Wai wai wai, I suspect I was the first to figure this one out! http://www.flyingmachines.org/hens.html"William Samuel Henson was an engineer and inventor who was familiar with the aeronautical work of George Cayley. Discussions with his associate John Stringfellow led to his design for a large passenger-carrying steam-powered monoplane, with a wing span of 150 feet, named "ARIEL - The Henson Aerial Steam Carriage," for which he received a patent in 1843.""The Aerial Steam Carriage never took to the air, but it nonetheless registered firmly in the minds and imaginations of multitudes of people to became one of the strongest archetypal images of early aeronautics."
It is a lot more appropriate than the manga's WW1 era biplane.
Well, to be fair, when Mori wrote that bit, she hadn't yet "levelled up" and been "equipped" with her own personal researcher. The anime crew did a much more thorough job of researching the details. Hell, that's what they blew all the money on, and why there's no present appearance of hope for a second season.You win some, you lose some.
Good work!
It really amazes me how Mori's artwork has changed for the better now (Volume 7) than her previous (Volume 1). William looks totally different (and more handsome) today. heh heh
From wich anime is that?A model of the Henson carriage, powered by a steam engine actually lifted into the air.
>>1616Volume 7? What are you talking about?
Every chapter after 43 will eventually be in Volume 7....
Oh yeah, didn't count correctly.
what is the title of the anime / manga?
