Presentation: November 2015

This month's AE presenter: Jeff
Date of presentation: 16-Nov-2015 (? - not sure, could be a week either way)
Subject: Strange Aircraft
Description: For this presentation, Jeff scraped the dust off an old favorite that he's given at least once before and which proved popular again this time.  Over the century plus that mankind have been building heavier-than-air craft, some designs have definitely worked out better than others.  This presentation "celebrates" some of the less-successful designs throughout aviation history.  Note that these are not necessarily all "bad" designs, although most of them were, and several had fatal flaws (literally) that resulted in spectacular failures.  But they were all unusual designs by today's standards.
