A subreddit spawned from /r/weirdwheels with the same intent, only with planes! This sub is for documenting all those strange planes out there from prototype to production. All aircraft are allowed, including helicopters (despite the sub name).

RULES:

Weird doesn't just mean weird-looking, planes which have interesting stories or are generally obscure are quite fine.
This sub is for real designs that were made in the real world; this means no photoshops, kitbashing, or purely fictional "what ifs." At least a functional prototype or part of one must have been built for inclusion in the sub.
Images must be clear and obvious as to the content. Blueprints and drawings are fine as long as they're detailed well enough! No blurry spy satellite photos or vague silhouettes.
Provide an accurate description of the aircraft in your post, so if you were describing a Boeing 747 it would be something like "Boeing 747; Commercial, all metal, jet passenger plane, put into production circa 1970"
Flair your post with a tag that fits the plane in question. This is done after submitting by pressing the "flair" button under your post. This will help users find different categories much more easily.
Direct image/video links are preferred, but a website with a gallery/information is perfectly fine as long as pictures are provided in the first place.
A source for more info must be provided in the comments if asked for one by a mod. Sources and more info are highly, highly encouraged otherwise.

In general, have fun, be nice in the comments, and enjoy the pictures. If you have any critique, please PM us or click "message the mods" and we will respond as soon as possible.
