Notes:
-It got too laggy to continue testing, so I was only able to get the top speed to around 250mph

History: In the early 1950s, nuclear bomb carrying aircraft were a necessity to counter a Russian strike (which never happened because the threat of nuclear war was a huge problem for both the USA and the USSR). McDonnell and Douglas joined forces to create a bomber capable of meeting and beating the B-36. The proposed aircraft would have had a crew of thirteen: Pilot, Co-pilot, navigator, radio operator, tail gunner, bombardier, and seven weapons officers. The aircraft was meant to carry atomic and nuclear bombs about twice to three times the size of the ones dropped on Japan during World War Two. The project was cancelled after the first test aircraft flew on June 26, 1957.

I could swear this resembles the B-36 aside from the cockpit and the longitude position of the wing (b-36s were a little farther back if I remember correctly0
Really beautiful plane with a nice cockpit!
