🗣️🎙️ FLAT FUCK FRIDAY!
#callsign gremlin checking in#gremlin’s things with wings#good Friday morning to Northrop’s XB-35 experimental heavy bomber!#it would take its first flight on June 25 1946#172-foot wingspan with swept wings#eight contra-rotating propellers#while great in concept frequent issues with the props would doom the XB-35 to an early death#14 prototypes (including 1 experimental version) would be made by the end of the project#the XB-35 may look familiar—the angle and breadth of its wings are near-identical to the B-2 which would come decades later
