De Havilland Comet
The De Havilland Comet ended in a huge devastating explosion and turned out to be nothing more than an absolute waste of funds and creation time! The Comet was the world’s first commercial jet airliner but turned out to be quite a failure in the end. It did however have some redeeming qualities, even if it did become the main example of aeronautical failures, setting an example of what not to do in the future!

The Devil’s Hoverbike
We have previously mentioned that The American Army seemed to be an experimental lot! Always experimenting in engineering new airplanes. Hoverboards were one of the inventions back then as the single-manned chopper airplane. The purpose of this design was to allow soldiers to stealthily glide behind enemy lines but it turns out that it was quite silly as the soldiers had no protection from the enemy as it was basically a flying saucer and a small misstep or unbalanced move would end in soldier-chowder! I do wonder how many testers succumbed to this dreadful experiment!
