Strange Aircraft

The Stipa-Caproni was an experimental Italian aircraft designed in 1932 by Luigi Stipa and built by Caproni. It featured a hollow, barrel-shaped fuselage with the engine and propeller completely enclosed by the fuselage - in essence, the whole fuselage was a single ducted fan. Although the Regia Aeronautics was not interested in pursuing development of the Stipa-Caproni, its design was an important step in the development of the Jet Engine

Actually the prop is not enclosed but seems to be a few inches in front of the opening. I wonder why they didn`t actually put it inside?

I think we all know the reason this design failed is because it looks fuckin stupid. There`s no graceful lines of a Spitfire, there`s no menace of the Bf-109, and none of the strength of a Warhawk. It just looks like your overweight, ugly mother-in-law.

"its design was an important step in the development of the Jet Engine" well the motor-jet engine anyway, nothing to do with the british jet engine invention thingy that is so popular these days.
