•These are some of the strangest airplane designs ever attempted
77% Informative
In the 120-plus years mankind has taken to the skies, thousands of airplane designs have been attempted.
Not every plane designed to fly actually did, but some of the strangest ones actually flew.
The Vought Vought-173 , a Vought Pancake , took its first flight in November 1942 .
The Nemeth Parasol has a single wing with a distinctive circular shape.
The Aerodyne was a vertical takeoff and landing craft with no wings but a prominent tail.
The Vought V-173 proved in more than 130 hours of flight operations that it was capable of near-vertical takeoff and landing.
The aircraft utilized two 80-hp Continental A-80 engines, each powering a single propeller.
The XF-85 was a parasitic fighter designed to fit into and launch from the bomb bay of the Convair B-36 bomber.
Only two were made and the project was ultimately canceled in 1949 .
