Development

Designed for a need for a bomber smaller than the Zokesian Z-5 Naval Bomber, and larger than Fighter-Bombers such as the Z-90, or NW-25 Cheetah not requiring the supersonic speeds needed of such aircraft the Atreian Air Force initially sent out bids for a new light bomber in the mid 2160s following the outbreak of the Belkan Civil War and the deficit of aircraft. Two designs from Northwind and Odyssey Industries were submitted however due to the lack of progress on the design from Odyssey, the Atreian Air Force granted Northwind the contract for the new light bomber to Northwind's NW-26.

With the first prototype named "P1" finished in March 2167, problems were noticed immediately including unbalanced
