Weird Plane from Things To Come

Re uploaded because due to some life-threatening mistakes I made with the first one.

This aircraft is from the 1936 film “Things To Come” by H.G. Wells. In the film, this new aircraft lands in a settlement known as “Everytown”. I had to make some rough guesses on it’s size and performance. Warning: Must land at high speeds. This thing flies with the grace of a brick at low airspeeds. Also it has a jet engine, because it can’t fly without it (the plane in the movie didn’t have one). Enjoy.
