Vought V-173 “The Flying Pancake”
An experimental aircraft built for the U.S. Navy, the Vought V-173 “Flying Pancake” premiered in the mid-1940s. Two piston engines buried in the body drove propellers located on the leading edge at the wingtips. Just in time for the massive WWI push to be over and a flying-saucer-like fighter aircraft to serve little to no use for the American military.
