Look up the Scorpion aircraft. I've been working on that program for 5 years now. I'm the lead experimental mechanic. I had my doubts about the durability at first but we can turn this baby 5 times a day (more if we had more pilots). The only thing that breaks is worn out tires. We just got back from White Sands OA-X "experiment" and the USAF evaluator was bitching cause we had zero maintenance actions in 20 weapons deployment flights (code 1). We are still in developmental flight expansion. Ultimately we are looking at 450+kts +8 -4g, 46agl. MX25 ball, Hemix and all the bells/whistles. It's not an A10 replacement but it'll do till that contract is released by DOD.
