I always thought the dive planes on the sail were pretty hilarious.

From the Atomic Rockets website: link Scroll down to the "Submarines in Space" section; there are a couple of Matt Jeffries drawings of the original, and also some pictures of the original studio model. Ron |

Not sure how he designed the ship, but it looks like to me that they used one of those giant gag pencils as the base of the model. |

The "diving planes" are wrong. In the original, they aren't rectangles, but rather have the cross section of a "saucer" shape (think a sphere, flattened, then sliced into quarters, with two of those quarters glued onto the "conning tower", exposed flat side facing forward). So they wouldn't work as "diving planes" at all, and only superficially look like them due to placement. ( My guess is that Jeffries conceived of these as early deflector arrays, as they are the only thing on the ship which could function that way.) |

I thought those were radiators. |
