The Bombardier Dash 8
Cross-drilled, another user on Jalopnik, described the plane in detail: “They use these to get across the smaller islands with small landing strips,” he said before discussing the errors of the plane. “I can deal with the loud propeller noise and the tossing and turning by crosswinds, but what gets me the most is the fact that these planes cannot hold the luggage of every passenger on board for weight reasons. Ideally, the solution is to tell persons to carry less luggage but most persons taking these smaller planes are transferring from a 757 or other planes.”

ME-163 Komet
This aircraft was used toward the end of WWII, and it was one of the experimental planes used by the Germans. It could travel faster than any other fighter plane being used during World War II, but it had some debilitating qualities that kept it from ever really succeeding. Once pilots were in the air, the plane could hold only enough fuel to safely keep the pilots afloat for about three minutes. After the three minutes, they’d need to slowly and carefully glide back to base. This meant they were an open and easy target for anyone to shoot at them.
