B-34

1,500 Shebke  22 days ago


Czechoslovak concept of jet bomber aircraft from the late 50s. It was supposed to replace old attacker B-33 (Soviet IL-10 under Czechoslovak license production). Aircraft was supposed to be armed with 2 wing-mounted NR-23 cannons and 4 pylons for unguided rockets and bombs. An interesting feature was 2 rounded rocket pods for 80 55mm rockets which were supposed to be located around the engine.

I found only two pictures located on a single website (written in the Czech language) on the internet, so I haven't had many sources to work with. To compensate for it I was forced to fill those holes with my ideas. That means that aircraft isn't and can't be 100% accurate. I made my own cockpit and designed how rocket pods theoretically could be made.

For those who can understand Czech or just want to see the source I used, here it is:
