Main features:
- Three all-flying surfaces are used for bomb control
- New aerodynamic design encompasses an increased lift-to-drag ratio of 8
- The optimal angle-of-attack for maximum lift-to-drag ratio is 8 degrees
- The minimum range is 15,8 km (the minimum release altitude is 2.000 m, the minimum release speed is 52 m/s)
- The maximum range is 60 km (the maximum release altitude is 7.620 m, the maximum release speed is 9 m/s)
-Maximum vertical dive speed at sea-level is 206,9 m/s
