| De Havilland DH-91 Albatross |
| United Kingdom, 1937 - The Albatross
is regarded by many as the most beautiful airliner design ever built.
Nice lines, thin wing and engine nacelles and a twin tail form the
basis of this opinion. Although conceived as an airliner, the first
aircraft served as trans atlantic mail planes. The all wood stressed
skin construction resulted in the very thin wing, as it was done for
the first time with the DH-88 racer. There have been reports of structural
weaknesses in the fuselage, but the aircraft is said to have been
serving the mail routes, airlines and the R.A.F. in a satisfactory
way. |
