10 Most Bizarre Experimental Airplanes Of Post WW2
« on: April 05, 2011, 04:28:23 PM »
Im sure many of you will haev seen several of these already but there are a few that I hadnt heard of. The Inflatplane is one of them, i also found the sea dart to be very interesting. Either way browse through it and see if there is something you haven't seen before.

Cool site, although the info on the Sea Dart is wrong, (states "the" prototype, i figure they mean only 1 prototype made)

 Theres one on static display at Willow Grove NAS

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

I am somewhat skeptical that all 10 of the "most bizarre" experimental aircraft of post WWII were American.  Seven or eight of the ten I would not be shocked, we're pretty damn creative, but I would be surprised if nobody else managed to slip one in there too.
