In your opinion, what is the most beautiful aircraft?

For me it would be a tie between the Su-47/Su-27/Mig-29 I just can't pick one over the others there!

Prop/Turboprops:
...tough choice, right now, I'll say the Vought Corsair, but that can easily change.

No contest here, because the most beautiful aircraft ever has got to be the Lockheed Constellation. Wink

Hard for me -

HH-65 - beautiful nose! Streamlined

L-1049 Super Constellation (WINGTIP FUEL TANKS, RADAR NOSE) - sleek and streamlined with her wingtip fuel tanks and radar nose

Su-37 - oh, splinter camouflage, and I LOVE the ratio of wings to fuselage and also the placement of the wings

L-39 - beautiful nose

Sea Harrier FRS.1 - beautiful nose

A-10 - shark mouth! - Lizard

An-225 - perfect ratio of length to wingspan. Tailplane is also quite long.

Ooooo. I just love the A340-600! Sooo long and awesome.

It sucks that none fly into Brisbane. Sad

I think a A340-200 does but it just doesn't compare. Undecided

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The real question , which of course needs not be explained, is "What is the most beautiful plane (not counting the Spitfire)?"

The REAL answer is - "The one I'm flying in right now!"
