There are no ugly aircraft. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Agreed. I can't think of any aircraft that I find ugly, just different or interesting...

...Apart from, that is, the F-35... complete with rotating anus.

If I say the VC-10 is ugly, will I get the chance to take a photo of some Tornados releasing ordnance?  :D

I dislike the F-35. MiG-15/17/19s are also awful. Although, I think the MD-80 has to top the cake for ugly aircraft.

CCCP 19172... What the heck!?! (aka Beriev Bartini VVA 14 according to Google)


Beluga, horrid
Dreamlifter, bad, but not as horrid
VVA14 is just pure 'what the?!'

The MD-80 is ugly and loud.

Found another one:

The Piasecki PA-97 Heli-Stat:

It's a combination of a blimp and four CH-34 Choctaw helicopters....and it failed miserably.

I saw a video of that thing crash. It was actually a very dumb idea to use helicopters with the tail rotor removed and the fuse shortened. ::) Did they really expect that thing to fly? :-? I wouldn't have!

Uh - when you have four rotors, you don't need a tail-rotor. The same can be said for two rotors. ;)

Not a fan of this one, even though it's rather new. Maybe not the ugliest thing I've ever seen...but
