The Baade 152
The Baade 152 also known as the Dresden 152, was a post-war airliner hailing from Germany. This aircraft was named after German aeronautical engineer Brunolf Baade, the principal designer involved in the project. The 152 mirrored a bomber plane, fitted and fixed with features that would have suited a bomber perfectly, whilst it was strange being geared towards airline objectives. The 152’s test run would turn out to be a tragedy, where everyone on board perished. This abnormal project was scrapped in 1961, being the only aircraft to be produced by East Germany.

The Rockwell XFV-12
The Americans seemed to be a group of scientists, as they were always experimenting. The Rockwell XFV-12 was one of these experiments, it was a prototype supersonic US Navy fighter plane that was developed in 197. It is undeniable that developing any aircraft in the early days was very difficult and we can assume that that is why there were so many experiments. In the 70’s one would have expected that the designers would reach a point to know what is good for a plane but unfortunately this was not the case and the Rockwell never left the Earth, even though it looked like something fit to be in a Star Wars movie.
