Odot Industries B-52 Stratofortress

The Odot Industries B-52 Stratofortress is a Yuktobanian long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Odot Industries, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the Commonwealth Air Force (COMAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70000 lb of weapons, and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) without aerial refueling.

Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Odot Industries B-29. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used; informally, the aircraft has become commonly referred to as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fella/Fucker).
