In this documentary, we investigate the radical evolution of aircraft shapes. We explore the high-capacity "Super Guppies" that made the 1969 Moon Landing possible, the "Flying Wings" of Jack Northrop that were decades ahead of their time, and the "Parasite Fighters" designed to be launched from the belly of a bomber.
