The Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bomber is the standard torpedo bomber of the SDF. Cleared for carrier take offs and landings, the Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bomber is not used in this capacity by the SDF-Navy Aviation Command, but as a land-based torpedo bomber.
With the first flight in 1937, the production contract was awarded shortly later and production is in full swing.

Giodróg means minx.

Design
The Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bomber is an all-metal, low-wing constructed aircraft powered by a single Monarcha Gaoth Engine, a two row, 14-cylinder air cooled radial engine. It is a highly reliable aircraft, easy to maintain and to operate.
Self-sealing fuel tanks assure, that the Giodróg doe not burst into flames at the slightest hit – a highly important factor for a relatively lightly armored aircraft such as this, fast and capable of outrunning enemy fighters with ease. She is highly maneuverable due to Fowler Flaps and constant speed propellers. A retractable carriage assures, that the maneuverability of the Giodróg is not marred, while an arrestor hook enables landings on small airstrips or carriers. For easier storage, the wings can be folded up.
The pilot has a free and nearly unhindered look at the world around him and especially in front of him, looking from a closed cockpit forwards with the navigator directly behind him, back to back.
Armed with two forward firing machine guns and one machine gun in dorsal position, the Giodróg can defend itself if necessary, but we recommend not making it necessary in the first place. The aircraft can also be used as a ground-attack aircraft, capable of carrying either a torpedo or 800 kg of bombs or, as we are currently testing, a certain amount of rockets.

Pricing
One squadron of 10 Monarcha M-16 Giodróg Torpedo Bombers, including spare parts for six months of combat service: 1,000,000 NSD.
