So, this plane is almost exactly 80ft long, has a wing area of approximately 1500 sq ft, MTOW of 140-145k lbs, EW of ~55k lbs, and is powered by two GE F110s. I decided to utilize the shorter length of the 110s and curved intake ducts to double the length of the weapons bay.
I’m sure it would be range overkill while having less self-defence capability than F-15E/F-16XL.
It might be correct to call this thing “FB-111H v.2.0: Electric Boogaloo”.

Also, how much internal fuel you all think it would fit inside without a weapon bay tanks?
Edit 21:16 Greenwich
Loadout here is four GBU-24B/Mk84 and two AIM-9L externally, plus whatever you imagine to fit inside the internal bay which has the same depth as in the normal Aardvark...
Also, what speeds it could reach if fitted with F-110-GE-400 or GE-132s? Would it go limited supercruise like F-16XL did?

Since the plane is 'Merican, I have decided to use Imperials instead of my normal Metrics.
350in=8.9m, 80ft=24.4m, 1500sqft≈140sqm, 55000lbs is roughly 25 tons. 140000lbs is 63.5 tons.
 
Also, what speeds it could reach if fitted with F-110-GE-400 or GE-132s?
With such air intakes, it will reach M = 2.1. For a bomber and this is a lot
Would that be at 12km and without external storages?
А эти 2.1 маха это на 12км и без внешних подвесов?
Also, will it churn out mach 1.1 at sea level?
Кстати, а вот мах 1.1 на уровне моря выдать сможет?
