While there have been bad designs and the like, there has been no other plane constructed that was as bad as the Christmas Bullet.  It was so bad that it was completely and totally incapable of flight that it was criminal to allow someone to actually get in and test fly it.  It never really flew, the wings would wrap themselves around the plane as soon as the plane would lift off the ground.

I had a feeling you were thinking of the Bullet. That thing popped up in a "what the heck is this?" thread a couple of years ago. "Dr." Christmas ( a totally BS title he apparently gave himself) was certainly no Kelly Johnson, knew absolutely nothing about aircraft design, and would have done the world a great service if he'd tried to fly that disaster himself. At least some of Ron Popeil's junk actually worked.  :D

Beat me to it Milo.... the maneater.  Pretty cool plane.  I still think the CA-60 takes the cake.  The fraud the little christmas plane is seems insignificant next to that monster.  Hell worst plane ever built economically speaking would be the Hughes Herc....  Killed a ton o' pilots relative to the number produced... maybe the Gee Bee R.

Hey Joe,

Somewhere I've got video of a 1/10 scale flutter model of that beast in the wind tunnel. complete with motorized wing tilt & props. Pretty cool.
