There's a topic that I rarely acknowledge (to myself) just how much I love, and it always sparks my imagination and curiosity - completely bat-shit insane aeronautical ideas from the first few decades after Wilbur and Orville did their thing. I've just seen this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.60 (via a post here that I now can't find!). 9 winged, 8 engined 100-seat flying boat. #aviation #flyingmachines #magnificentmen #uptiddlyupup #gits
