The Innovative Aviation B-23 Argentavis is an Equestrian built eight-engined contra-rotating propeller driven heavy bomber designed by Innovative Aviation Company and flown primarily by the Equestrian Air Force from 1940s to 1970s. The aircraft was named after the Argentavis, the most biggest bird to went extinct in The Seven Continents but still exist in Great Country in very low numbers. The Argentavis was designed for high altitude strategic bombing, presumably from the height between 25,000 to 45,000 feet.

When the history of B-23s were revealed to the public, It surpassed the B-36 Peacemaker in the longest wingspan with 99.2 meters of B-23 compared to 70 meters of B-36. The B-23s were the most effort built aircraft of any Equestrian aircraft company at the time, they were equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a pressurized cabin, dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear, and an analog computer-controlled fire-control system that allowed one gunner and a fire-control officer to direct three remote machine gun turrets. They became the most prominent product of Innovative Aviation Company and is one of the few aircrafts that Equestria did not permit to be sold to foreign countries, although Civilian versions were sold as per demand by other countries.

Out of 100 built B-23s, only 15 were preserved with 5 in flying order.

    It’s weird that I just built a contra-rotating personal aircraft yesterday, and posted it 10 hours ago. But I have to admit, this plane is great.
