Linke-Hofmann R.II
The Linke Hofmann came into existence in 1917, back when aviation was pretty new. These planes were among the first bomber planes built at a time when Germany was still called the German Empire. It’s amazing to note that two of these beasts have been made. Unsurprisingly, these planes were unreliable, extremely difficult to control, and riddled with some serious problems, having had numerous structural weaknesses, and both planes ended up crashing.

Antonov An-22
The Antonov An-22 was produced for just a ten-year period from 1966 to 1976, but the model which was introduced at the Paris Air Show in 1965 was actually different from the others that were produced. These planes ended up with a nose-mounted radar. The Antonov Design Bureau designed it in the USSR. The aircraft comes with four turboprop engines that power contra-rotating propellers and it was the first ever transport aircraft with a wide body.
