Overview:
The B-301 is invisioned as the next-generation high-speed, high-altitude bomber that will complement the existing fleet of B-300s along with the currently being tested, B-302 Streamer. The B-301s main goal during development was speed and altitude. The Space Union Air Force (SUAF) had made a custom order for a high-speed penetration bomber that could deliver at least half the payload of the B-300D. The B-301 was designed and borrows many features from other aircrafts amongst the world but also features some new inivations to it along with already existing domestic technologies. The prototype B-301 is a full success. It is capable of cruising speeds up to Mach 3.1 but can go to a maximum of Mach 3.5 while carring up to 68,000 kgs of bombs and missiles. This makes the B-301 a very lethal weapons when used in conjunction with the B-300 and even if used alone.

Empty: 168,000 kg
Full: 420,000 kg
Normal Payload: 60,000 kg
Maximum Payload: 64,000 kg
Cruising Speed: Mach 3.1
Maximum Speed: Mach 3.5
Range: 10,000 km
Altitude: 80,000 ft
Propulsion: 6 Union-47 Turbofan Engines rated at 112,000 lbs each

Price: $623 million
Airframe:
The B-301 is designed to be very sleek in design for performance sakes. It resembles the late SR-71 with enlarged fuselage and body and with the addition of canards in the front of the B-301. The wings are traditional Delta Wings so that the B-301 has very good performance during high-speed bombing campaigns or attacks. Along with that the B-301 has an enlarged body and wings so that it can perform its bombing runs and high-altitude service.
Like the SR-71, the B-301 keeps both of its engines on-top of the fuselage instead of underneath. This allows improved stealth capabilities along with more aerodynamic stability during high speed flight. Along with that, the engines have been blended into the body so that they from a distints they seem to be part of the body not seperate. This allows for decreased RCS and IRS.
Because of the high-speeds and the high-altitudes, the body has been made out of stainless steel. Stainless steel is very heat resistant and is incredibally strong. This allows the B-301 to endore the expansion and contraction of the airframe, that is common during supersonic flight. The leading edges, though, have been constructed of composite material to prevent those parts from heating from the high-temperatures experienced during the daily flights.
Propulsion:
The B-301 has 6 large, turbofan engines. These are the latest from Union Corporation. They pack a punch of 132,000 lbs of thrust each, giving the B-301 an enormous push for its money. To ensure that the engine doesn't crack or break during the runs, it has been constructed entirely of light-weight aluminium-titanium alloy. This alloy allows the engine body to expand and contract without contracting because of the relative flexible properties of the alloy. Along with that, this alloy is very durable resulting it less parts and replacements being needed. This brings the total maintaince cost down compared to similar size-class engines. Although origionally designed for the C-300 series, the engines have been downgraded a bit to allow it to fit upon the upper wing.
Avionics:
The B-301 Streamer features the Blizzard-All-Purpose-Suit like its complement, the B-300.
Blizzard All-Purpose Suit:
Sub-Suits:
AM-32 Weapons Management Sub-Suit
SM-33 Aircraft Managament Sub-Suit
TM-34 Electronics Management Sub-Suit
KM-35 Health Management Sub-Suit
AM-32:
WAM-1: Weapon's Guidance System. Uses built-in lasers and radar to guide missiles to target with pin-point accuracy even if it is moving.
WAM-2: Ensures that a maximum number of 20 missiles can be fired every minute.
WAM-3: Fire-Control System for the weapons and machine gun.
SM-33:
ASM-1: Fly-By-Light System that ensures greater flexibility and faster control for the pilot.
ASM-2: GPS System that provides the pilot with information on location.
ASM-3: Displays a 3D view of the entire area for the pilot in a 3 cubic mile radius.
ASM-4: Allows pilot to select target on the 3D view, and the plane automatically goes there at the optimal angle of flight, giving the aircraft the most lethal power.
ASM-5: This system provides effective defense for the aircraft. Controls the IAMDS.
TM-34:
ETM-1: Pilot's Guidance System that will ensure the pilot where he's going.
ETM-2: Laser Tracking System that will track up to 50 targets and sort them out based on "Danger Level"
ETM-3: IR and Laser Scanner that will give the pilot, eyes that can overcome any obstacle.
ETM-4: Voice Recognization System that allows the pilot to command any system/weapon when he wants to without having to look away from the HUD.
ETM-5: HUD that displays output from all the Sub-Suits and systems.
KM-35:
HKM-1: Temperature Monitoring System that makes sure nothing overheats.
HKM-2: Malfunction Detection System that keeps survaillance over entire body to report any problems.
HKM-3: Solution System that will automatically try to fix any problem in the aircraft.
Weapons/Payload:
The B-301 is capable of carrying a heavy payload of 64,000 kgs. This gives the B-301 first-strike capabilities preceding the launch of complementing B-300s. As with the B-300, the B-301 has four bays and 8 Hardpoints:
2x Main Weapons Bay (MWB)
1x Smart Weapons Bay (SWB)
1x Self-Defense Bay (SDB)
The Main Weapons Bay contains the main weapons and has the crucial firepower within it. The MWB can carry up to 30,000 kgs of any type of bombs or over 66,000 lbs of weapons.
The Smart Weapons Bay (SWB) carries all the Smart-Weapons and Guided Missiles. It gives the B-300 the precision strike capability that will allow the B-300 to hit terrorist or any enemy in no matter what terrain.
The Self-Defense Bay (SDB) encloses the countermeasure weapons such as the Missile Launchers and the 30mm Cannon. It also houses the Jammer and Laser Scrambler Equipment along with the LASER and MASERs.
Note: All the weapons bays are equipped with adjustable hooks. This also applis to the hardpoints located on the wings. This allows for customization according to the mission in the firepower/weapons needed and used.
