“Let’s take a dildo and put wings on it!”

-airplane designers, apparently

Said dildos wouldn’t fly without wings.

No Comet?

You’ve clearly never seen a dildo cannon.

Classic looks, certainly. Thank you, I’ll be here all week. These have panache, but the interiors are pretty spartan unless they’ve been upgraded.

They’ve got a VC-10 at Brooklands that I got to see. Bedraggled a bit, like most of the rest of their Vickers collection, but worth a visit anyway. (wikimedia picture)

That’s one nice looking plane

But but but Vickers VC-10!

Not bad, needs more MD-80 though.

And maybe some 727.

If Concorde is the best looking then its Soviet cousin (Tu-144) should also be in the list. The weird flag combination was used during the co-operation with NASA.

Agree for the MD-80

such a sweet looking plane.

Extremely unlikely

Since when was the Concorde an Airbus?

The Concorde belonged to Aerospatiale-BAC.

I was just about to mention the Coronado.

“Noel Forgeard, president and chief executive officer of Airbus, said: “Airbus’ predecessors Aerospatiale and British Aircraft Corporation created Concorde some 40 years ago and we are proud of this remarkable achievement.

“ But its maintenance regime is increasing fast with age. Thus, as an aircraft manufacturer, we understand completely and respect the decision of British Airways, especially in the present economic climate.”

Airbus “owned” the Concorde program after Aéropatiale and BAC and many others merged to form Airbus.

It’s like saying “Since when the MD-11 is a Boeing”

That’s like saying since I married Albert Einstein, I came up with the theory of relativity.

Hey, maybe then they’d actually give a flying fuck.

A bit derivative but really cool plane.

It never actually flew any passenger, right ?

I think those were briefly used for internal flights in USSR but they had a lot of problems.

Pretty hard to argue with this list, especially since it’s subjective. Without taking you to task over your selections, since they are yours and that makes them right, I’ll instead add a few more candidates from my slate.

Tupolev Tu-104. Looks fast sitting still.

Avro Canada C102 Jetliner. It gave us the word “jetliner.”

The Connie. Should be on anybody’s list.

And of course, the 787. Drop dead gorgeous. That wing is a thing of beauty itself. And they stole the nose from the Comet.

Mmm, I prefer the looks of the Vickers over the Ilyushin any day...

Never liked the MD-11 design...the third engine always seemed too tacked on without much design thought...

Amoore100 > Margin Of Error 07/27/2015 at 14:11

Now this is how you do a third engine...pity Lockheed pulled out of the market after their first and only airliner...

So very French. Has hints of Citroen DS about it...

Apparently that S-duct arrangement was a bitch for maintenance.

Ah, makes sense although I can’t imagine any third engine being particularly easy to service...
