Of course it doesn't look good. Its like any other animal you would buy for show. Upon initial look, it seems a fine specimine. But a closer examination reveals major flaws.

1) it doesn't look at all predatory
2) its clearly going to have some issues with roll
3) poor low 12 o'clock view
4) it just looks flimsy

And for those that know about it
5) poor handling
6) tendancy for engine damage
7) dweeb/newb ride  :ahand


So overall, attractive to the ignorant and stupid, but a horendous monstrosity for those expierenced enough to see beyond its clean lines.

WOW okay. Just a friendly advice if you ever go to UK try to not say anything.

There are a lot of trolls in this thread who are much more interested in trying to provoke a reaction rather than posting images of actual contenders for the title "Ugliest Aircraft".

It is absurd to list an A6M, Bf109, C.205, F4U, Fw190, La-7, P-38, P-51, Spitfire, Yak or any other WWII fighter as the ugliest aircraft of all.  Only a troll would do so.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

The ugliest just has to be the ATL-98 carvair.

They took a really sexy plane (DC4) and turned it into an ugly duckling.
