Information: The story behind this aircraft is that it was the result of a bet between four major trade companies. Each founder were friends with the other, and they decided to hold a contest to produce the most magnificent flying machine ever seen. They all submitted prototypes that were ready for mass production, but none of them were able to fly.

The poorest member of the four then submitted the design for this aircraft, and all of his friends laughed at him. They called the machine impossible, aerodynamically impractical, and (ironically) a fool’s dream. What they didn’t know is that the design was already tested and proven to be capable of flight. Having the upper hand, the designer increased the stakes of the bet to include ownership and management rights to the other three companies. Naturally, they accepted.

And then lost the bet to this flying machine.
