F-105 Thunderchief

[zenrat]

From a purely aesthetic PoV i'd put TERs on the outboard wing stations.

Maybe that's how I whiff my Hasegawa 105 - subtley.

From a pure aeroelasticity PoV I'll leave you to test-fly that one - thanks...

Unobtanium wing spars.

A turboprop Thunderchief is a brilliant idea that I like.

Would an interceptor variant of the F-105 which removes the internal bomb bay adds a bubble canopy along with a cranked arrow double delta wing with blow flap technology a 360 degree bubble canopy either an F101-GE-102 or F110-GE-132 engine or
2 F414-EPE engines to improve performance 2 Pontiac M39A2 20mm cannons or 2 GIAT 30 30mm cannons for air to air combat along with heat & radar seeking air to air missiles, twin canted  vertical tails, redesigned intakes mounted far  away from the ground as possible & finally using the same controls as the A-10 for better survivability
along with armor self sealing fuel tanks & non electromagnetic electronic countermeasures for protection for the pilot & engine basically a supersonic P-40 Warhawk or a supersonic P-47 if you understand the concept for an F-105H Thunderceptor II.

An interceptor version would be interesting. The F-105 was really good at straight line speed but not so much at fighter style maneuvering. So a true interceptor version would make sense.
For high altitude the delta wing would be an improvement.
The F110 would give 3000lb more thrust in both nonafterburn and afterburner modes which makes it a real plus.
I would stick with the Vulcan cannon it already carried if it would carry a gun at all.
If it's flying true interceptor missions then a bubble canopy wouldn't be necessary but a two seater might be advantageous to house a radar operator.
Personally I would stick with the original intakes as they just look cool.
Definitely carry a bunch of Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles.
Beginning to sound like a kitbash of an F-105, an F-106 and an F-16.
Paint it in Air Superiority Blue or ADC grey.

It has a single seat & a twin seat models who can double as a combat trainer which be improved via new models whose improvements can be retrofitted to older models & yes it has twin vertical tails for performing at higher angles of attack than a single tail fin & to improve stability in case of both the tail fins is shot off via anti aircraft fire fire surface to air missiles direct energy weapons electromagnetic pulse weapons etc.

You lost me half way through that post. Sorry

The F-105H Thunderceptor II has a single seat model along with a twin seat models who can double as a combat trainer which both the A & B models can be improved via new models such as the C & D models whose improvements can be retrofitted to older models like the A-4 Skyhawk & it has twin vertical tails for performing at higher angles of attack than a single tail fin & to improve stability in case of both the tail fins is shot off via anti aircraft fire fire surface to air missiles & it uses A-10 style controls rather than fly by fire computers for better survivability.

F-105 with uprated turbofan cranked arrow double delta wing)with wingtips cropped for air to air rails) & a bubble canopy.
