B-36D Atlan Carrier Bomber


Taken at 20km/65.000ft altitude in combat patrol

Background.

The concept of the strategic bomber is usually big, heavy, and somewhat not flexible. It requires a dedicated airbase to maintain the bomber mission-ready. Whereas the usual airbase is stationary, there is some "Airbase" that moves around: Aircraft Carrier. Having the strategic bomber class aircraft that are carrier-capable can give a tactical advantage like increasing its reach and more rapid deployment. So it doesn't have to use what the British did in the Falkland war, where they use 11 Victor tankers to extend Vulcan's range. Also, utilizing long-range standoff weapons can increase the already increased aircraft operating range significantly. So, the concept is an aircraft similar to B-52 as a missile launch platform with a carrier as its forward operating base

Design and Description

B-36D Atlan is a subsonic, jet-powered, strategic bomber. It boasts carrier-capable while still carrying heavy ordinance of 25 000 lb of munition. It's basically cramping up heavy bomber payload to the small frame and call it a day. It has 2 powerful high bypass turbofans to keep up with its payload and efficiency to travel long ranges. It has an internal weapon bay that could fit 4 Thorpol - 9M Cruise Missile in a rotary launcher or 12 1000lb of free-fall bomb. Each wing posses 2 pylons that can be attached to 2 more missiles (or 4 if you want), bombs, or drop tanks. It also has a folding wing to store in the carrier hangar. The frame also has the potential to be converted to the AWACS, cargo, or a tanker.

Role

  • Missile Launch Platform (Primary)
  • Tactical strike
  • Nuclear Strike
  • Tanker (Possible)
  • AWACS (Possible)

Features:

- Working rotary bomb bay

Maintain COM in the middle

- Nice landing gear (that I am proud of)

Not the best on sp, definitely one of the best on my inventory lol

- Engine with FT (prevent overspeeding, sort of)

Control:

  • Activate1: Arresting Hook
  • Acitvate2: Drop tank
  • Acitvate3: Toggle airbrake
  • Acitvate4: Toggle front landing gear light
  • Acitvate5 and Deactivate6: Toggle first weapon slot (Wing pylon)
  • Acitvate6 and Deactivate5: Toggle second weapon slot (Bomb bay)
  • Deacitvate8: Fold wing
  • Trim: Trim
  • VTOL: Flaps

Weapon Briefing: Thorpol - 9M Cruise Missile


Thorpol - 9M Cruise Missile is a standoff air-launched subsonic cruise missile , grouped in 1500km class. It is comparable with US Tomahawk and Russian Kalibr, both in dimension and role. It is a low-cost (and low parts) substitute for Mirthal - 128 LSCM. It has a folding wing for minimizing storage spaces

Specification
Operational range: 1500 km
Max Speed: Mach.95
Max targeting angle: 35
Guidance: GPS, Active homing, Inertial
Warhead: 900lb

Other Weapon Load:

Dumb bombs(click me or click the image)


Note
- Feel free to take the cruise missile
- Although it has 1k+ parts, I have disabled the drag on many parts. It should be not that laggy. (untested)
- Cruising Instruction:

  • Go to 10km Altitude
  • Throttle to 55-65%
  • Adjust angle with trim

Useful for reducing fuel consumption

    Best bomber. Note the landing gif, could have used 4 degrees less angle of attack.

    @edensk yeah ik the engines could never get there, but im saying it would have diff engines just saying the route he took was different than i would expect but its cool

    Quite fun, very stable. Fairly realistic handling characteristics, IMHO. Probably a little too fast, especially at low altitude…450 KTAS at S.L., not impossible, but that’s pretty fast for down low in thick air with those big compressor faces and hanging missiles. Nice rotary bomb bay. I can land it on the boat fairly easily, though the front L.G. is too weak (breaks off on landing at 140-150 KIAS) and it needs more nose up trim. The highlight is the fact that it’s intriguing enough to hold my attention as I investigate all the tricks you’ve incorporated.

    @ChrisPy There's no way this thing could go supersonic with that engine nacelle. Not only would the drag be extremely high, but the engine would suffer a lot of damage or a huge performance loss due to the shock waves

    Very good design! I especially like the engine design although with engines this size I would imagine it could get supersonic but they are only turbofans so it is a bit confusing. Subsonic high efficency makes sense but more than likely irl it would be supersonic at lower payloads and with a shorter range kind of like the a-6, but its a different way to go i guess and thats what makes it cool!
