I quite like steampunk aesthetic, and I suspect that the Botts Flying Machine would fit into that imaginary world quite well. It's quite a small compact design, but full of interesting shapes and struts. Whatever failings Bott's real-world design may have had, in the steampunk world, the machine's plethora of whirling rotors and hissing steam engine parts would more than make up for that.

This 20th Century flying machine is deserving of a good, old-fashioned, 21st Century, 19th Century steampunk makeover.

Cheers,
Paul
