This is a completely fictional design I came up with in my spare time. Noticing how massive this aircraft truely was, I tried coming up with my own landing gear design with re-sizable wheels, but the rotators kept collapsing under the sheer mass of this huge beast. So, I tried it again with Simple Planes' puny gears, and they worked despite being so small and puny. I have also thrown around 20k pounds of fuel into the fusalage to stimulate a payload, given that I haven't the slightest clue of how to make bomb bay doors. If I were to be actually designing this aircraft, I would have all of the fuel stored in the wings, and completely dedicate the fuselage to it's massive payload. Anyways, tell me what you think and tell my about any improvements I could make in the comments below!
