Toxic Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 seriously? someone put an F-16 on here? :( #CHOPPERLIVESMATTER http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Viersbovsky Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 XF-91 Thunderceptor. Ugly AND has a stupid name. This is the first plane in this thread that I would consider both ugly and lacking any coolness whatsoever. What were they thinking? Callsign "Lion"
ED Team NineLine Posted May 8, 2015 ED Team Posted May 8, 2015 This is the first plane in this thread that I would consider both ugly and lacking any coolness whatsoever. What were they thinking? Probably the fact that looks and coolness play little part in aircraft design :D Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
sobek Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 What were they thinking? They thought they could make a swept wing airplane that doesn't want to outright kill its pilot at high speed. ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Viersbovsky Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Probably the fact that looks and coolness play little part in aircraft design :D Usually the saying goes that pretty flies better. Pretty usually also sells better ;) Nah, point taken, I know that form follows function. This on the other hand looks simply like they tried to make it as goofy as possible. Callsign "Lion"
kontiuka Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 seriously? someone put an F-16 on here? :(With the conformal fuel tanks. Yes.
PiedDroit Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Wow you guys are harsh, I only find XF-91 and Il-102 ugly so far...
Random Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 seriously? someone put an F-16 on here? :( Now you know how I feel!

PiedDroit Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Here's one more (Bachem Ba-349): The Nimrod is definitely a beauty :p (except for the things on the wings and rudder). I think the thread should be renamed "Strangely beautiful and odd looking jets". With a subsection: "Jets made less beautiful with too many gizmo's". Edited May 9, 2015 by PiedDroit Image embedding

Darkwolf Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Best thread ever. :P However I agree with some people here. Weird looking Aircraft aren't neccessarily ugly. Most of them i find quite nice, except the IL102 and the Thunderceptor. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
Laurius Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Hi, we all know that beauty and ugliness are subjective notions. Although this one is not a fighter, I find it very weird if not ugly : PZL M-15 "Belphégor" Fortunatly, the landing gear appears to be not retractable :D Link : http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/is-the-pzl-m-15-belphegor-the-ugliest-production-jet-1729052082 ;) Asus P8Z68 Deluxe, Intel Core i7-2600K (3.4 GHz), Corsair Vengeance 2x4096 Mo DDR3 1866 MHz, SSD 120 Go Vertex 2, EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 4Go (04G-P4-2978-KR), TM HOTAS Warthog #03797 (MB replaced), Saitek Combat Pro Rudder, TrackIR 5, TM Cougar MFDs with Lilliput 8" UM 80
McBlemmen Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I was gonna say F-104 but after seeing some of the things here the F-104 looks like a supermodel in comparison... "thunderceptor" lmao
Alicatt Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Sigh! so beautiful :D:music_whistling: The first supercruising fighter ... not that it let it go very far :smilewink: Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
NeilWillis Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I think if you ask any Lightning maintenance engineer, they'd say it was damned ugly to work on. But let's face it, if you get 2 high performance engines, and strap a couple of wings, a tail unit and cockpit to it, you'll either get a lightning or a Phantom. What is even more ugly is the experimental aircraft that pre-dates the lightning, that has 2 interchangeable tail sections. It's at RAF Cosford if you want to frast your eyes on an ugly duckling. It's the Short SB5. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/collections/short-brothers-sb5-wg768/ Then there is the English Electric P1A - now that hit all the branches when it fell from the ugly tree! http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/collections/english-electric-p1a/ One last suggestion is this monstrosity - The Hunting H126 - If you were there at it's birth, you'd have slapped the mother! http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/collections/hunting-h126/ To be fair though, we ought to discount experimental or prototype aircraft. Plus of course the original question was regarding jet fighters, so maybe a number of us have stretched it a little. Damn good thread though!

It would be fun though to have it in DCS an go up against Sabres and MIG-15's. Edited September 17, 2015 by BravoYankee4

I would be fun though to have it in DCS an go up against Sabres and MIG-15's. Tunnan is beautiful! And i'm not a swede ;) This thread really is interesting! Peoples tastes are so varied!
Python Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 What is wrong with some of you people? Should've gone to specsavers lol, these three are beauties! Blackburn Buccaneer [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
WinterH Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 While I think there are way more hideous examples to be shown among the aircraft, I can't help but also think that among above 3 only Lightning is just barely passable as far as looks go =P. Buccaneer definitely has long been in my ugly list :). Still, they just can't hold a candle to this : https://www.google.com.tr/search?q=Leduc+010&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CBkQsARqFQoTCJX7odHG_scCFYkNLAodt3wHxA That just might be the most hideous thing that was taken to the skies, at least in my eyes. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
