History
The XB-27 is a Heavy Bomber developed by Major industries during World War 2 in response to the Heinkel He 274 Heavy Bomber being developed by Germany.
The plane needed to have a Massive bombload of 30,500lb of bombs
and the ability to drop atomic weapons, a takeoff weight of 60,000lb, and the ability to use unpaved runways due to the increasing threat of Germany bombing Allied airfields.
First flight
The prototype 1 labeled XB-27a1 first flight took place on October 15 1945 with Pratt & Whitney R2800 engines and was followed with prototype XB-27a2 which took flight on December 23 1945 with R4360 engines due to the previous engines producing insufficient power.
The program cancellation and crash
The entire program was cancelled due to the crash of the first prototype due to an uncontained fire of the No. 2 engine resulting in the death of 3 people.

I downloaded it in my phone rn and I decided to do these if you confirm too
1: I'll change the shape slightly, not much
2: I'll try to improve landing gears with realistic landing gear doors etc
And I may try to improve turrets
