Minister of Defense Angelika Ruutli issued a full-stop command to the aviation industries of Koi, commandeering their production lines and forcing them to produce for the war effort. MiniFly, in conjunction with the needs of MiniPeace, developed the needs and requirements for new aircraft needed for the Oranži Õhuvägi. The three aircraft designs requested by MiniPeace were a light fighter, a heavy fighter / light bomber, and an interceptor. MiniFly was given three months to make these designs and get them on the production line.
Boreal
With the need for newer and better engines, Boreal began the development and production of brand new aircraft engines. To keep it simple, the three proposed aircraft were going to be utilizing a large, 14-cylinder (in two rows of 7-cylinders), supercharged, radial engine that could be configured with three, four, and six blades. These engines were upgrades from the 12-cylinder radial engines used on the Keskmine Transpordilennuk medium transport aircraft and several commercial aircraft.
Voeing Marci
Voeing Marci, in conjunction with several smaller firms, would begin the creation of two of the requested aircraft, the light fighter and the heavy fighter.
Designers would immediately begin the process of drafting up designs for light mono-wing fighter that could combat the Galran Lancer. The first iteration of designs were all over the place, though all expected a puller-prop plane with at least two forward machine guns. Designs ranged from standard wing configuration to canard-style. Some wanted the guns right behind the propellers while others wanted them mounted in the wings; one even suggesting it should be a machinegun in the cockpit like on old biplane fighters. It would take a little while before they'd settle on a design to prototype.
Another design group would begin the design of a heavy fighter that could double as a light bomber. With this design requirement, designers realized the aircraft would need to sport at least two engines to make it viable for carrying larger guns or heavy bombs. Most designs relied on a more standard approach to the wing configuration, needing to be sturdy while allowing for room for bombs and/or guns. Some even suggested having a rear gunner section to protect the aircraft in either configuration due to its larger size likely making it less maneuverable.
Lõuna Rogorod
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Lõuna Rogorod, a locomotive manufacturer, would try their hand at producing the interceptor. Going off the specifications from Boreal, engineers began the meticulous task of trying to create a small, lightweight, agile interceptor aircraft that would be able to outmaneuver the Galran aircraft and deny them superiority in the air. Many engineers hadn't designed an aircraft before, causing some wild designs to be put forth for the first round of drafts, with some clearly not being capable of flight while others were much more plausible from the engineers who were designing more streamlined engines.
