April 11, 20242 yr If I was to restrict myself to Airliners I don't think anything can touch the VC10 Lets face it when put against this model of elegance an A380 looks like the fat girl you had to sit next to in school Edited April 11, 20242 yr by Lonesome Cowboy Burt
April 11, 20242 yr For pure aesthetic attraction ... I really do like several older De Havilland designs, the pre-war DH88 Comet Racer, the DH104 Dove, the original DH106 Comet (despite it's design faults) and the DH114 Heron all appeal to my eyes 🙂
April 11, 20242 yr 727-100 for me, please. That's the plane that made me fall in love with aviation.

April 11, 20242 yr 7 hours ago, Lonesome Cowboy Burt said: edit...also a bit puzzled where the number 8 and 4 on each side comes from? I was regarding the B36 as having three radials and one jet engine on each side. Did not realize it was actually two jet engines on each side. BTW, an uncle of mine was a flight engineer on a B36 that was converted into a mid-air refueler near the end of its service. He later was one of the initial crew members on C5A's at its outset. "Beginning with the B-36D, Convair added a pair of General Electric J47-19 jet engines suspended near the end of each wing; these were also retrofitted to all extant B-36Bs. Consequently, the B-36 was configured to have 10 engines, six radial propeller engines and four jet engines" Frank Patton Corsair 5000D Airflow Case; MSI B650 Tomahawk MOB; Ryzen 7 7800 X3D CPU; ASUS RTX 4080 Super; NZXT 360mm liquid cooler; Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM; RMX850X Gold PSU;; ASUS VG289 4K 27" Display; Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, Crosswind 3's w/dampener.

April 11, 20242 yr Surprised nobody has mentioned the Vulcan. And of course, as Ray will know, same engines as Concorde.
April 11, 20242 yr I really like Alice, and I've told her so. 😉 F22 looks stunning of course. Edited April 11, 20242 yr by martin-w
