Convair Model 49

Interesting design. Like the comments at the end, what if the design was updated with modern, more powerful engines, composite materials, computer controlled fly by wire.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...&cvid=cea10b3d3af44ab1ae7a85d4da6799b3&ei=113

To be honest it reminds me of an updated version of the Focke-Wulf Triebflügel, interesting designs but largely impractical.

Takeoff and landing:- major issues
The design:- Interesting
