When I said ‘might have’, that was a real stretch LOL.

I originally thought this was one of many Photoshopped humor articles until I googled the Ant-20

Howard Hughes had issues, but he never designed anything that looked like that.

Fair amount? It looks like trying to drag a large barn door down the road with your Ford pickup. That ain't gonna fly - he$$ it won't even hover.

I’m thinking of Bruce McCall’s “1958 Bulgemobile” from National Lampoon when it was a funny magazine.

So, how many engines does it have to have to keep flying? Just curious to how easy it would be to shoot it out of the sky.

[PapaBear3625]

I’m not an aviation expert, but my first thought was that I wonder if this thing could float because it sure doesn’t look like it would fly.

Most of the article pictures are PhotoShopped. There was a Kalin K-7, but no it did NOT have battleship gun turrets like some of the pics above.

It looks odd, but I recall reading about some Russian bomber in the 30’s that flew non-stop to the US, and landed here. It created a bit of a stir,as might be imagined.

Now you know why the Soviets had the steal all of their airplane designs, look what they came up with on their own.

Yeah, elipse wing planes and women’s mud wresting photos all in one website. How can you go wrong here?

[Thrownatbirth]

I wondered where Hi-Flier got those aircraft designs.

"with your Ford pickup"

I don't have a Ford pickup, but when I do, it will look something like this:

Speaking of strange photos on this site:

If this could have only been released during the Cold War!

Oh, tovarish Brezhnev, how are you? I can see that you are doing fine in blazing Hell.
