Thread all about the worlds ugliest aircraft. Can be WWII, post-war, pre-war, modern day prototype and technology demonstrator aircraft, anything you want. Just tell what you think is the worlds ugliest aircraft is.
My vote would have to be for the S-37 Berkut.
-
The S37 is a gorgeous machine! How can you call it ugly? :huh
I submit the Fugliest aircraft ever made: P-26

P180s are sexy!!
My opinion is a bit bias as a friend of mine used to fly them, but even before I knew him, I thought they were sexy.

Wonder how it handles, usually they say the plane flies the way it look....

Funny... wiki article says it's a biplane...
Is the O-38 a biplane too, then?
-
Those fat ugly cargo planes, the ones with the high tops really are truly ugly, and the F35 and any other modern day fighter that isn't a F22 :D

What? :confused:
At last they're streamlined somewhat. Brewster, I16, La7, Ju87, Ju88, TBM, Lancaster are all smurfy.
Sexiest in game: B17, 109s, Spitfires, P51, Me262, Ar234, P38 (just for unique-ness), B29, Mosquito.
All others are meh.

C 202/205 same builder as the MC 200. They use the inline DB 601 (202) and DB 605 (205) engines from german 109s. The 200 used the italian built radial. Italians did not develope any inline engines during the war so they depended on german technology.

Hell of a lot nicer looking than something like a Hurricane or a P-38, or a spitfire. The first two remind you of draft horses, while the third reminds you of a racing horse's unlucky cousin.

quick story about the second pic - My dad met the pilot (Jack Illfrey) (he worked for frost bank for 30 years) the P51 that is painted after his lives at KSAT and I've gotten to sit in it.

Unfortunately Jack passed away before I took a big interest in WW2 and I never got to meet him, but he was a great american and hero.

People always say she is ugly, but i like her... Compared to the Packat and Boxcar, i think she looks even better.

Your saying that this does not look good?

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.

Karnak is right, we've gotten off topic.
Anyway, another ugly aircraft is the A6E intruder. Damn thing just looks..... no.

Hey! I jumped a couple of times from the Pink Skyvan in 2005! :) Much better engines + 5 blades propellers made us reach 13,500 ft a couple minutes earlier than our usual Skyvan or the Cessan Caravan (with a bigger load inside).

It was a competitor to the Fw 189 for the role of army cooperation and liaison plane for the Wehrmacht. Cockpit visibility was of the utmost importance.
The Fw 189 otoh is quite beautiful!
