Like all Ork aircrafts, Fighta-Bommers take-off using a launch trolley. After being loaded with bombs, the aircraft is put on a trolley and pulled onto the runway, where it accelerates until take-off speed is achieved. The launch trolley then detaches and crashes to the ground. Landing manoeuvres are accomplished by slowing the aircraft down until it almost stalls and then touching down with the reinforced belly on the runaway in a barely controlled skid. A landing hook drags along the ground to bring the aircraft to a complete halt.{{Fn|11}}
Individual Fighta-Bommers vary widely in design from aircraft to aircraft. One massive example, flown by [[Uzgob]], is 110 feet long, with a wingspan of 170 feet and a weight of 78 tons unladen. Even though its fuel type is unknown, it has a range of approximately 1800 ikm. This Fighta-Bommer can carry a payload of 6000 lbs of wing-slung explosives, 2 to 4 wing-mounted heavy cannons and 2 to 4 air-to-air rockets and is armed with two nose-mounted heavy cannons.{{Fn|12}} At least some {{PAGENAME}}s are capable of spaceflight, and act as [[Ork]] [[Attack Craft]] in fleet battles.{{Fn|10}}
