Information

The B-12C Cloud Buster will be able to fly higher and faster than any previous bomber. It will be able to carry twice the weight of a B-2 Spirit and can be easily converted to carry troops. Currently the bombers are housed at Centa Air Force Base in Lashuga. This idea dawned on me one day while I was cruising around FAS and stumbled upon a short article about HyperSoar. This article amazed me. The idea of a craft skipping on the atmosphere was really intriguing. So here it is. Welcome to the Future. Or maybe welcome to later today.

History

After the Lashugese Air Force needed a better bomber with more range. Yantech Corporation decided to take up the challenge of a global bomber. It took them 12 years to come up with a usable prototype for the LAF. It took them another 5 to come up with a final release B-12. Yantech struggled for many years trying to figure out how to guide the bombs at such high of a height. In the first bomb test the bomb kept rocking back and forth from the wind friction. Slowing down the bomb speed and putting on a heat shield quickly corrected this. The LAF needed this bomber for undisclosed reasons. Lashuga fell behind the curve of Bombers after releasing the B-56 this bomber did not fend well in the world and had many problems, including the bomb carriers dropping the bombs before the bay was open. Yantech did not give up though creating more prototypes while still secretly working on this. Lashuga did suggest this as a joint project at the NSDC, under the name Project Denizen, but no one wanted to help poor old Lashuga. After many trials and mistrials Yantech is proud to introduce it’s best bomber yet.

Bombs

The B-12C had two High-Drop bombs specially designed for it.

BAK-112: GPS Guided Nuclear Bomb that lands within 15 feet of the target. With the GPS capability you can pinpoint a house or a park or even a baseball stadium. (Note: Lashuga does not in anyway promote random terrorist attacks.) This bomb can destroy almost one whole city. Weighs 2,000 pounds

BAK-114: Smaller and faster bomb than the BAK-112. It is still GPS guided but is not nuclear. The bomb is capable of destroying 50 city blocks. Weighs 2,000 pounds.

Every other bomb can be fitted into the B-12C, but these two were specifically designed for drops from an altitude of over 100,000 feet.

Radar

The brand new X7-B6/AEB radar has search and destroy technology. This means that the radar can pick up a cricket chirping on the ground from space. The X7-B6/AEB also has AWW technology. This tells the pilot when hazardous weather. The brand new system has been placed in all planes.

Special Applications

Space lift - B-12C Cloud Buster could be employed as the first stage of a two-stage-to- orbit space launch system. Research shows this approach will allow approximately twice the payload-to-orbit as today's expendable launch systems for a given gross takeoff weight. Passenger aircraft - A commercial B-12C Cloud Buster airliner or business jet could reach any destination on the planet from the continental U.S. in two hours or less. Freighter - A B-12C Cloud Buster freight aircraft could make four or more roundtrips to, say, Tokyo each day from the U.S. versus one or less for today's aircraft. Analysis indicates a B-12C Cloud Buster aircraft flying express mail between Los Angeles and Tokyo could generate ten times the daily revenue of a similarly- sized subsonic cargo plane of today.

Engine

The B-12C has two engines, a scramjet engine, YSJ-100 and an engine which uses antimatter as fuel, YAME-27-300-W. (Disclaimer: Antimatter is a real substance currently being produced at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The anitmatter is 100 percent efficent compared to nuclear fission's 1.5.). A scramjet engine uses air as it's fuel, for the most part. That engine would be used to put the B-12C onto the edge of the atmosphere. Once at the atmosphere the scramjet engines would be shutoff and the YAME-27-300-W engine would take over. One droptlet of antimatter could power newyork for a day. With this fuel the plane can go around the earth 20 times before having to land.

Fuel Preservation

Fuel Preservation was a big issue on this project so to preserve fuel the B-12C skips along the earth’s atmosphere like a rock on water. This skipping preserves fuel and can help to slow down the aircraft before dropping it’s payload. Think how hard it would be for a pilot to drop a bomb while going along at Mach 10. The angle at which the plane skips manages to keep the Gs to 1.5(Comparable to the effect felt on a child’s swing)

Order confirmed

I presume you mean ten aircraft with no high drop bombs. the total comes to 34 billion dollars

ok fluffywuffy. i'm alittle behind the curve but it is still my bomber which may look like yours but i created two new engines so you didn't have these things since december.

and Doujin i had a red star instead of the american flag.
