Act. 1 - Bomb bay
Act. 2 - Parachutes
The Convair XB-53 was the bomber version of the preceding XA-44 project. It featured forward-swept wings and a radical tailless design. Like its contemporary, the XB-51, it was a trijet, with two side engines and one central engine powering it. There's little known about this aircraft other than that, but the dimensions and estimated speed are known.

@BagelPlane dang didn’t even bother to change the color scheme
Yo this one was stolen too. https://www.shapeways.com/product/D9LT83V8F/convair-xb-53-1-87?optionId=167053386&li=shops
@DanDaFreakinMan It was originally supposed to be an attack plane but they turned it into a bomber. The flight characteristics are a bit strange.
Looks pretty cool, flies a bit wonky though. I guess it's a bomber?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wowowowowwoowow
just wondering
@asteroidbook345 um did u made a trollyeeter?
I tried it and it's very maneuverable, versatile, and multi-use.
surprisingly simple
yet neat
This plane looks confused.
I will link you it. I would like some feedback on a bomber, particularly wing design and overall look so far into this project.
Could I have your help on something?@asteroidbook345
Wish my low part count builds got this much attention. I guess I have to be a platinum. (Depression +2)
Not gonna lie...I like this build. Impressively simple, yet fun and not ridiculously inaccurate by any means. It turns a bit fast and you could kill that swerving on takeoff by lowering the sideways traction on the nosewheels to .5 (that’s what I had to do to take off!), but I like it. Fun to attack the convoy with.
@asteroidbook345 ok! I'll add some jets to my tank and explore it later
did you just place your plane on top of a real image?!
Very cool! Looks great
Beautiful
@asteroidbook345 done.
@asteroidbook345 please link the challenge.
@asteroidbook345 can you make the Lenticular Reentry Vehicle? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LenticularReentryVehicle
Weird looking plane irl, but well replicated, nice!

@asteroidbook345 Ok
