Great Monoplane Built Inhabited Wing Principle
A great monoplane built on the "inhabited wing" principle. In this type of "wing-only" plane, passengers, crew, freight, engines and fuel were all accommodated in the thick wings instead of in the fuselage. The aircraft was designed as a long distance freight-carrier rather than a passenger plane. From The Wonder Book of Science, published 1930's

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable feat of engineering from the 1930s - a great monoplane built on the innovative "inhabited wing" principle. Unlike traditional aircraft, this unique plane housed passengers, crew, freight, engines, and fuel within its thick wings rather than in a separate fuselage. The result was an extraordinary design that prioritized functionality over conventional aesthetics. Originally intended as a long-distance freight carrier rather than a passenger plane, this magnificent aircraft represented the cutting-edge technology of its time. Its purposeful construction allowed for efficient transportation of goods across vast distances. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into the early days of flight when aviation pioneers were pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities in aerial transportation. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress throughout the 20th century. Preserved in archival quality, this picture captures not only an exceptional piece of machinery but also embodies the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined an era.
