Mankind’s fascination with flying didn’t end after the first airplanes were constructed. Trying to push the limits of what we thought was possible in terms of flying machines, we came up with incredible ideas for how the aircrafts of the future should look like. Needless to say, not all of the aircrafts that were envisioned managed to rise to the expectations, while some of these concepts were downright ludicrous.

After a fatal crash, the project was canceled, but not before it became the first seaplane to break the sound barrier.
