The V-15 Retaliator features two jet engines on each wing with a pylon which can support more bombs, the fuselage is fairly standard other than the fighter jet like cockpit to control the plane, the bomber is 112 feet long with a wingspan of 120 feet, the bomber was also designed to be nuclear capable if it needed to carry nukes.
