The Lines Have Been Drawn Pre-Poll: Heavies

[KDSM]

The Boeing blended wing body
Its designed for up to 800 passengers

[-sam-]

The B1-B "Bone" Lancer. !!

[Tweek]

I think if it was a poll of 'Heavies', perhaps it should be judged on empty weight?

[F-16Viper]

would the c-5 qualify?

[Flying Homer]

This one should win

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

Definately the MD-11...by far the coolest looking jet ever....






Cheers all,

I'm unable to choose between the An-225 and the MD-11.... the Mryia is just, well, big, and the MD-11 is so majestic.........

Which one??!!

[F3Hadlow]

Which one??!!

The An225 obviously!

[Clipper]

Amended qualifications...Just really big...let's not eliminate too many heavies here. To give you all a better idea of "Heavy" criteria...... 737 no, Cessna 172 no, 7E7 yes, Dash 8 no, B1B yes, Cri Cri...too cute to eliminate...

[Tweek]

B1B yes

Well that's a relief

[Mr.Mugel]

An-225 as most favourite, C-17 bloody nice ! and the A-380 is some interesting heavy metal.

But the Myria, you just need to have seen her in real. On word: Majestic. Putting together the huge size, the interesting design and the silent voice of the 6 engines !

I had the luck of seeing her once, and had that feeling, so I say:

AN-225 Myria all the way !

[Demo]

i nominate the B-36B

[Nitro]

How about this



The Ekranoplan

[Tweek]

The Ekranoplan

Whether it counts or not... that is one ugly beast!

[Demo]

i dont think it counts as a plane im not sure but it only flys 40 feet off the water (water only) uses the updraft to stay up just glides on a pocket of air get over the land loose the updraft... well... it IS only a 40 foot drop if you get what i mean
