Neilroy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) There's a seriously juicy one that everyone's missed so far...the Gloster Meteor F.8 'prone pilot' experimental aircraft. Not only ugly, but actually quite terrifying! It really reminds me of this beastie from the alien movies, with the second head inside the main one: Edited January 29, 2010 by Neilroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 No it's OK I've finally found it ....Tail too big , fuselage too short and fat , wings too stubby and flap about, nose too short , sits all squat and covered in ugly bits all hanging off at funny angles !!!!.............Gotta be the.......... And that,s just the Aircrew you have described Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Near the beginning of this thread someone had the temerity to accuse the Sturgeon of being Ugly - I beg to differ! Pretty? No... Purposeful? Very! Ugly? Nah... Unless they meant the SB3 variant with double Mambas of course - now that had a look only a mother could love: Mind ewe - I also find the prone pilot Meteor rather endearing too... I'll go take my tablets... Iain Edited January 29, 2010 by 32SIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pielstick Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Here's a couple that I don't consider to be very attractive.... Kudos to anyone who can tell me what type they are And also here's some bits of another aeroplane that I don't think looks very pretty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelvy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the Fairey Barracuda yet?All those dangly flaps and slats and slots! Not to mention the lumps, buldges and wait... Is that a drainpipe I see before me? What a Munter! Rob M. An aircraft procured under the traditional Admiralty procedure. It is said that a whale is a shark built to Admiralty specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penfold Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Depending on your definitions.....but it flew. I have seen the film of this beastie being tested, towed behind an inter-war bomber, with this being filmed from the rear turret position. Ugly...and terrifying to watch.....

pigsty Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) It was once said that the British and the Americans had a competition to see who could build the ugliest aircraft. Our entry was the Buccaneer and theirs was the Phantom, and the Fleet Air Arm was so impressed that they bought both, to keep their Gannets company. This may be no help if you want something that exists in kit form, but I give you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M-15_belphegor.jpg - so ugly that they named it after a demon. It looks so ill-favoured that you could probably cobble one together out of random parts from half a dozen other aircraft ...

Jennings Heilig Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'd have to nominate the F-22. It looks like a pregnant fish. Fugliness personified, especially compared to the F-15. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
