Most Insane Cargo Plane Ever - Boeing Resource Carrier One
63% Informative
The Boeing Resource Carrier 1 was designed to transport oil from Alaska to the South .
The plane would have a wingspan of 500 feet , 12 engines, 56 wheels and a carrying capacity of 2.3 million .
It would be five times more powerful than the Antonov AN-225 and could be listed as the most insane cargo plane ever designed.
But engineers never shook the idea and it would resurface in 1970 when a proposed Trans Alaska pipeline system would be tied up in the courts.
The Boeing Resource Carrier 1 could have been the world's largest cargo aircraft.
The aircraft would have a huge fuselage with nothing in it.
The huge advantage of this proposal was that the planes could be reconfigured to do anything from transporting gas or oil.
In 1973 the oil crisis struck and the RC1 was no longer profitable, and all design plans for it were completely abandoned.
