Most Beautiful Aircraft

Recommended Posts

Guest xtremdav45

Military: B-52, key symbol of US Cold War might, After 50 years, still going strong.Followed by: B-2, mostly because my grandpa worked on develping the paint for it.Honorable Mention: KC-10, Giant gas station in the sky. Nice looking plane.Civil: DC-10, Shame these beautiful aircraft arent in service as much as they used to, there should be more tri-engined planes.Followed by: 747-200, If it is good enough for the President of the United States, it must be a good aircraft.Honorable Mention: 707, Revolutionized air travel, plus it has been Air Force One before. Most Ugliest Military: A-10, That is one ugly hogFollowed by: Every non tanker KC-135 variant, they just are ugly the only accessory that belongs on that airframe is a refueling boom.

I'd say 727, if it weren't for the Concorde. It really was in a class of its own.Ugliest: Shorts 360/330, no contest.

I think the A340, with its long tapered wings is especially graceful. I don't think of the B777 as "beautiful" per say. It looks more like a brute at the gate, with those monster engines and agressive profile. Very impressive and a bit intimidating more than beautiful. I love the Connie and also think the Tupelov airliners are very sleek and sexy.

Lockheed L-749 radar nose constellation. For sure followed by the P-51 mustang.

I've always like the appearance of the Piper Cub. Probably because (to me) it symbolizes "flying for fun" like no other plane does - and it is a cute little airplane :-lol
