Has a lot more character and style than when it was new. With that corrugated construction, think of all the pleasant parallels: barn and house roofs, Ford Trimotor, Junkers Ju52, Citroën H van….

Some of you may have seen this, or at least the top image and not a collage.

I got to fly in a Ford trimotor. That was pretty cool.

That is amazing. Never flew in one, but got to get inside one at an antique air show about 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, it seemed like the seats were more like kitchen chairs bolted to the floor. Was the one you were in like that ? Also got to see the propeller powered flying wing from the early 40's ( by Northrop Corp.) fly over the show and the pilot really put it through it's paces. Antique planes are something else.

Radial engines are the best, and a close second is rotary, like Sopwith Camel rotary.

Hey, do the youths like the Cybertruck? I was wondering if there was an age gap wherein it is considered cool, bad___, futuristic… and it appeals to them, like a lot. I think they are quite ugly but I hear they just go-o-o as those motors spool up

You say rotary and I think of a wankel.
The sopwith still used a radial design. Just backwards. The crank shaft was stationary with the fuselage, while the bock and cylinder were rotating with the propeller.
Made for a hard to lube engine that just leaked.
Also made flying hard because of the added p factor. Basically a large gyroscope up front.

Checkout the storch for a wierd engine. It has an inverted V. This kept the crank and prop up higher for ground clearance.
Musselini was rescued from a strong hold with one of those.
