The set, however, did not get approval and went unproduced.
It represented two sections from the film, Peru and Egypt, with the Flying Wing present in the latter. At some point during the 1990s, a Raiders playset prototype was presented to the Galoob Micro Machines company with the hope of turning it into an actual set. Kenner planned to release a Flying Wing as part of their 3 3/4" Raiders toyline but went unmade. Note: Scaled down and missing gun turret from back, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!. When Marion Ravenwood gets locked in the cockpit of the Flying Wing after knocking out the pilot during Indy's fight against the mechanic, the Raiders film crew can be seen reflected in the glass. While filming the fight sequence between Indiana Jones and the German Mechanic with Pat Roach, Harrison Ford was accidentally run over by the landing gear and tore the ACL in one of his knees. In order to ship the unwieldy prop to Tunisia, it had to be disassembled and sent piecemeal before being reconstructed on location. The Flying Wing was built by Vickers, and painted in London at EMI Elstree Studios. However, it more closely resembles the Lippisch Li-P.04-106, a concept fighter studied by Germany toward the end of World War II. Raiders of the Lost Ark production designer Norman Reynolds designed the plane for the film, based on historical Northrop Corporation designs and drawings by the late Ron Cobb of the Horten Ho-2-29. The Nazi Flying Wing seen in the film was not a real plane. With the plane destroyed and Jones on the loose, Dietrich and Belloq decided to move the Ark by truck from the camp instead. However, Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood inadvertently destroyed the plane in an attempt to commandeer it, killing a mechanic and the aircraft's pilot. Īfter the Ark of the Covenant was recovered, Dietrich planned to transport the treasure back to Germany in the plane, and the plane was prepared for takeoff. Its experimental shape had a forward cockpit for the pilot and a tail gunner position, and some cargo space.
The German-built Flying Wing aircraft was part of the Nazi contingent deployed to Tanis in 1936.
