The Christmas Bullet
The Christmas Bullet, which was also known as the Cantilever Aero Bullet, was an aircraft created by a man who was out of his mind. It was designed by Dr. William Whitney Christmas to malfunction whenever it reached a particular height. Being the psychopath he had always been, Dr. William invited Cuthbert Mills, who was a great pilot, to try his invention and fly it. The pilot gladly accepted it and even invited his mother to come with him. When they were already at a very high altitude, the aircraft had a malfunction – Cuthbert Mills and his mother died from the crash. Well, this is one of the worst aircraft to exist in the entire aviation history.

The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was an interceptor aircraft that was designed by Alexander Lippisch. It was a rocket-powered aircraft. That was why it managed to fly at a very high speed. The primary issue that this aircraft faced was the fact that it had a minimum fuel capacity. It could only stay flying through the air for a maximum of three minutes – after that, it would need to land so that its fuel tank would be refilled again. That minor problem led to several fuel leaks, which eventually led to several accidents.
