 Kinda looks like a giant fly - sort of freaks me outI know I have been through this before, but I think that aircraft could be prettier - to appeal to a wider audience. Some are just outright ugly and others look so, well...mean!! Imagine our planes, flying overhead...the enemy (your choice) sees a pretty pink plane with flowers, or butterflys. Maybe a yellow plane with tiger stripes, or white with spots. He stops, looks at the aircraft. As he is thinking to himself "What the hell?" BAM!! Right on his head!! I think it could work.

From the operational to the exotic to the what wasn't but could have been.

Gotta say the X-3 looks pretty snazy. Kinda reminds me of the Viper fighter off the Battlestar Galactic series.
Rare an aircraft blows me away from an asthetic stand point. Its a short list ybt it made it. B-2, X-3, SR-71, Bird of Prey (the aircraft not the sci-fi space ship). Last edited by canoe : 09-14-2006 at 06:20 AM. |

A plane that never flew but which was nearly as good looking as the YF23... (well it was based on the same design..) And I've always loved the ME262 and the Hornet as well...
