Hi,


From Modern Mechanix magazine,here is a very huge ocean airliner and
a modern autogyro.

Really odd concept.

I remember some fanciful design from THE SCIENCE OF SCIENCE FICTION, that had a banner that read:
"Thus returns Hartmann the Anarchist."

-from AIR WONDER STORIES?

From Western Aviation 1944.

From Aero Digest 1927

Here's a very strange concept,please have a look.

Nuclear powered, with two swimming pools, bowling alleys and a cinema. Prove me wrong (though it might be a fantasy).

It's so weird idea; Landing from non-stop air express.

Why not?

 

[Arjen]

It might work if you don't try to get it airborne. Or sail it in anything more challenging than a moderate breeze. Indoors.

Well, that has also been tried in the air.

6.jpg reminds us of the Loening Flying Yacht also known as the Model 23 which won the Collier Trophy in 1921. That 4-seater set speed and altitude records. Powered by a 400 hp. Liberty L-12. A total of 16 were built.

Haven't a clue what it is beyond being an aircraft but it makes interesting art.
