Constructed in 1918 by Doctor William Whitney Christmas, the Bullet, aka the Cantilever Strutless Biplane, is believed by many to have been the worst aircraft ever built. Dr. Christmas believed that an aircraft's wings should be more flexible and flap like a birds. However, on his aircraft's first, last, and only flight, the wings peeled off the fuselage and the machine crashed, killing the pilot. The man behind this monstrosity is now generally thought of as a con man who had no grounding on reality whatsoever, as well as a lack of experience in auronautic design.
Note: Ironically, this model actually flies much finer than the actual aircraft.
