Blancandrin
The Blancandrin was the SFR's first important heavy bomber. While it suffered from a protacted development due to high command's disinterest compared to attack aircraft, the Veillantif's potentially long range and the aircraft's own teething issues, the Blancandrin nevertheless became one of the best heavy bombers of the early period of post-Crumbling aviation, being a fast, heavily armed aircraft capable of carrying heavy ordnance. Notable for both it's unusual three-surface design and five-engined arrangement, this bomber saw limited service in the closing stages of the Nova Evropan War, having once bombed one of their last remaining citadels in the Eastern region. However, in the post-War world it would go on to be the basis of the first post-Crumbling land-based airliners owning to the safety afforded by it's redundancy.
