AIRCRAFT







Aerospace engineers have come up with some revolutionary forward-thinkingamazing straight-up insane designs. Sometimes these dreams never make it off the drawing board, but sometimes—somewonderful times—they become real. And when these alien bodies lift off into the firmament, it's like watching a spaceship transporting the human race directly into the future. Check these amazing planes out:















Stipa-Caproni, an experimental Italian aircraft with a barrel-shaped fuselage (1932).
