Of course your entitled to your opinion, I was surprised that's all there are far worse aircraft out there! |
Sure is and too many to mention...I'm just keeping it CoD themed :)
|
Sorry guys... But anything that can fly is poetry in motion in my book... Even my witch of a wife! :grin:
It's incredible to think what it takes to be a test pilot! Some designs are just unbelievable! :shock: |

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5183/...dd04d127cf.jpg A great way to make an ugly plane out of a beautiful one, as has already been shown here in some cases, is to stick radar in the nose, or to make it two seater. I could post many two-seaters here (Sea Fury, Spitfire and Hunter to name but a few) that are still quite pretty, but no where near as pretty as their single seater originals. |
Very funny thread! And really puts my aircraft recon to shame because so many of these I'd never heard of! BUT, I do carry an ace card, Gents, I give you.....

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/up...F838C08460.jpg Some engineers must be ashamed for design flying things not planes.. |
Great read on that P47 website. It's my favorite airplane so that was pretty fun to see all the crazy late war variants.

The glorious Boulton Paul Overstrand (actually saw service with OTU in WWII) ....
http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/att...overstrand.jpg A Jumo/DB (not sure which) powered Spitfire ... http://i43.tinypic.com/1g17gx.jpg From the colonies ... the CAC Woomera ... http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/galler..._2A23_1001.jpg Last but not least the Kalinin K7 (the real one, not the fake with the battleship turret). http://www.internetmodeler.com/artma...in-k7_1933.jpg |
That Kalinin K7 is crazy! :shock: How thick are those wings?

The prototype flew 6 or 7 times before crashing. Their were later claims of sabotage but the more likely cause was structural failure due to an unresolved issue with harmonic vibration in the tail booms. |
Like women, they all have their charm in a certain way. Some are just uglier than others!:-P

But hey, that P-51 is butt-ugly :shock: It is like a Danish story about a king who wore no clothes - something none dared to point out. Except one kid, who did not understood that it was not "proper" to point out xD
P-51 "butt-ugly" xD |

Someone let the trolls out, didn't they?
You must remember to keep the gate closed and locked when you leave the pasture. Kids these days, honestly. :-P |

From some angles the p-51 even looks sleek, from other angle like a pregnant guppy. :D
The spitfire than is nice, in a ladylike way, not as a fighting machine, imo. |

http://www.aircraftcarrier.name/airc...to/ln411-4.jpg Loire-Nieuport LN.401/411 The French really knew how to make horrible planes in the late '30s early '40s. When I think about the beautiful WWI Nieuports and SPADS :-x |
Looks like a poor man's stuka!
