If you like the V-173 you'll love the XFU-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_XF5U

Completely amazing, the 1935-60 era's record of strange and wonderful aircraft designs.

And that's just counting the ones that mostly worked.

If not for the coming of decent jet engines, the F5U probably would be well known today.
