B-55 bomber

135 Woutors  4.4 years ago

Hi! I made this 8 engine jet bomber. This plane has a working bomb bay! This build was inspirated by the B-52.

For take-off:
Lower the flaps via AG 1 and VTOL down.
Rotate at 160 MPH, Be carefull! don't rotate to much.
Retract the flaps at 190 MPH.

For bombing:
Open the bomb bay via AG2 VTOL down.
To drop all the bombs arm AG3.

For landing: (it's hard)
Lower the flaps at 180 MPH.
Lower the gear.
Touch down speed is at 150 MPH:
DO NOT FLARE! This will make for a tall strike.

Landing is hard but still a pretty stable plane to fly.
