Butt-ugly airplanes

[plan_D]

The Russian plane was not? Are you kidding? It looks like someone went over board with a chainsaw! It's stumpy nosed ugly twat. It looks like a Polish dog (been running into parked cars)

 

[cheddar cheese]

I agree it certainly isnt pretty, but I have seen far uglier planes

 

[cheddar cheese]

How about this one...Look at the size of the engine!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

good call..........

Lets not forget the Ju287, the big ugly landing gear and that hideous rear fuselage and tail ruined any chances that plane had at looking good

 

[evangilder]

The landing gear alone are enough to put this one in the category! Bleck!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's not that bad looking............

 

[cheddar cheese]

It aint pretty, but the swept-forward wings are cool

Fieseler Fi 167:

F.F.G. Berlin 9:

As ugly as that Berlin 9 is, its actually pretty interesting...

What were those designers thinking

 

[cheddar cheese]

I wouldnt call either of them ugly

 

[evangilder]

Ugh, the Berlin 9 looks like what you would get after turning a 9 year old loose with the drafting board!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Perhaps thats why its called the Berlin 9, because at the time it was designed all of Germany's top designers were dead so they had to use 9 year olds, and Berlin was their only city left

The Lippisch DM-1

 

[mosquitoman]

That looks more at home in a dodgy sci-fi film

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]
