Ugliest? Take a look at nearly every topol-m's post above :D

I agree that the early 109s are not attractive.

 

But I honestly got to disagree on your judgements about the later models.

 

 

 

 

Especially compared to the later Spit models, like this optical cruelty:

[topol-m]

Nightmarish helicopters: :fear:

 

1. Sikorsky S-64

 

 

2. Kellett-Hughes XH-17

Another ugly helo - Mi-10

Latécoère L.631

 

 

L.W.S. 6 Zubr

Grob GF-200. For Russians it sounds like “Гроб ГФ-200”. In Russian “гроб” means “coffin”. I doubt they find a lot of customers here in Russia.

 

 

And don't look now…

 

PZL Mielec M-15 nicknamed “Belphegor”.

In Russian “гроб” means “coffin”.
