The efficiency of an aircraft generally comes down to cross section, weight and engine efficiency. None of which would apply to that thing. The exposed cables for control add an interesting design element as well. Can someone give a basic translation of the text? Three stairways and a lot of empty space... Was this intended as a cartoonist's joke creation or did someone seriously intend to fly that monstrosity?

i believe that they are actually antenna. this a 40's design afterall.... probably long wave and short wave...

I think the cables are simply for stabilisation of the construction.

769....

 

[comradekingu]

There is the 770 too, but its not as cool as the SSK which porsche built. I think he did something called a 350k too, which i couldnt find pictures of.

For thise not content with the levels of strange mental concoctions offered in the große-mercedes, this is the
amphicar 770.

ALL the boings.

I have zero faith in the left engine.

778 Not a good year for franks. Saxons rampant. An ok synth dies.

• • A Frankish army (supported by Burgundians, Bavarians, Bretons, Lombards, and Visigoths) under king Charlemagne invades Al-Andalus (modern Spain) but is halted at Zaragoza in the thughur or frontier zone of the Emirate of Córdoba. During the retreat, Charlemagne is defeated by the Basques at Roncevaux (Pyrenees). Among those killed is Roland, governor of the Breton March, this give rise to the 11th-century epic Song of Roland. Beginning of medieval French literature.
  • Saxon Wars: Widukind and his close followers returns to Saxony from Denmark. He probably makes alliances with the Danes and the north-western Slav tribes. Saxon 'rebels' destroy the fortress of Karlsburg and sack Deutz (near Cologne) but are unable to cross the Rhine. They are driven back by the garrison of Koblenz, but then ambush and defeat the Frankish pursuers. Counter-attacking Frankish forces pursue the Saxons up the Lahn Valley and defeat them near Leisa.[2]
• Saxon raiders destroy many churches deep in Frankish territory.

For 777 I wanted to do a picture of the Las Vegas Fry's electronics but it never actually lands on 777

Back hatch opens.

I wish Polaroid film was still affordable instead of the overpriced Impossible stuff.

Heil PR781 what a beauty.

Yeah, no idea what that pack retailed at, but I think it says it contains 30 exposures (possibly 80, but that seems unlikely for the apparent size of the box). Nowadays you only seem to be able to buy boxes of 8 at around $2 per exposure. Pfft, hipsters!

Anyway, we're now at a new number, that being:

Edit: Whoops, duplicate. At least you can see the number on this one I guess.

All aboard!
