Norman Bel Geddes Database
Job 244, Streamlined Tank, 1940
Summary: The objective in streamlining an armored tank was to reduce “the penetrating force of attacking projectiles,” but it would have been impossible to shape armor-weight steel plates to these curvatures. This project stands as one of Bel Geddes's more impractical applications of streamline principles.
