The Noviplano
The Noviplano was an exceptionally interesting aircraft that was designed in the early days of aeronautics by the legendary Italian engineer Caproni during the 20s. Unfortunately, the Noviplano didn’t make it out f Italy even though its main goal and purpose were to safely fly one hundred passengers from Italy it the land of plenty, America. The huge aircraft had almost ten engines and wings and was doomed to be a colossal failure from the start.

The Blackburn Roc
The Blackburn Roc was a British World War II-era fleet air arm fighter plane which was designed by Blackburn Aircraft, its sole purpose was to defend other more vital fighter planes by acting as a physical shield when coming under enemy fire. The design had a few flaws one of them being that the four machine guns were fitted directly behind the pilot. The aircraft became exceptionally heavy due to all the artillery to the point where it actually became a liability due to its sluggishness. The Royal Navy eventually banned its delivery and shut the project down with immediate effect. Another disappointing fact is that through the whole span of WW2 The Blackburn Roc defeated a single enemy aircraft.
