Vought V-173 was an expiremental air craft the United States Air Force came up with. Also referred to as the "Flying Flapjack" this beauty never saw combat and was never put into full production. It remains as one of the weird ideas that came during the WW2 time frame. Enjoy

    Haha I was looking at weird aircraft to build and this one kind of took the cake. The other one I'm looking at making is the XF-85 Goblin.
