747 hangarskip

[LN-MOW]

Et konsept som nok er ukjent for de fleste av oss, er at man en gang vurderte å utvikle en versjon av Boeing 747 som flyvende hangarskip. En skikkelig dronning med tenner.

So the Air Force figured, "What if we made jet fighters small enough to fit in the fuselage?"

The Air Force had already experimented with different methods of pairing bombers and fighters through the late 1940s to 1960s. But the only flying carrier was tested on the B-36 Convair. The Gremlin fighters that could fit in the bomber were too tiny and susceptible to turbulence, and pilots couldn't make the linkups work.
