Note the pic with the underbelly exposed. A rare view.

The French made plenty of strange looking planes

 

[vikingBerserker]

That certainly was an odd one.

You really have to try hard to make an aeroplane look that ugly. Did this kite inspire Hanna-Barbera for some of the contraptions flown by Dick Dastardly's motley crew?

Hey Wurger, were you laughing like Muttley? Really should have sound effects for some of these icons.

 

[Snautzer01]

If you would know ww1 planes you could see where the inspiration came from. Seriously.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Well that's one way to build an airplane!

 

[Gnomey]

Good shots! Thanks for sharing.

I've often wondered what sort of thinking (or maybe drinking!) was behind some of the French designs of the period. How on Earth some of these shapes ever got to the drawing board (maybe they didn't, judging by some, probably just built from visualisation!), let alone built, is a real brain-buster !

The front end doesn't look too bad. It's that really weird tail that causes the problem. It almost looks like they forgot it and then bodied a solution by putting the tail surfaces onto a thick plank which they then nailed onto the fuselage.

I simply can't imagine the rationale for such a design. It doesn't even look aerodynamic….and such things still had some importance, even for biplanes.

Breguet was notorious for building aircraft with that odd "beam" style aft fuselage.

Some time ago - while watching the start of the 1965 movie, The Liquidator - there is an introductory scene of Paris being liberated and then the camera looks skyward - I'm positive they're 270's....
