edit; You'll note that the "centerline" isn't what it seems if you look at the nose. I suppose the designer was listing to port when he drew it.

This subject crops up from time to time. I'm always surprised to see other people's ideas. It all depends on your definition of ugliness I suppose. I've seen a lot of aircraft of all shapes & sizes over the years but can't say I would call any of them ugly. Interesting or unusual might be better descriptions. There is usually a very good reason for the way they look. Something that appears ugly at first sight will often become attractive or even beautiful the more you see of it. I thought the Boeing 747 looked very odd the first time I saw one.
Here's one example of an aircraft only a mother or designer could love. The Farman F-4X Jabiru. This is the only photo I've ever seen of it. I can only suppose that there is an open cockpit on top of the fuselage.

The Jabiru could carry 6 passengers. Four examples were built & actually entered service in 1925.
That is horrible.
Agreed! That Jabiru thing is probably the most ugly collection of bolts and metal seen anywhere since the AMC Matador hit the streets...
