10 Most Unusual Aircraft of All Time

Over the long period of existence of aviation, many amazing aircraft have been created, which sometimes amaze with their appearance and technical characteristics. They were used for a variety of tasks, and were really very popular. Today, we will show you the 10 most unusual aircraft of all time!

Most unreal aircraft of all time uses stock image of C2 hercules from Star Citizen for thumbnail

[disastergoblin]

Whew. Glad the C2 wasn't on this list. It's neither strange, an aircraft, or real.

[Gimpythekid]

weird that you couldnt find any footage of that 'plane' in the thumbnail thats totally not stolen concept art of a spaceship in a video game

[cantdestroyher]

People love this kind of content. Have the thumbnail be of one of these planes instead of some dumb clickbait and more people would watch

[generalgamermoments]

I watched this for the first time 27 seconds after it was posted and I’m watching it again😂

Burt Rutan's name is pronounced Roo tan' One of the best aircraft designers in history

[Yetipfote]

props to all the wild minds out there inventing fascinating stuff

[mcaardvark]

The Proteus is by far the most brilliant design.

[arkalpha]

That’s the Star Citizen’s C2 Hercules bro lmaoo

[brookrestall]

Burt Rutan has overall done more for aircraft design than any other aeronautical engineer.
Pronounced incorrectly in video, it's Roo-tan.
Don't miss his interviews and presentations on YouTube. They're outstanding.

Fairly good video but I was distracted by the narrator mispronouncing so many words including nacelles, Northrop, canard

[JohnFallot]

Mustard, watching this: Write that down! Write that down!

The Gruman X-29 made my 80's kid heart jump. I never knew the GI Joe Conquest was based off a real plane.

The Proteus looks like a graceful bird indeed

[seanbigay]

Pilots say, "If it looks right, it'll fly right." Of the ten planes shown in this video none looked more wrong, and flew more badly, than the Goblin. (Why else would they give it that name?) It proved almost impossible to dock the little monstrosity in its carrier's bay, and in any case the Goblin proved unable to match current-generation fighters in free flight, let alone combat.

Thenk you...The airocar I though was done by bell airspace. I know it was built and test up at bell at Niagara airport ..one of my relative lived in Tonawanda NY work at bell and worked on the projects...thank you.. stay safe..

[deejannemeiurffnicht]

that last one, proteus, was extremely strangely beautiful.

[zanglang]

The first jet engine propulsion aircraft flew in 1910, and it was built and flown by Henri Coandă. So, that Caproni barrel didn't open the way for anything like that.

[georgebarnes]

The Short Bros Maia and Mercury deserved a mention, a plane that takes of from a plane.

[KAmenshawn]

You've got footage of both competing tail sitters in there for a single aircraft...
