The Bell FM-1 Airacuda
The Airacuda was launched in 1937 and boasted of a futuristic look and unconventional but innovative features. An improvement it had was the placement of engines and guns, which made it easier to fire weapons. Sadly, it overheated frequently and made it impossible for a gunner to bail out because of its rear propellers. What makes it even worse is that firing guns inside of it would fill the space with smoke.

The Vought F7U Cutlass
The Cutlass had a very interesting design. The plane did not come with the traditional tail and featured a swept-wing design. However, the aircraft boasted of many problems too. While the plane was fast, it sometimes struggled to remain in the air. The jet did not have enough thrust for landings and take-offs either. It is interesting to hear that around a quarter of the units got into crashes.
