While not apart of the aerocraft inventory special, this offer might be to good to pass up. HAD is offering up it's LRADO unit for sale to discerning buyers. Literally standing for Long Range Aircraft Defense and Offense, the " LRADO " is a formidable package adapt at multiple roles beyond just carrying cruise missiles.
HAD-8 LRADO
The LRADO is a large, four-engine turboprop powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the HAD-8 was put into service by The Principality in 1956 and is expected to serve the Aero Legions until at least 2040.
Commonly known by its WA designation, the "Moose" the aircraft has four NK-12 engines, each driving contra-rotating propellers. It remains the fastest mass-produced propeller-driven aircraft of The Principality and the only turboprop-powered strategic bomber to go into operational use. Its distinctively swept back wings are at 35 degrees, a very sharp angle by the standards of propeller-driven aircraft.
A naval development of the bomber is designated HAD-10A.
