Overview: the E510 "Arbitrator" is flying-wing strategic bomber. It's powered by eight 3,000hp radial engines and four turbojet engines, has a relatively short takeoff distance, and can fly at altitudes up to 60,000ft and speeds of up to 543 knots. The enormous wingspan of the aircraft, which is greater than the fuselage length of a Boeing 747-8, makes it the largest aircraft by wingspan in the Venture aircraft collection.
FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 625mph, 1006kph, 543knots.
Maximum Altitude: 60,000ft, 18,288m.
Takeoff Airspeed (IAS)(Full Power): ~90mph, ~145kph, ~78knots.
Landing Airspeed (IAS): ~80mph, ~129kph, ~70knots.
Note: these values were recorded with the current variant of the aircraft. These values vary slightly depending on which variant is being used.
Controls:
- VTOL: Airbrakes.
- Trim: Trim.
- Activate1: Toggle Propeller Engines.
- Activate2: Toggle Jet Engines (If Present).
- Activate3: Activate Bombs (If Present).
NOTES
- Avoid exceeding 5-8 degrees pitch during takeoff, otherwise the outboard props may strike the ground and be destroyed.
- Deploying the airbrakes increases yaw stability, especially at low speeds.
- I recommend using full airbrakes during landing.
- Because of the lack of vertical stabilizers, the aircraft may yaw slightly while turning due to drag induced by the elevons. Slight rudder corrections may be needed to prevent drifting.

Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
The extra wide dorito
If this aircraft enters a flat spin, it would be a gigantic boomerang in the air.
I'm gonna
It's a hard plane to fly, but it's fun to fly! Impressive work!
@tsampoy Much appreciated!
Simple but beautifully made
@Bonk21474 The E500 doesn't have jet pods. Props only.
whats the diffrence between E 510 and E 5000
I love this!!!
looks like arsenal bird from ace combat 7
@Brayden1981 Of course!
@DeadlyDialga Sounds like a good idea. It's been months since I've made one of those.
@TheFlightGuySP
If you want a suggestion, I'll double down on one of my suggestions from MP. Why not a proper passenger jet, maybe recreate one of those super old ones you showed me?
Very good!
That ISN'T bomb, that like meteor colided to earth (that bomb is insane)
But the plane is GOOD 👍
@TheFlightGuySP can I use your towplane?
this is good
Im da biggest birb! Im da biggest berb!
@STENDEC It is. I simply didn't feel motivated to invest more time into making bomb bays (they're tricky to fit into the wings).
@TheFlightGuySP I also wonder if an internal bomb bay is possible.
@STENDEC The name "Arbitrator" is a sort of call-back to the B-36.
The B-36's nickname was the Peacemaker, so I decided to name this the Arbitrator since it's a synonym of Peacemaker.
@STENDEC It's essentially a mix between an XB-35 and a B-36.
I was considering a full-jet version, but I chose not to do that. I figured a mixed-propulsion flying-wing would be more interesting than a full-jet.
