Northrop XB-35

5,745 jared3339  8.5 years ago

The Northrop XB-35 and YB-35 were experimental heavy bomber aircraft developed by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Army Air Forcesduring and shortly after World War II. The airplane used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are eliminated and all payload is carried in a thick wing. Only prototype and pre-production aircraft were built, although interest remained strong enough to warrant further development of the design as a jet bomber, under the designation YB-49.[2] warning this aircraft is extremely difficult to fly it should only be done if you know what to do it. this aircraft also does not take off until you reach the very end of the runway then and only then will it actually get off the ground you have to be off the runway for takeoff. after that I highly suggest you keep your speed above 200 miles per hour and try not to dive too fast or else you will stall. I understand that the YB-35 had a jet engines instead of for prop engines. I will be creating a version of this that has for jet engines so please do not upload any aircraft that are mods of this that have 8 jet engines. please enjoy and upvote it took me a very long time to make this aircraft actually fly and I work super hard
