The Worst Planes And Helicopters Ever Made
The Wright Brothers are probably the most well-known aircraft designers in history. They made many mistakes along the way, but there were plenty of other design failures that you’ve probably never heard about. Read on to see some of the worst military and commercial aircraft in aviation history and find out why they made the list.
