EADS has had the idea to develop bomber aircraft through its EFW
conversion facility (former Junkers). Airbus 300-series conversion bombers would cargo drop smart APs, or AeroPallets armed with missiles and possibly other munitions. Another German idea is to drop a UCAV mothership that would launch a "swarm" of UCAV killvehicles into enemy airspace or against strong armored formations on the ground. Dornier also has a design for a wedge-shaped tactical bomber. But the most futuristic concept is the NiMet- a "Meta-bomber". This concept is way beyond anything the US has concieved for the as-of-yet undetermined B-3. Rob
