The Laurein B7M Raven is a Meridonian long range, low-observable strategic bomber slated to replace existing B6M3 models in use in the strategic strike role in the Meridonian Air Forces.
Much is unknown about the aircraft, which has been described as 'bleeding edge' by Defense Forces officials. It is known to have at least three internal bomb bays and make us of a air turboramjet engine for propulsion, and is capable of extremely high speeds. Its airfoil design as well as its engine is likely to be optimized for high-altitude and high-speed flights.
