i feel like having a record setting airplane "spree" at moments 😁
Next build up..... The worlds first plane to take a direct flight between Europa and Soth America ( Paris - Buenos Aires, Jan-1933 ) Started a
regular mail run to South America in May 1934. From 24 July that year there was a regular monthly crossing with mail or/and passengers.
Its design posed numerous challenges and pushed the bounds of aeronautical understanding at that time. It had a relatively
high level of fineness, which was a somewhat controversial design choice at that time; the resulting aircraft being
relatively difficult and expensive to fabricate. One positive result of the high fineness rate was the aircraft's ability to
climb with only two of its three engines operational; or maintain horizontal flight with only one running engine.
The two wing mounted engines could be accessed in flight through tunnels in the wing, who had a quite thick airfoil style. (1m high tunnel inside)
The tapered rear of fuselage gave its distinct tailstyle, more like a whale, a style only the Couzinet´s airplane had.
My version is built with two motors and the center one fake. 1400mm wingspan and 1050mm long.
