The Baade 152
Hailing from Germany, the Baade 152 emulated a bomber plane, fitted with features which would have suited one perfectly, while strangely being geared toward airline objectives. The 152’s test run would be a tragic disaster, where everyone on board perished. This anomaly was scrapped in 1961, being the sole aircraft to be produced by East Germany.

No one can deny that developing aircraft during their early days were challenging. However, by the time technology reached the 1970s one would expect that we’d reached a stage where leading airlines would know their tails from their wings. The Rockwell XFV-12 showed this hope to be misplaced. Despite being creatively designed, it thankfully never left the earth.
