Strange looking aircraft.
I really don't know where to post this so mods feel free to move if you have a better idea. It's a fascinating series of shots of weird looking aircraft, or strangely modded a/c.
I'm not even sure if posting like this will work, it's a .ppt.

sabredog,
Those images presented as the Kalinin KA-7 in the powerpoint has been doing the rounds for a number of years. It is just computer graphics. It was a series of computer generated images that appeared in a circular e-mail. Ever since they have been presented as 'real'.
Russian K-7 Heavy Bomber Images
The actual K-7 design.

Thank you,TJ,and yes, and I was aware of the CGI/computer montages of the "K-7" doing the rounds,as it were.
I misread Carpetonian's post,and did not realise that we were being asked for our choice of unusual designs. Apologies,so I have deleted the #post so as not to confuse the issue. Should be a good thread,though.

Exascot,
I have the last 3 versions (93, 97 and 2010) of PowerPoint on my computers and I can't open the file, not even in pps.
How did you open it?????

It opens on my laptop, and on our other computer, I checked .... with 'Open Office' as I'm too mean to pay for MS Office! So I don't know why you can't open it. If you PM me with your email address I'll email it to you although I suspect that won't solve the problem.

HHA Eng, I think red flying boat is a Caproni of some sort - perhaps a replica?

A quick Google reveals all - via Wikipedia. Just type TAM aviation Brazil - or similar clues

Aviate, thanks for that couldnt remember what it was apart from it was such an ugly machine but looking at the wiki information quite a remarable one in its day holding many records for height and speed and the first crossing of the South Atlantic.
