Eight-launching giant wing craft used in Project Super Nova as a support craft.
Design Features
Giant bomber has a feature of a flying wing consisting of just a true wing section without a body or nose and the name suggests. This results in a large space under the wing, not only for missiles but mounting many fighter planes. Used as a mother ship to unmanned target drones during combat trials during Project Super Nova. Streamlined form with some irregularities keeps air resistance to a minimum and appropriate mobility even though it is large-sized. Aft-end of the wing bends inward toward the body to ensure stability of the aircraft. Irregularities allow for low radar reflection for excellent stealth performance. Four under-wing suspension hooks for fighters.
