B-90 'Antonov'
Role: Multi-Role Intercontinental Bomber/Transport
Crew: 6 (+245 to 397 passengers)
Ceiling: 60,000ft
Height: 33.4ft
Weight: (Empty) ~190,000lb
Length: 96.5ft
Maximum Speed: Mach 1.1
Poweplant: 3x Super-X67 (Swastika Industries)
Combat Range: Intercontinental
Armaments: 4x 20mm M61 Vulcan, (up to) 4x MOAB, (up to) 4x tactical nuclear missiles, 50x AIM-120 ARAAM, 50x AGM-84 Harpoon, Unguided SB-71 Carpeters, 50x Anti-Tank Munitions, 60x TB-56 (Thermobaric bombs); All of these armaments can be in-place at the same time except the MOAB's or TNM's at max. If not at max. they can be arranged to be carried accordingly.

The Antonov was first introduced into warfare in Oman around a year ago. It is designed to be an intimidating, flying fortress capable of tactical nuclear missile drops, transportation, and long-range bombing runs. The hull of the Antonov is constructed in such a way, that radar signals are deflected without making the aircraft noticeably stealthy. The 'swept-wing' designed was adopted from American B2 Spirit bombers used in the Great War against revolutionaries in the South.

The airframe of the Antonov is constructed from titanium alloy treated for high-altitude freezing temperatures. The inside of the Antonov is obviously well heated and ready for battle. The Anotov, is obviously equiped for HALO (High Altitude-Low Opening) jumps aswell, allowing Confederate troops to get a could spot on the enemy. While as of now, the B-90 is not for commercial export, Swastika Industries and Das Zitadelle are having talks over constructing an export version of the aircraft.

Seems to have a very light bomb load, especially for a blended wing body design.... you could probably get away with doubling the load, unless of course, you plan to carry a passenger load, AS WELL as bomb load, which would be madness.

((OOC: As I would never give advice to help another corporation ICly without an ulterior motive, I'll have to say this OOCly. Your corporation needs a new name. Swastika Industries may be well and good in your nation, but marketed abroad many more people dislike Nazism than love it. This means that, based on the name of your corporation alone people won't buy from you. This is why Volkswagon is called Volkswagon and not "Nazi Motor Company" or some such.))

OOC: TPM: Yes, I was cautious about that, I wasn't sure of a good load for a bomber this size. But thank you.

Resi Corporation: S Ind. isn't exactly, an exporting corporation, but I'll take it into consideration. Thanks for the advice.

Nice design. I was wondering, when would an export version become available? We have B2 bombers, but they might need to be replaced eventually.

Also, do you have any fighter designs? We have a fighter competition going on, and if it is not too much trouble, the Swastika Industries Company or the Das Zitadelle Company could submit a design.

OOC: Where is your nation based, anyway? I hear Oman, but also the super-continent of Das Vaterland....I am a bit confused.

OOC: The Confederacy is based in Der Vaterland (Yes, a super-continent), while we have commonwealths (Oman, Latvia, Lithuania, West Belarus, and Exetoniae) and insular areas, which are usually military bases (Jackson M.I. [Purchased land from TBD]) and Isla Sablar (100 miles off the coast of Costa Rica). Oh, and Das Zitadelle means The Citadel. Which is pretty much like the Kremlin, not a company.

IC:
As of now, we are deciding on the export version and we have a few fighter designs, but we are currently desiging several.

OOC: That's cool....

IC:

Very well then. We look forward to doing business with you.
