Those magnificent, Crazy, Almost non-Flying Machines!

Aeronautics has inspired some really crazy designs. Necessarily so since we were never really designed to fly. Many of the machines would never have left the ground even if built. They remained pipe dreams.
However, some of the really crazy designs did work. The contraptions did fly, after a fashion.

Here is a list of 25 curious looking air craft that flew.

    The Vought V-173, the "Flying Pancake" looks like as if its body design has been inspired from sting rays.
