Yes a Fuel Air Explosive is a bomb, but a very odd one. A Fuel Air Explosive can have the highest possible yield of any deliverable conventional weapon.

The bomb casing is just a large liquid fuel tank with fuse and a fuel atomizer unit (to create a fuel mist). When the fuse determines it should go off it activates the atomizer spraying all the fuel out forming a fuel mist that mixes with air. Then the fuse ignites the fuel, which explodes.

The first Fuel Air Explosive was used in Vietnam, a bomb called the Daisy Cutter, was designed to create instant helicopter landing zones in dense jungle.
