We have Ugly, How about Beauty?

[ShaneG_old]

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!

[Anxyous]

F-22A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then the Mustang....

[Sean_TK]

I'll split my choices into catagories:

Jets:
Tupolev Tu-154M

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

Helicopters:
Eurocopter AS365/HH-65 "Dauphin/Dolphin"

I don't know why, I just really like the CL-604.

No contest here, because the most beautiful aircraft ever has got to be the Lockheed Constellation. 8-)

[an-225]

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.

[AussiePilot]

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

It sucks that none fly into Brisbane.  I think a A340-200 does but it just doesn't compare. :-/

[specter177]

There are so many it is hard to pick. I'll go with the SR-71, P-51D, F-22, Howard 500 and Concorde.

[Ravang]

Wow, I can't believe everyones missed the true winner here...

...The Spitfire of course!!

[ShaneG_old]

Man, I can't believe I forgot about my first love!  The XB-70

[ozzy72]

Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX, or VIII, the V is also in contention

... and this from a fellow withi a Spitfire in his sig....   are we supposed to believe you?  

[Felix/FFDS]

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!"
