DON'T be alarmed. You'll never see any of these
aeronautical monstrosities winging over your
home. Each of them represents what would happen
if one group of specialists in the aircraft industry
had its way in designing the plane as a whole.
The equipment group, for example, thinks that
accessories and gadgets are the most important part
of the plane, Its ideal design would look something
like the flying luxury liner at the right. The power-
plant group would make its plane all engine; the
empennage group, all tail; and so on.
Our drawings by Douglas Rolfe are based on
sketches by C. W. Miller, Vega Aircraft engineer.
The all-glass plane credited to the enclosure group
was the idea (appropriately) of Elmer Lundberg,
design engineer of the Pittsburgh Glass Company.
