Warplane

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

An early prototype of Japanese suicidal combat aircraft, called kawasaki. Chubby, mentally handicapped children were strapped to balloons filled with bombs and floated slowly into enemy territory. They seemed to enjoy the ride.

When the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, took to the air in the “Kitty Hawk” for the first manned flight in 1903, little could they have realised that their seemingly benign invention would, within a few decades, become one of the most feared weapons of war.

During WWI, both sides came gradually to realise the potential of the slow-moving bi-planes, but it wasn't until the invention of the Spitfire that the warplane finally came into its own.

Towards the end of WWII, with the Germans facing grim defeat, a meeting of their greatest scientists and engineers took place in which the idea was formulated that if reducing the number of wings on the old bi-plane had resulted in the technologically-superior Spitfire, then the obvious next step was to produce a plane with no wings at all.

After literally minutes of intensive research and development, the Germans came up with the Frockmaster 2000 - the world's first no-winged plane. The results were astonishing. The complete absence of wings meant that drag was almost non-existent and slide-rule simulations indicated that the plane would be able to travel in excess of 17 times the speed of sound (providing it wasn't a very loud sound).

Tragically, on its maiden flight the Frockmaster 2000 crashed into the assembled throng of dignitaries, killing 23 of Germany's finest engineers and a passing dog that had stopped to mark its territory in the time-honoured fashion on the leg of Heinrich Himmler.

It was later discovered that the revolutionary design of the Frockmaster actually caused cracks to appear in the surrounding air - probably the first recorded instance of air fatigue - and all further work on the project was abandoned due to Health and Safety legislation.
