The Noviplano
Going back to the early days of aeronautics, the Noviplano was designed by legendary Italian engineer Caproni during the 20s. Initially designed to safely fly a hundred passengers from Italy to America, the Caproni did not make it out of Italy. This colossal oddity was fitted with almost ten engines and wings, doomed to be a failure from the beginning.

The Blackburn Roc
The Blackburn Roc’s purpose was to act as a shield for other more vital planes when coming under enemy fire. Directly to the pilot’s rear were fitted four machineguns. This aircraft became immensely weighted to the point where its sluggishness defeated its purpose. The Royal Navy banned its delivery and shut the project down. Throughout the entirety of World War 2, the Blackburn Roc solely defeated a single aircraft.
