Bomber

Bombers are fixed-wingflying machines that were originally depicted as being ofgnomish origin, butgoblins have now been shown to use them too. Many crash sites can be found aroundAzeroth where these machines have succumbed to their delicate builds.

InWrath of the Lich King, bombers were to be included assiege weapons inWintergrasp. They were based on the gnomish model with tandem seating and the upper wing being removed, the second seat replacing the boiler. A fighter plane based on the dwarvenflying machine was also planned. Both of these vehicles didn't make it out of the beta stage, although the edited model originally planned for the Wintergrasp bomber was reused in other occasions.

Sometimes the bomber models are also used for plain flying machines, as is the case withVic's Flying Machine, and sometimes even forgyrocopters, as is the case withBingles Blastenheimer's plane.
