JAC NA-77 Longbow

3,606 aerobeeter  2.6 years ago

The Jeager Aviation Corporation NA-77 Longbow carrier-based strike bomber was designed and sold to the Krakabloa Defence Force as the Wright Naval Corps already had multiple bombers (mostly assembled, coming soon!). It was a twin-engined bomber with an internal bomb bay with the bombs being suspended on a rotating shaft in order to maximize capacity. Pilots enjoyed flying the aircraft except for final approaches, where it had a notoriously fast sink rate from its weight. The first variant entered active service in the late 50s and had 40 light bombs for carpet bombing. Activation groups: 1 for arrestor hook, 2 for wing fold, 3 to open bomb bay and activate bombs, VTOL to rotate bomb shaft, Trim for Trim+Flaps
