The German-built Flying Wing aircraft was part of the +Nazi+. contingent deployed to Tanis in 1936. Its experimental shape had a forward cockpit for the pilot and a tail gunner position, and some cargo space.
After the +Ark of the Covenant+. was recovered, Dietrich planned to transport the treasure back to Germany in the plane, and the plane was prepared for takeoff. However, +Indiana Jones+. and +Marion Ravenwood+. destroyed the plane in an attempt to commandeer it, killing the German Mechanic and the pilot in the process. With the plane destroyed and Jones on the loose, Dietrich and Belloq decided to move the Ark by truck from the camp instead.
Behind the scenesEdit
The Nazi Flying Wing seen in the film was not a real plane. Raiders production designer Norman Reynolds designed the plane for the film, based on historical +Northrop Corporation+. designs and drawings by +Ron Cobb+. of the +Horten Ho-2-29+.. The fake plane was built by +Vickers+., and was painted in London at +EMI Elstree Studios+.. In order to ship the unwieldy prop to Tunisia, it had to be disassembled and sent piecemeal before being reconstructed on location.
Note: Scaled down and missing gun turret from back,quot;Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!
+Hasbro+. had also planned to release a Flying Wing for their 3 3/4 quot; action figure line; the cancellation of the Hasbro line, however, has made the release of the toy unlikely in the foreseeable future.
After the Flying Wing was destroyed in the film in 1981, the remains of the plane sat quietly in the Tunisian desert, where parts of it was salvaged by prop collectors. In 1991, ten years after the production of +Raiders Of The Lost Ark+., the Flying Wing was finally bulldozed and its remains destroyed.
