Then it didn't have enough lift so they added more wings.

Lisias Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) FMA IS 36 Condor. An 1950's airliner project with 5 engines.. inside the tail. Never passed the mockup stage, however. What may be a good thing after all, as having 5 jet engines confined in a small space appears to be less than a good idea... POST EDIT MOAR INFO. Edited April 14, 2021 by Lisias better image.

These guys at that time knew each other (there were not too much aircraft designers around). The designs are too similar to be just a coincidence, IMHO - there must be some project from someone else on the war in which both guys (from FW and from ME) must had know about. Or not - sometimes, some ideas just happens more than once at the same time... 1 hour ago, Starhelperdude said: also, hehehe, the ''Triebflügel'' from Focke-Wulf Beautifully kerbal!

Space Kerbalisation Tech Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 there has been several "moar booster" style designs, such as the UR-700 the "otrag" clustered monstrosity contraption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTRAG_(rocket) http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/z/zotrstg.jpg one of the most "kerbal" designs is definitely the sea dragon. i mean, what on earth are the engineers trying to launch with this thing? an astroid or artificial moon??? and this one just is an aircraft designer's nightmare.
