One of the most interesting 'might have beens' in aviation history is the
Bugatti 100. It is a real aircraft, but the original was never completed and never flew when designed in the late 1930s. The remains were eventually acquired by the EAA and the restored aircraft is on show at the EAA Museum, Wisconsin, USA.
However there is a project to build a flying replica, to see what it could do... They have a Facebook page
here, their original project page
here. They also put up the above image, by Isabelle de Monge recently, and it was brought to my attention by the peerless
XPLANES photo stream.
