Thanks to ChiChiWerkx for helping with the nose wheel's weird steering!
Act. 1 - Turn on turbojet boosters (for supersonic flight at altitude and extra takeoff power)
Act. 2 - Braking parachutes
Act. 3 - Bomb bay
The Convair NX-2 was Convair's proposal for the US Air Force's WS-125 nuclear powered bomber project. The idea was to make a bomber that could both travel at supersonic speeds, but retain the range needed for a heavy bomber. The NX-2's armament would have consisted of one 10,000lb bomb, but had it been produced other armaments would have been made available. This NX-2 replica features one of my smoother airfoils, as well as the best landing gear I've made thus far. It also features a B53 nuclear bomb built off of my Mk. 17.

literally an unmanned bomb if not used properly
Very interesting
@DanDaFreakinMan The front wheel has very low sideways traction so it doesn't go crazy on takeoff. Unfortunately the back wheels are slightly lower than the front wheels so if you drop the bomb the front wheel no longer touches the ground
Looks and flies great, though its taxiing ability is all barely existing though

Hippity hoppity your gear systems are now my property (I’m not posting anything with your gear and even really gonna use the actual gear right off the aircraft (probably), just gonna use it to help me make my own.
Ohhhh ok thanks@asteroidbook345
How am I able to get my planes to you for testing before I post them@asteroidbook345

Hey, I am an up and coming builder and would love for you to test my aircraft. I am very inspired by your builds!
You should have done the cannon nuke thing... much more realistic
With the Convair NX-2, you can Ride the explosion
Absolutely fantastic bomber
Hi @asteroidbook345, i am building a soviet supersonic interceptor aircraft (fictional of course) that will be able to intercept sr-71 and xb-47, this plane looks like xb-47, would you like to appear in one of my photos? would fit perfect, fictional and fictional
Whoa
@asteroidbook345 Go 2 Gulahg
Very nicely done! This looks like it could be an SSTO in Kerbal Space Program
@asteroidbook345 did all these people ask to be tagged?
I especially like the white paint of the American army
Done.
