An Ork Fighta-Bommer is the most commonly encountered Orkish aircraft, although the instinctive and haphazard construction skills of the Mekboyz prevent any form of standardisation. Most Fighta-Bommers are made of a fat body sporting many Gunz and a bomb bay to transport huge bombs or crude missiles, a pair of wings, large engines and little else. The whole contraption is more often than not painted red due to the Orkish belief that "Da red un' goes fasta!", and that it actually able to fly is as much a tribute to the Orks latent psychic power than to the Mek's skill.

abstract	An Ork Fighta-Bommer is the most commonly encountered Orkish aircraft, although the instinctive and haphazard construction skills of the Mekboyz prevent any form of standardisation.

On the field of battle, Fighta-Bommerz can be used in multiple roles, be it aerial support, interdiction or raiding, both in atmosphere and in space. Their efficiency as bomber and support craft is much higher than as dogfighter however: while their many Gunz allow them to throw a copious amount of firepower at their targets, the less than aerodynamic Orkish constructions often have poor maneuverability, which severely hampers them in a dogfight. A one-on-one duel between a Fighta-Bommer and an Imperial Navy, Tau Air Caste or Eldar interceptor is utterly uneven, hence the Orks tend to congregate in bands of aircrafts called "Skwadronz" (A bastardisation of the Low Gothic word "squadron") to support each other and overwhelm any opponent through sheer numbers. Additionally, as long as the Meks building and maintaining the Skwadron's craft survive, they can repair and/or build new planes from scratch on a much higher rate than other races, and often the Orks aerial opponents have been simply ground away through attrition despite impressive kill/loss ratios of more than ten to one.
