The plane has twin engines which drive two propellers sticking out, from the extreme sides of the front, much like the antennae of an insect. There is>no, conventional tail on the plane and the cockpit is sunk in the center of the gleaming "shell." With its landing gear retracted, the “flapjack,” as it
