"It's a bird!, It's a plane! It's a boat!, No! its.... what the hell is that?" Built during the late 1920's right before the depression. A large luxury liner designed to overcome the problem of dirigibles exploding while also being faster and more agile. While in concept it was a good idea because it combined the familiarity of a large cruise ship with heavier than air... ideas. It uses an extremely complicated steam engine that uses belts to drive each propeller. and each propeller has a transmission behind it to "deliver a smoother acceleration." However building 14 belt driven transmissions that all work in sync is different at best. as a matter or fact everything on the plane is driven off of steam including the rudder, ailerons and elevator. So if the engine overheats or runs out of coal during flight all is lost. While being moderately successful and stealing any travelers that would otherwise go on a zeppelin. However in 1946 a belt for the bottom left transmission on the left side snapped, propelling shrapnel from the belt into other propellers that subsequently knocked out ever engine on the left side. luckily there was only one injury from an engineer getting scalded by the boiler after the plane listed to one side. the plane was scrapped in the early 50's
