Hovertank (proper air-cushion one) with a very large NON-recoilless gun mounted off-centre in an off-centre rotating turret.

Hm, yeah, that'd work a treat.

Model of the Tsar Tank won best of show at SMW a couple of years ago 

If I can get myself up and running again then I'll have a crack at this -

Point is does it class as two entries ? One for the basic Aiir Cruiser concept and the other because it has to be a seriously bad idea to have a crack at a Unicraft kit ? 

[PR19_Kit]

Yes, and yes. 

Hmmm, I have a couple of Unicraft's knocking about somewhere too...............

Wow the French had some weird aircraft ideas!

Don't forget that some of their bombers are flying conservatories.

Some of their conservatories are BOMBERS!

The "Air Cruiser" concept was a bad idea (whatever it meant)?

Most of the Third Reich's Wunderwaffe...like the Ratte

i was playing with the idea of a jet powered Fokker D.VII, the whole would propably be torn/falling apart by the time it reaches the end of the runway 

then there was an idea for an inflatable airplane, but Goodyear beat me to it.

Its not that much of a "bad idea"...there's mixed power Stearman on the airshow circuit.

This video just crossed my Youtube feed, and it couldn't be more perfect:

Hmm, I was thinking as a what-if of maybe a jet powered, open cockpit, biplane witht the intake right behind the pilot, since putting the inlet on top of the fuselage makes alot of sense for preventing dirt and debris from getting in the the intake, while an open air cockpit should give the pilot great situational awareness, and the extra wing should help provided added lift to help reduce take-off runs.  It seems like a win/win/win situation.  I can't image what could possibly go wrong.
