Raina Garland and the White Bombshell

[Fires-storm]

Raina Garland is the pilot of the war plane White Bombshell. She grew up a normal young girl with dreams of the big city, and finally moved there in her 20's. One day working at a local night club, two Skypirates came in, and she was forever dragged into their world.

Above is just a bit of the back story behind the character, and now a bit about her aircraft.

The White Bombshell was developed in the late 1930's by Raina Garland and a squad of highly skilled engineers aboard the Skypirate fortress Dark Storm. She had it custom designed to her specifications, each time testing it to the limit, and adding better cannon, better engines, better wings, as much as she could.

Specs:

Speed: 400 MPH, aiming for higher yet.

Turning radius: Able to complete an 80 degree turn on a dime.

Armament: 4 50 Calibur machine guns, and 2 7MM cannon. Not scene here, as she currently has her plane set to racing specs.

Dive: Max dive speed is 600 MPH.

Climb: Can exceed 370 MPH.

On to the pics!

And now, on to the bird itself!

Thats Raina and her Warbird in a nutshell folks, hope you enjoy it!

Very nice plane, the all-white color scheme looks very clean and fresh, and just as 'bombshell' as its pilot. Very good job Fires-storm!

Thanks, glad you like it! the white paint is also grand camouflage for when you above the enemy against the clouds

This is well done! Nice and swhoosy. But where are the guns!?

Thats actually explained in the description She doesn't use any guns on her plane when its fitted for races, as the Skypirates like to win what money they don't steal from the Baron honestly Also, it is one of my most swooshy airplanes, as I pretty much put the strength of building a tank into a plane body to make it durable

Hello!

An interesting plane design. However, I am wondering where the rear wings are? Unless having delta-shaped wings, a plane of this kind should have rear wings for a stable flight. But we're in SciFi here, so I guess everything is allowed.

Cheers,

I'm glad you like the design, and as to the rear wing, the explanation is as follows: I figured out that if you made the ailerons advanced enough they could act as the main stabilization for the plane, rather then an extra body, and incorporate more steering into the base wing design. Also, since it is a sci-fi story I decided for what-the-hey power and went for what looked good rather then what is typically practical. Depending on my building mood my planes will have a tail wing, or not Thanks for the comment
