About This Course
Take off into the world of experimental aircraft with a course that explores some of the boldest, weirdest, and most futuristic planes ever imagined!
From dragonfly-inspired double-winged designs to rocket-powered vertical flyers, this episode dives deep into the science behind the strangest planes that pushed the limits of aviation.
Discover how unusual shapes, surprising wing placements, and vertical liftoffs helped engineers explore new ways to fight one of flight's biggest challenges—drag. In this adventure, we’ll explore the Miles M.39B Libellula and the SNECMA C.450 Coléoptère, and what they taught the world about the future of flight.
