hhahhahahahahahahahah holy crap you are kidding me right lol :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

I honestly don't see what is so funny.  Aviation history are full of unusual flying  designs  intended intended as test beds, this plane isn't any different.  If it wasn't for planes like this, aviation would still be in the cradle and wouldn't have advanced as fast as it has.

Im sure we will all agree on one thing. That is if we never had these weird and funny looking planes we would never be where we are today with aircraft.
Remember since 1930's weird and funny planes have been used to test top secret new design's. Now for instance the chief designer at Mistokian ( MIG ) In Russia in 1944 designed a practically useless plane that only 4 where bought and used to ferry high ranking Officers About Russia. When in actual fact he designed it as a test plane for the wing design of the Mig 15 jet fighter. :) And it was a weird looking plane. I will try to find a photo of it and add it to this post :)

Are you talking about the Mig8 Prop aircraft? I know it was an experimental that wasn't meant for combat or anything, but I didn't know it was used to do any transport.

If you're into interesting pre-war/WW2 Italian ducted fan experimentals you'll prolly love this one... it even had an afterburner :
