so the AeroDynamics RBW-14A "Osprey" is offered. She is a smaller bird but is perfectly suited for an environment with thousands of islands and lots of water in between. The version in my encyclopedia is an older one. You can expect an improved version to be in service/available 1937 with more power, range and loads.

FMA sends a glossy brouchure to the Presidente and Air Force chiefs.

*Gives Hrolf the evil eye*

If the Phillipines orders the Fw-187M+, TNCA will throw in a few Fw-187R (recoinassance) in for free...

Also the CAC-11 Strix was a joint project with Heinkel and uses a Heinkel wing.

Do the Phillipines also need any ground-attack aircraft or land based torpedo bombers?

The RBW-12C is also available, sure. Having her first flight in ´32 you can expect all bugs worked out. They are also combat tested. In fact, I´d say there surely is a D or later version available too, probably with more powerful engines (*) and slightly improved stats. However, this plane focuses on economy and endurance, so don´t expect a much higher top speed.


(*) The Rayton Pegasus VII radial engine of 880hp or the LMF 750 VI inline engine of 860hp as in the projected for DeBroek F-3D could be used.

And here's an updated version of the Fw-187 P, using Jumo-211Gs vs the earlier (and ambient pressure cooling loop) Jumo-211s. An alternative armament of 4 20mm Oerlikon FFLs in place of the MG-151s would also be possible

Look at the chinese encyclopedia for the available aircrafts

The Philippines expresses its gratitude for all the submissions. The requirements are now closed, and the contenders will enter the evaulation phase.

The Philippines thanks all competitors for their submissions, and announces that the following competitors have been selected.

For the Long Range Fighter requirement, the Focke-Wulf Fw 187P-6.

For the Long Range Bomber/Patrol requirement, the AeroDynamics RBW-12 Albatros.
In addition, Heinkel is inquired about production of their latest He 111 model in their Filipino factory for a medium range requirement.

For the Carrier requirement, the FMA I-01N, the Nakajima B5N2, and the Aichi D3A are selected.

***

In Addition...

The Philippines requests submissions for three additional requirements.

Very Heavy Bomber

Given that a seaplane was selected for the LRB/P requirement, the specification is split, and a landplane capable of long range and heavy payload is requested.

Requirements for the VHB are:
-Three or more engines.
-Combat radius with bombload of 4 x 500kg bombs, 2500km (2750km preferred).
-Defensive armamament sufficent for a formation of four aircraft to be self-escorting.


Scout/Reconnasiance Aircraft

A requirement for an Army Co-Operation type has been identified.

Requirements for the ACSRA are:
-Ability to take off and land on a 1,320-foot strip over a 25-foot obstacle.
-Loiter time of 250 minutes after a 75-mile flight from the operating location.
-Armament of one forwards-firing and one defensive rifle-calibre machine guns, provision for the carrage internal or external of four 25-kg bombs, and the ability to fire a rifle or grenade launcher aft and astern.


Troop and Cargo Transport/Auxilary Bomber

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Requirements for the TCT/AB are:
-Carriage of 20 equipped troops or 2,500 pounds of cargo.
-Range of 750 miles (1250 preferred).
-Minimum armament of one defensive machine gun.
-Provision for carriage internal or external of 4 x 100kg or 2 x 250kg bombs.
