Wow, they were actually going to try that with a trimotor? Sure, they might get to 400 mph. Briefly, before the wings ripped right off.
You can tell the battle between raw propulsive power and streamlining had not yet begun; that Tin Goose could reach 400 mph, all right. In a terminal dive. It would shed those excess wings and engines and landing gear in the process, of course.
Then again, it's not the downward speed that kills ya, it's that sudden stop at the end.
In my rock-climbing days I was never bothered by heights or the fear of falling, but the thought of that sudden stop - yeah, that was always a bit troublesome. ;-)
You can follow the links at IO9 to some more interesting rocket-assisted planes.
That YouTube video is just sick. Kinda makes me want to jump back into Project Euler...
