These look really good, I wasn't aware of some of these turret choices before. Great work. |

This is something that suddenly popped up from the deepest caverns of my memories. Back in 1978 or 1979 or so I bought me a copy of the German airplane magazine “FlugRevue” (Flight Revue). Inside I found an article introducing the newest ideas for cargo planes. Beluga-like hulls, container systems and – this one, named the “Air Loiter Vehicle”. The idea behind it was to transport voluminous goods, like construction machines, military vehicles or huge machinery not within a confined hull, but instead tied down on a flatbed. On the ground, the tail would have been lowered and the cargo be loaded by using a ramp. For sure, this concept was… let’s say: Not to smart. Everyone can imagine the turbulences around hydraulic excavators, caterpillars, tanks or similar, non aerodynamic cargo. I tried to find any kind of evidence about that thing on the internet – but failed. I can even imagine it was nothing but an April’s-Fool-Prank. Accordingly, this image is nothing but a piece of memory, kitbashed from pieces of Boeing 747 (wings), 767 (rudder, here V-shaped) and Airbus A300 (cockpit section). IMHO, this would be an aeronautic competitor to Heuhen’s weird ship challenge. ![[ img ]](http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/152/c/d/absurdia_air_loiter_vehicle_by_kimwolf12-d7klhso.png)
