The Blackburn Botha
Throughout the greater World War II period, Blackburn suffered a series of humiliations, their next attempt following the Roc being another waste of effort. With a dual-engine system and fitted torpedoes, the Botha was a high-maintenance plane which required four pilots to be properly operated. Such overloading disabled its torpedo armaments and caused it to crash on numerous occasions.

The Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia
Anyone who looks at this plane can’t help but think of it as bizarre. The Brasilia suffered from a shaky turboprop engine that horrifyingly fell to pieces midair, taking fourteen lives with it. Despite having such a destructive track record and being considered to be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of passenger airlines, the Brasilia is incredibly still in operation as a freight plane!
