As time goes on we are more and more getting towards the “ideal aerodynamic shape” decided by car manufacturers, that makes most cars look the same and smooths those nice angles into blobs with a wheel on each corner.We also see the same in aircraft design especialy on the civil scene. And while i see that the designers are just doing there jobs, some of them need to have a word with them selves !

I for one like the idea of ugly planes and have my likes/dislikes like anyone else and personnely think that the disgusting F117 and that Eurofighter thingy are grotesque !!
Planes especilly military ones are designed with a purpose in mind.
Favourites are the Buccaneer, Tornado and the VC-10. But some of those classic shapes like the Spit and P51 still make you stop and stare at a thing of beauty.

which i suppose some people will find repulsive as well !
