Built by Roy B Scroggs in 1930, The Last Laugh was similar to a dartlike paper airplane, with a narrow delta-wing with about a 75-degree sweepback/ Powered by a 90hp Curtiss OX-5, it had elevons and twin rudders. Registered N10648, the pilot sat in a closed cabin under the “wing”.
Scroggs prophesized that his airplane would one day revolutionize the entire air industry. The creation was test-flown successfully at an altitude of 10′, and Scroggs predicted an eventual top speed of 300mph, but he, and his airplane, eventually faded away.
