What the?????? :o
That is some serious Flying Frankenmonster. :shock:
To me it looks totally out of proportion,over engined, under winged and the prop tips came very close to striking the ground during ground maneuvers. Too bad it looks all empty inside!
But so damn COOL: 8)
Who has more info about it?

Perhaps not surprisingly, the YouTube caption confirms it's a computer-generated fake.

Though I like the little rails round the top 'deck' of the wing - a nice place to sit on a deck chair when flying along?

Not to mention it lacks an elevator on the tail. No pitch control.

Nice view, just a bit drafty I would think! And noisy!
Yip, once you read the bit about it being an animation, many things jump out at you. Smokeless radial engine startup, engine startup sounds being way outa sync with props, no propwash, proportions of fuselage, wings and engines, etc etc.
Still, cool idea and very well done.

I'm sure it's someone's "photoshop" project. You're absolutely right about the proportions. No elevator on the empennage.

My "Anybody know of a set of plans..." was just a bit of humor. I built an airplane once. It was a kit and a great period in my life. It had just enough baggage space for a tent, sleeping bag/pad and a tiny stove for coffee. Coat for a pillow. Some good camp outs on rural strips.
