The CB-F10000 is the most powerful bomb in the inventory of the Cairhienen Corporation. It is a Fuel Air Bomb, meaning that it disperse fuel in the air, and then ignites it creating a high pressure area on the ground beneath it, followed by a vacuum to pull the air back in that was pushed out by the overpressure. The CD-F10000 weighs 10,000 lbs when loaded, and takes up 4 consecutive 2,500 lb bomb hardpoints. The only plane in the Cairhienen inventory capable of carrying it is the CB-10. The explosive yield is approximately equivalent to 7 tons of TNT (~1/2,000,000 of the Hiroshima blast)

The bomb in tests was capable of flattening an area of approximately 15 city blocks(75 acres, or 3,267,000 square feet). This would be a circle with a radius of a bit less than 1/5 of a mile, or about 1,000 feet.
