I once remember seeing a clip of this plane that had ten wings.  Does anyone have a link?

Well done Charlie. The flying (or non-flying :'() Venetian blind. ;)

Forgotten the real name but it's not such a bad idea really. I reckon it would be a tad draggy though.

Well, Fokker did develop a quintuplane fighter prototype, and Caproni, well, it gave a new meaning to the term flying mansion!  ( a 9 wing affair that actually flew - so to speak)

yeah, while waiting I found out what plane.  But what I really want is that videoclip of all the wings breaking.
