Most Beautiful Aircraft

[cheddar cheese]

The rounded nose one does but the top one is very pretty.

I prefer the rounded nose one...

To me there are only a few ugly planes but for proportions and clean lines the B-29 has got em all beat esp if its a striped plane (without turrets).

Spitfire

Mosquito

To me the most beautiful aircraft of WW2 were the Spitfire, Bf-109, Mosquito, and the Me-262. Each in there own way. I really like the sleakness and all around shapes of the Spitfire and I like the evil looking beauty of the Bf-109.

 

[davparlr]

I like the evil looking beauty of the Bf-109.

I appreciate your view. The F-4 has a similar functional beauty.

As I said before, it's a "I don't care about any beauty contest, I want to go out and fight".

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeap

And I agree 100%...

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

the 109 really is symbolic... "here come the bad guys" I agree with that evil beauty...

McDonnell XP-67

[Chocks away!]

I love the bf 109 F, late G and K models, the Ki-61 is a good looking plane, the Tempest looks powerful, the mig-15 is classic, and so is the Me-262 with it's shark like lines

 

[Chocks away!]

Here are some more I like. The Saab 35 Draken, theFiat G-55, the Heinkel He-100, Fw 200 and the insane lookin B-36

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I too have allways like the B-36. I like how she was a large peace maker! Ugly but with a purpose.

There's not many aircraft you can fit a nuclear reactor onboard.

I'm with Gnomey and cheddar cheese, the late model Dinah is nice to look at.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no, really, it's not

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

If it does not look like a Lancaster or a French Bomber, Lanc does not like it.

 

[Gnomey]

If it does not look like a Lancaster or a French Bomber, Lanc does not like it.

Very true Adler!

Some people think "chunky" is beautiful.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No it is more like Butt Ugly....

 

[davparlr]

How's this for a beautiful aircraft. The father of the B-2, Tacit Blue!

 

[plan_D]

It's so fugly I think lanc will love it.
