SB-1C Sea Sparrow - Multirole

10.3k VisionAviation  4.3 years ago

The SB-1C (SB for Solo Bomber) is a single crewmember supersonic bomber, capable of mach 2. It has a big bomb bay capable of carrying all the booms to destroy anything that needs destroying.

This particular version, the C model, is designed for Air Carrier Operation with folding wings and a tailhook.
However, due to limited space on an air carrier, you can't be specific about the role of your aircraft. It has to be able to fulfill multiple roles. The C version is completely set for both air-to-ground attacks as well as air-to-air combat.

The design is taking a familiar cockpit design, comparable with the Alphajet or the L-39 Albatross, and putting it on the body of a bomber. This is supposed to give the single pilot, the feeling of flying a smaller aircraft and would make it very easy to learn to fly the aircraft.

The manoeuvrability of the SB-1A is very much fighter like so any fighter pilot will have no problems adapting to this bomber.

This version is equiped with 10 x Boom 25, 4 short range AA missiles, 2 long range AA missiles, a fast firing 25mm cannon, missile approach warning system, a F-35 like camera on the front for tracking the baddies and of course, countermeasures.
