@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 yes. Looks like a good base.
I have made a new version of yours
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore Sort of, the B-50 is based on the B-29 if not a directly upgraded version of its design.
some variant of the B-50 has fuel tanks or/and jet engines installed under the wings
it flies on one engine
@TheUltimatePlaneLover wait, the B-29 and B-50 is a whole different plane this whole time????
@Imbadatbuildingplens base it off of this
@TheUltimatePlaneLover eh fair
@Rob119WithA105mmHowitzer I guess they had to be sure, since airfields would probably be prime nuclear targets at the time....
To be fair they did discover some things, e.g. jet fighters are the most durable between jets, prop fighters, and bombers.
Regardless the poor XF-90 didn't deserve that ;-;
@TheUltimatePlaneLover ok but like wouldn't you already know what would happen to a jet if nuked? Like you see what happens to literal cities couldn't the US use its imagination?
@Rob119WithA105mmHowitzer Three reasons:
-The project and aircraft were cancelled
-They were trying to see how much damage aircraft could take from a nuclear bomb in case of nuclear war
-They really just wanted to make the XF-90 go extinct (there were two, one is the one that got nuked and left in the desert until recent, and the other one was destroyed by further testing at NACA following the program cancellation)
@TheUltimatePlaneLover why would they nuke a fighter plane?
@AndiTontrando Nice :D Can't wait to see it!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Thank you!! I'll soon upload a KB-50J Tanker:)
The B-50...
A less recognized Superfortress, but a good one nonetheless. This is probably within the first 10 I've seen here, and potentially the first 5 I've seen built during my time. Great build bro :D Take my upvote and spotlight
Also, my XF-90 is sweating profusely right now...
For context, the only "surviving" Lockheed XF-90 was victim to being a nuclear test target three times. I can't seem to find any straightforward statements on what dropped the nuke, since I doubt it was a nuclear missile test, but after sourcing and comparing dates, I can safely assume it was a Boeing B-50 much like this one that dropped the nukes. I could be wrong, but I believe this is so.
Edit: Well, now I feel stupid, but for the better XD. I did in fact find a source, two of them. It was in fact the B-50 that nuked the XF-90 lol
