L-1 King Albatross

A big, big bird with a lot to back it up. Well engineered to perform its task but almost directly dedicated to being a bomber with little use for much else, save some cargo transport if desperately needed.

The need for a high endurance, extreme range bomber prompted the development process which led to the L-1's production. The first jet bomber domestically designed and produced in Winolia, its staggering performance
impressed even the engineers who designed the craft. While its lightweight design meant that it could be easily manufactured, it's impressive carry weight and supersonic crusing capabilities meant it fit in well with
the Nations 'blitzkreig' like doctrine which focused on small cell tactical action integrated into larger operation strategies where each piece is integral yet not destructive if removed suddenly. It's high altitude capabilities
make up for its lack of stealth.


Sporting two extremely power turbojet engines, the L-1 King Albatross is an impressive bird and certainly a king of the sky. It weights just shy of 100,000 points
and can carry 60,000 pounds or varied ordinace, including a cruise missile either in it's large bay or on it's external pylons. Pilots are hosed in a 200 degree panoramic
glass cockpit with advanced avionics and a Taktix-1 connection to the system. Chaffs Flares and the ability to jam radar signals to some degree. The aircraft is not armed for
air-to-air combat and relies on its escort, usually A-14's ,to provide cover and support. Although with an operational ceiling just short of 50,000 feet it can easily perform
its mission with little fear of being shot down. Even then, its ability to cruise beyond mach 1 and still perform it's missions only makes it even more capable.


Normal flight controls
AG8 = Bay door controls. Open and close.


So yeah, this big boy has bays. Plus, it can kill ships with ease. It's loaded with everything you need and hey, low part count. Safe to download. Wings flex a little but nothing much
Just a bit of fun for me. I wonder is anyone can guess what aircraft it's based off.
