Myasishchev M-30
Yes, my schedule is very inconsistent, life's being hard.
Here is another bomber project finished in several days of work. The M-30 is a lesser-known project of V.Myasishchev, which was supposed to output a very fast and capable strategic missile carrier powered by nuclear engines. Very little information about the aircraft exists, and only several low-detail blueprints can be found, so a lot of interpretation was required.
Steers like a normal plane, has funky custom landing gear, custom Kh-45 missiles for anti-ship duties, and trimmable horisonal stabilizers in the front for easier flying. While differing from the original weapon loadout, this version is mostly a "what-if" interpretation.
For easier hull shaping I used my previously built M-50. The fuselage wing design is unlike that on the M-50 or the M-20 that I've built, as it's too time-consuming for me. The smoke is supposed to represent the steam coming out of the hot nuclear reactors. It can be turned off with AG8 if you have performance issues. Do not climb past 20km if you want a semi-realistic performance, and do not overuse the afterburner!
Several mods are required to fly this aircraft.
