Sachler Brus ScB-46

Legend: (L/R)= left and right, (Co-ax)= coaxial,

Overview
The Scb-46 is a Talkan made four engined heavy bomber, it was originally conceived as an armored transport aircraft. Due to the failures of its business partner Llenfair Doch at the "Omega bomber" project. The design undergoes major modifications due to it being suitable such as. Applying more powerful engines, installing more powerful armaments and maximizing its armor to fit the required criteria. The results were highly satisfactory since Talkan's top brass criticize it as an excellent bomber and was instantly put into service. In the eyes of the aviators, the ScB-46 is also a source of excellence since it was reportedly that an ScB once shot down 18 fighters in a single sortie and also many returning with severe damage. Giving it the status as the Talkan's "Flying battleship".

Design
The ScB-46 featured a wide body circular fuselage and a greenhouse styled nose for the bombardier, The cockpit is located on top of the fuselage and Its wings are swept in a blunt angle with dihedral placements. Its notable features consists of tricycle landing gears and a triple tail configuration for the stabilizers. It is also highly fortified with armor both in the fuselage and the control surfaces.

Performance
The ScB-46 is a bomber with great rudder, stabilizer and aileron control giving it high maneuverability for a heavy bomber due to Sachler-Brus' high expertise at manufacturing large aircraft. It is considerably fast for its size and featured fast rotating turrets for its already impregnable defense. Sachler-Brus also made the cargo capacity of the bomber unchanged, making it capable of carrying the heaviest of payloads. It's resilience is highly noted since it can still fly with one engine and can also tank severe amounts of punishment, even from high caliber fighter burst autocannons. Still, among its perfections, the bomber still has some drawbacks. The wings and the control surfaces are lightly armored, giving it high vulnerability to enemy fire and a glaring weakness. And the bomber also projected a large silhouette from its size. Making it very easy to swarm and flank. Another glaring fault, which is seen economically, that they are expensive to make (Each unit costs 4.32 million Len/ equivalent to 2.67 million USD post inflation) making its predecessor the ScB-44 a cheaper and a more reliable option.

Trivia
The ScB-46 was inspired by multiple real life aircraft such as :

-B-17 flying fortress for its status and turret placements

-Fw-200 condor for its fuselage

-B-29 superfortress for its size and engine nacelles

-Messerschmitt Me-264 for its wings

-Lockheed constellation for its triple tail stabilizers
