Randomguy Posted August 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2018 Seriously, just wtf??? Who designs an airplane that you can't see out the front of, and who thinks that it is a good idea to use, you know, in flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted August 14, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2018 ...that was so he could fill it up with extra fuel in the front. The whole airplane was a ginormous set of fuel tanks, that could be adjusted for weight balance. They used to have that sucker hanging in the Smithsonian Air and Space museum front hall. Not sure if it's still there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's still there. It was there five years ago, that much I know. There is a replica in the Henry Ford Museum. I've seen them both.
