Ahhh so true.

     It was also designed as a second ARK, the Hull design coming primarily from thought to be lost blueprints made by Noah.  That's why it's made of wood after all.

     Little known as well, is that with the wings removed it competed in the 1921 Olympics in the 800man scull class, although it lost to the space shuttle.

It never did any practical flying... It was only flying on ground effect when it flew for the first and last time
