11 Insane Military Inventions You Won't Believe

9. Focke-Wulf Triebfluegel

The Focke-Wulf Triebfluegel (meaning "thrust-wing fighter") was a concept for an aircraft created by the Germans during World War II, in response to increased Allied bombing raids. The aircraft was unusual in that it had no wings, meaning all thrust and lift were provided by a rotating propeller between the tailplane and cockpit. Probably to the relief of every test pilot in Germany, the Focke-Wulf Triebfluegel never made it to production.
