In my first post I included an image of the mad Lun Ekranoplan, I came across this image when doing research for my Gurus and Grass Hoppers brief (to design and then build in 3DS Max a space ship). During this research I found many other mad experiments.
Messerschmitt 323- The Largest land based aircraft of WW2, the front split down the centre revealing enough space for a large truck.
Bartini Beriev VVA-14- An Amphibious Russian jet plane, capable of high altitude flight and efficiently using "surface ground affect" to fly just above an expanse of waters surface. Also it doesn't even look like a plane.
Miles M93B experimental aircraft
Lockheed XFV- Designed to take off and land vertically onto its tail. Designed for use on aircraft carriers.
Mcdonnel XF-85 Goblin- Designed amazingly to be diploid from the bomb bay of a bomber.
Nasa X29
The Russian K7 concept- This is an exaggeration of a mythical aircraft from the 1930's.
The Mil V-12- The Largest Helicopter in the world
Vought V 173
All of these planes come from a time of aeronautical engineering when we were still trying to fined the optimum design for flight,thus anyone of these mad ideas could have been the next big break through.
