The Zeppelin-Staaken R VI was truly an awe-inspiring sight, a testament to the ambitious and innovative spirit of the age. It boasted a wingspan of around 42.2 meters (138 feet) and a length of 22.1 meters (72 feet), dwarfing many contemporary aircraft.

The Kalinin K-7 was a Monster Made of Soviet Steel. The experimental bomber aircraft was developed in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. It was designed as a heavy bomber reinforced with multiple machine gun turrets but the designs also imagined the plane could double as a commercial airliner with modifications.

Much like other experimental Soviet designs, the K-7 was planned with size in mind and the result was a giant, hulking machine that defied imagination at the time.

A prototype Spitfire floatplane, one of only five of its type created during WWII. This was based on a Mark IX, and was intended for use in the Pacific. With a top speed of just under 380 mph, it was the fastest floatplane of the war. It first flew in June 1944, but the idea didn't catch on and the project was cancelled.
