It's practically impossible to design an ugly sailplane. Hard to pick a specific example of beauty though, as the design constraints make them all somewhat generic. Fortunately, even when they do something silly like adding an engine, they have the sense to hide it well out of the way...

Wardog5711 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 ‘OFFICIAL’ DISCLAIMER The pictures and accompanying text found in this post represent WARDOG5711’s personal opinion. They should not in any way be taken as official information on the direction that 1CGS might have gone, where it might be going, who it might be doing it with, or when it might be doing something if it was doing anything at all. I’m just an old guy posting pictures on the internet. ? My all time favorite, The B-1B. It's lines are just....perfect. A blend of futuristic styling and brute force. The second would be the P6M Seamaster. A jet powered, nuclear capable seaplane bomber. I built a model of this one as a kid, and always liked the lines And third, the F101B Voodoo. Just a neat looking aircraft. Another one that got built as a model way back in the day. 1 1
unlikely_spider Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I agree with the Spit, but will make #s two and three the F-18 Hornet and the Lockheed Electra 10: 1

Apart from the glider of course...?
Zooropa_Fly Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 I was going to give an honourable mention to the Phantom, and the FW190 - good call easterling ! As traditionally a ww1 person, I should also give a shout to the Felixstowe F2A and the Brandy W12. But this is purely about sex, so I'd better stick with my original choices ! Enjoyed the contributions so far, cheers all !
DBFlyguy Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I like my airplanes like I like my women, sleek and beautiful, a purring engine is a bonus ? 1. P-51 Mustang 2. Spitfire (mainly Mk.1 up to Mk. IX "round tail") 3. P-40 Warhawk Jets really should be in their own separate category 1. F-16 Viper 2. F-18C Hornet 1. F-86 Sabre Edited January 4, 2023 by DBFlyguy 1
Gingerwelsh Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 What makes "A sexy aircraft"? Beautiful slim body. Cute little nose. Sharp slender tail. But most of all. Great Big Bristols. ??. .. 3 6

Mtnbiker1998 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 1. P-51D 2. F-22 I could list more, but nothing else comes close to the lines on those two beauties. Both absolute peaks of their own respective eras of engineering. An 1851 Colt Navy is another gorgeous weapon system, but I don't think that counts for this thread haha

BluesmanSF Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 As Porco Rosso said, and I think it’s something we all can identify with, ”a flying pig that doesn’t fly is just a pig”

Gambit21 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Make mine a Sea Fury VT. Also, this aircraft is the one of the only examples I know of where this is the actual aircraft that bore this name during the war...flown by Ray Littge of the 352nd. ...and the Viper is just incomparable. The pinnacle of multi-role fighter design IMO...and damn sexy to boot. 2 1
Rjel Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 As several others have posted, P-51D, F-86, F-16. But I'd also add the F7F Tigercat. Imagine if that had been used in the ETO in a similar fashion as the Mosquito? It would've been the perfect fighter for interdiction and airfield attacks. I saw a Tigercat fly years ago (1989 or so) at the Kalamazoo Air Show in what was called The Cat Flight. It had L-R the F6F Hellcat, F-14 Tomcat, F7F Tigercat, F9F Panther, F8F Bearcat and the F4F Wildcat. Never to be seen again. 5
Wardog5711 Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 I got to see Bad Kitty at a local airshow a few years back. Good looking airplane... 2

BlitzPig_EL Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) This is difficult, narrowing it down to three is almost an impossibility. However I shall attempt it... 1. Curtiss Hawk 81 2. Supermarine Spitfire 3. This was a difficult choice, but I had to go with my gut here... Kawasaki Ki-61 Edited January 8, 2023 by BlitzPig_EL 2 1
DD_fruitbat Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Everyone is wrong, although some good suggestions...? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, l 2
