I was going to say that the plane was based on a real Nazi design. I'm glad you came up with a photo of a real working model.For those confused. It's the Nazi plane that was blown up in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The movie plane was based on a real Nazi design that never made it into production because of stability issues.
They appear to be hinged; I s'pos it's for some sort of variable vortexy effect thing... They'll do corkscrews a lot to show off how "surpreme" George Lucas and Steven Speilberg are at that sort of thing.

How was the ark going to fit inside that thing? Doesn't look like it has any storage ..

Well... OK, but I like the Raiders' old logo better.
