It's a cool plane, but I have to be puzzled about the statement.

Yes it was and there is an excellent freeware version for FSX.

There was a piston version which never went into production, that was powered by a Rolls Royce Eagle, the last I think RR piston aero engine which was dropped when RR stopped work on piston engines hence the turboprop.

Eight prop blades, and 24 cylinders, 3500HP. There were two built, and one was lost with pilot due to a inflight fire and the other one sat on the ground never to fly..IIRC. I just thought it was a monster plane with all the motor and props, ETC.
