Avro Canada CB-606 Chakram II
The flying saucers are back
The CB-606 was first conceived as an upgrade to the CL-110, which was already in serious need of a replacement, as the CL-110 was already a limited platform, conversion how it's engine technology ate up most of the space on the aircraft, leaving little left for weapons. While the disk wings concept proved to be sound, it problem of space needed to be solved. So a simple solution was conceived: keeps the saucer shaped wing, but plant a conventional fuselage atop the wing, allowing for much of the engine to be placed outside the ring, allowing for a much more heavily weaponized aircraft, and vastly increasing stability. The design was developed for the Skypark Air Service, as mid way through development, the Navy acquired the NATF-23 Bearcat II, which fill the role the CB-606 was going to fill, but which was still vacant by the air service.

They work just fine actually.
How do you drop bombs that are on top?
Canada is surprisingly scary for such a generally peaceful place.
