One of artist Edgar Wittmack's spectacular Popular Science covers, this plane was on the cover in June of 1933. It features a massive flying wing with ducted engines and was a precurser to what was supposed to be the massive planes of the future. Sadly this plane was never built in real life but I did my best to build it as acurrately as I possibly could. It is a bit unstable beacuse of the low speed it fly's at. Enjoy! Please rate and leave suggestions about how to improve my builds!

@ImmortalAircraft No problem. I enjoy seeing new starters trying out large ideas, it reminds me of myself.
OUTSANDING!
Thank you! @TheOwlAce and yes that is true I will take that into account on my later planes, thanks so much for the feedback!
A few suggestions though; you can make the wheels turn and larger control surfaces would be nice.
I love popular science
Wow! I love early flying machines, and this is just great. Awesome work, youre getting a follow from me.
