The Lines Have Been Drawn: Commercial Jets

[Clipper]

If this isn't the most innovative, esthetic design ever in a commercial jet airliner, what is? Why not post a pic or type the name of your choice.....

"Comet"...Not only the first, but the most dramatic jet ever designed?

If you post a pic, please keep it under 50k....

Does the Concorde qualify for this? If it does then I'd say that. The only airliner I've ever been and ever will be, I think interested in.

Edit - I only ever saw it fly once as well!

The 707 has my vote. Look at all the varients of it too!

[ChuckMajik]

While it never entered service, and it ended it's short life hacked up in bits.
I think I'm going to go with the Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner.

I too will have to cast my vote for the Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner

The Comet has to be possibly the most important as it was the first commercial jet to fly accross the atlantic. However, Concorde IS (imho) the best looking aircraft of all time, period. Even right upto the end, in London were it was 'common place', if it flew overhead people would stop and point. No body's really going to do that for any of the other's, even the Comet.

What about the Tristar? Such an amazing plane.

But the best probably has to be Concorde.

The beautiful MD-11

It's a close run between the Comet and Concorde for me. They're just both fantastic.

Comeon!

I had never heard of the Avro 102 before but now I WANT an fs model!! I would really like that! In the end however it wil not be my first choice. That WILL be Concorde

A unique airliner in all aspects and one that hasn't been improved on whatsoever. with the deccommissioning of this plane mankind took for the first time in the 20th/21st  century, a step backwards. I once saw a quote from  a man. How Am I going to explain to my daughter that we have to sit in a plane for over 7 hours to fly to europe when once we were able to do it in three.

I also think that it's by far the most beautifull airliner ever designed. At the IWM in duxford I had a look inside a couple of years ago and was impressed! Ive also been fortunate enough to see her flying a couple of times!

It is a classic. and even though the tecnology will improve and we will advance to speeds unthinkable. This plane wil in my views never be beaten!

TO CONCORDE!

This really has to be a joke! Wheres the 747??????????? I mean, the definition of beauty is based around this plane!

Sure you all know what it looks like so i wont post a piccy
