“This “flying furniture” wing set-up did not survive past the first attempt at flying. It was big, yes, but the real problem was the placement of the engines: too high over the wings, forcing the nose down on the lift-off”

“The Tarrant Tabor was a British bomber triplane, which was designed towards the end of the First World War and was briefly the world’s largest aircraft. It crashed fatally on its first flight.”
