    I think this is the largest biplane I’ve ever seen.

    At the time of its completion the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII was the largest aeroplane in the world; (the Mannesman-Poll triplane was to have been much larger but was not completed before the Versailles Treaty came into force).

    Ahh. That makes sense.

    It would be so cool to fly in that! Well besides the gearbox breaking. Crazy they has all engines inside the fuselage
