105 years after the Wright brothers' air, dreamers, engineers and practitioners flight has designed a wide range of aircraft and a variety of research to make the plane go faster, fly higher and higher.
There are some innovative, some are good and some have made history, but there was also great just on paper only.
Here are 10 of the worst aircraft ever made:
1. TUPOLEV TU-144
Aircraft similar to the supersonic aircraft Concorde was the first Russian to reach speeds made March 2 (2 times the speed of sound), the aircraft which was dubbed "Concordski" is so quick but bad luck that hit barrage, three aircraft crashed one fall when action Paris Air Show 1973 which witnessed thousands of pairs of eyes.
A dramatic crash that the plane was eventually only used as a mail carrier aircraft by the Russian government, in 1985 the aircraft was off the air.

2. B.O.A.C. de Havilland Comet
COMET is the UK's first commercial jet aircraft as well as a pride of the English when first aired in 1949, but now only remembered as the plane was not safe to fly, of 114 produced 13 of them fell because of manufacturing defects for one of the metal material of the plane easily damaged.
3. H-4 Hercules
The "Spruce Goose" as the plane is a plane, dubbed the smartest and most large aircraft, but also the most waste which once belonged to the U.S. government.
With a wing span of 319 Feet in length, or about 97 meters the aircraft is expected to be used for World War II, but after World War II ended the aircraft has not been completed, after the aircraft was manufactured only flown one time only.

4. LWS-4 Zubr
ZUBR is a bad aircraft as well as useless, besides being uncomfortable when flying also be destroyed without warning while receiving high air pressure, not only that the plane was not able to fly when loaded with only a few cartons of cigarettes.
This aircraft had flown a few times when the World War II but was never involved in combat.

5. Christmas Bullet
A good name, a bad airplane, Dr. William Christmas forgetting one thing when designing aircraft, he did not know if this model airplane wing needs the support as a result when the maiden flight in 1918 the wing was shattered and fell.
This is what should have been a model aircraft that need the support and that is not:.

6. Beechcraft Starship
With carbon-composite construction, unique design and turbo engine behind, Starship is a new breakthrough, but the plane was too slow, difficult to fly and difficult to maintain.
The aircraft was aired in 1989 but only sold a few units of 53 pieces made.

7. Hiller VZ-1
Hiller VZ-1 looks good on paper but looks ugly in the air. The idea is simple, the fan spins and turns it generates thrust upwards, while the pilot controls the aircraft while standing.
U.S. Department of Defense in love with it but when the model aircraft flown above the speed of 16 Miles / h is difficult to control the aircraft to move here and there project eventually was terminated in the 1950s.

8. A-12 Avenger II
Aircraft project its U.S. Department of Defense is costly so big and extravagant, is also the most embarrassing project in the 1980s as a radar system that uses composite materials often does not work.
Research to improve these shortcomings simply make the cost of manufacture of the aircraft soared to $ 165 million / unit (about RP. 1.5 Trillion) project eventually was terminated by the U.S. defense secretary in 1991.
9. Royal Aircraft B.E.2
With a machine like anemia, poor maneuverability and gun positions that prevent pilots. The Germans easily shoot down planes in the battle of World War I.
10. Boeing XB 15
XB 15 is the largest aircraft ever built America than H-4 Hercules, the giant size of the bomber's even a bedroom for the crew on the wings. When tested in 1937, the aircraft was not able to fly long and only capable of accelerating the speed of 200 miles / hour, air force America to stop this project, then the aircraft was modified and only used as cargo planes as Boeing XB.(ar)
