Instructor
In this lesson, we explore some of the strangest, boldest aircraft designs ever flown — from a round “Flying Pancake” to an egg-shaped jet launched mid-air, and even a massive wing without a tail. These designs might look wild, but they all share one goal: fight drag and fly better. You’ll learn how engineers use shape, lift, and clever ideas to make even the oddest planes soar.
Get ready to discover the creative innovations that push the boundaries of aviation. Each design comes with its own unique story and purpose, showcasing the ingenuity behind modern flight.
This course includes 2 modules, 5 lessons, and 2:00 hours of materials.
You’ll discover how some of the most unusual planes ever built used their strange shapes to reduce drag and improve flight. From a tiny fighter stored in a bomber to a bomber that was a wing, we’ll explore how each aircraft handled the four forces of flight—and why these experiments still influence modern aviation today.
