Most Beautiful Aircraft

[olbrat]

Thanks for the pix kool kitty.

I think you may be right. the cowling and fuselage of the R2005 seem a bit more sleek. (now I'm going to spend the rest of my work day comparing these two aircraft).

Plus it's got Eliptical wings. (similar to the P-35/P-43/P-47; R.2000/R-2001/R.2002)

Thanks kool kitty!

I have three of my co-workers here all discussing aircraft aesthetics now. I'm convincing a couple of them to look beyond American designs. They are still stuck on what aircraft they pretended with when they were young. They were quite surprised by some of the styles. I have a feeling our discussion will carry over to a nearby pub.

Not the most beautiful but just looks right.... and I still see some of these flying over my place near Point Cook regularly... over 75 years later

Totally agree with you; here's probably the cleanest picture of an XB-70 in flight:

Excellent picture of the Scooter (an A-4M?). Interesting photo - it caught it just as the landing gear were retracting, or extending). Not a beautiful plane in my opinion, but still one nifty-looking little bird. Always looked like it was ready to launch. I've always been partial to the various Spitfires/Seafires, but if I had to chose one from the lot, then I'd go with the Seafire FR.46. The contraprops do it for me. The scoop under the front of the nose of the FR.47 almost made it look like a Spiteful, not a real Seafire (Spifire). The FR.46 is still every bit the Spitfire.

US: P-40B, sleek nose with scoops, like a hot-rod. Germany: Bf 109F, just a smooth look. RAF: Spit MkIX, its a Spit, come-on! Japan: Ki-61 Tony, all of thier planes didn't have to look like a Toyota Tercel! Russia: MiG-1 Siberian beauty!

XB-70 is beautiful, certainly one of my favourite of the delta wing jets. Along with the Vulcan and the Concorde.

If that is from Flight Simulator, I may have to get the latest version as that picture is beautiful! It certainly looks real.
