Dr. Hanes,
Sir, I've been doing some thinking about this bomber. With the specifications we're working towards, namely altitude and speed, it would be very easy to make some very effective weaponry. One thing I was thinking about is something that uses the heat generated by the air resistance. It would use something like the ceramic tiles the US uses on their space shuttle to transfer heat into the bomb. The bomb itself would be filled with a homogenous mixture of magnesium powder and ammonium perchlorate. The heat would transfer into the filling, liquifiying it (also raising it to way past its temperature of ignition). About 30 or so feet (that would naturally be dictated by the target), a small explosive charge would rupture the casing of the bomb, causing the now premixed (and fully liquified) fuel and oxidizer to spontanously and violently react. This reaction would be extremely intense, and probably cause a large, extremely hot explosion, turning just about anything metal near it into molten slag, and igniting anything remotely flammable. Basically hell in a can. Email me back telling me what you think, and if we can start looking into developing this. Thanks!

Scott,
That is brilliant. I'm going to order the Advanced Chemistry Division to start research on this right away. I'd like to debut this on the same day as our bomber, since the bomber is the weapons platform we'll be using to deliver it.
