WIP-USFAF SB-62
Hello again! It's been a while hasn't it? Yeah, school has been giving me hell, but I'm touching it out, so how's it going? Oh? Mmhm. Well that's good. Anyway enough talk.
This is one of the things I've been working on for a little while, the SB-62 or space bomber-62. While developing this thing I thought, what is a famous bomber, and the first thing that came to mind was the Lancaster bomber, so then I tried to build a space plane that looked like the Lancaster bomber. But that's looked horrible, so I thought what's a famous fighter jet, and I thought of the f-14, so I re-did bits and pieces of the plane to make the plane look like the unholy love child of a Lancaster bomber and an f-14. Who's the mom? Who's the dad? I don't care, this is there child, a horrible, misshapen mess of a plane that I honestly hate looking at. But who cares about my opinion. Enjoy!
Its almost (not really) done,
---Features (kinda)---
•totally un-flyable
•a bomb bay that doesn't work
•fugly
•engines don't work
---Needed to be worked on---
•Side engines
•space for turrent
•going to need a modded structural panel that is scaled to be 0.25 the normal size
•fix that darn bomb bay
•add guns somewhere
•make wings bulkier
•hide rotators
•hide ugly gap between wings
•maybe rework back
---Instructions---
Ag-1 and VTOL up to open bomb bay doors (one of them don't work, idk why)
Ag-8 and VTOL down to sweep wings back

The SB-62 is a light bomber designed by Royston & Bureau aircrafts. It's a heavily modified variant of the B-62 bomber made my BAE enterprise avionics division, and Northrop Grumman. The light bomber was designed in 2068 early on in the intergalactic war and was finally phased out of service in 2119 a few years after the war was over. It was designed to be deployed cheaply, and on mass to destroy Vasitorve starships, and Vasitorve cities. The rockets that were used by the SB-62 were originally designed for that aircraft, as they were one of the first rockets to utilize a SRII plasma engine as it propellant. These rockets were so successful they would be used by many other aircrafts for years to come.
The SB-62 was a 2 person aircraft, one seat being the pilot, and the other seat for the gunner, however there was always a third person in the plane, an AI, more specifically a third generation ai often from mission command, the ai could take over the roles of any of the people in the craft, including the turrent, the piloting, and the payload.

@mikoyanster
If you want, but I'm fine right now, it's just supposed to be a bomber
@Supercraft888 can i help you ;-)
@mikoyanster
Oh improve the plane
@Supercraft888 yes of course, sounds good, but you have to make some changes ... 1200 gallons max. Improve the agility of the airplane. Solve the problem of the left engines.;-)
@mikoyanster
Introduce the plane?
@Supercraft888 Done, I tagged you on it.
@Supercraft888 I can do that. Just a minute.
@LiamW thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that
Nice and original you can introduce this plane. No problem 😉😉
@Dovahkiin420
Can you make a structural panel that's 0.25x scaled?
@LiamW
It's 10/day from what I remember
@ThatOnion its okay, i can ask someone else
@ThatOnion if you click on "public" when you upload stuff it changes to unlisted. This means the only way to find it is to look at your own posts and give people links to it. you can upload 12/day of unlisted
Cool!
Just remember that I'm always available for some XML modding.
Srry i'm at my limit forposts today, I'll post tommorow
Derp wrong size
@Supercraft888 here you go https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/mpUZ9A/For-SuperCraft888
K one min
@Supercraft888 Still don't hesitate to ask. I'll be glad to help.
@ThatOnion
Actually, can you mod a structural panel to be 0.25 times the normal size? That would be great
@ThatOnion
It's okay, I don't need it yet
Also i'm on android so I can help you with xml modding
