Ugliest Plane

[PhilDernerJr]

Wow. Dima, I'm honestly surprised that anyone would dislike the 757.

Though I knew it would rank, I'm shocked that the A380 seems to be the winner, or loser rather, as the ugliest plane.

Hey Dima - You sure we're talking about the same 757? Hairdryers? The 752 has one of the best power-to-weight ratios for both PW & RR engines, but especially with the RB211-535E4. I've never had a takeoff in a 757 (-200 or -300) where I wasn't pushed into the seat by the G-force...

Now when you talk about hairdryers, the A343 comes to mind. It could take one of the top 5 ugly plane titles, but I think the A346 is an improvement.

common, who voted for the A330? That is a work of art!
Also, why is 742 on the list, that is a great classic airliner. I would vote for a 737 (all except of -100 or -200) Then, maybe the 767, which got my vote.

of the choices listed i voted for the 767-300, to me its a plain plane

but personaly the yak 42 and bac 1-11 are the ugliest to me

Yea, like I said, I like flying on those, but hate looking at them :roll:

Where is the 727, 737, 757(which has a VERRY unique nose)?

Stuart if you dare say the 727 is ugly you will be banned for life from all aviation sites on the web! The 727 is simply breathtaking! The lines in her wings when her flaps are extended! OMG super sexy!

I have to go with the A320...there's just nothing nice looking about her.[/quote:d54fc]

I agree with Tommy. For this list its the A320. While the A319 is balanced, almost a modern day jet version of the old civil convair props in relative size of their contemporaries, the A320 is just an ugly duckling with that extra bit of fuselage length.

As for Boeing, the 767 is certainly boring in most color schemes.

The A380 is really ugly, but the 747 is trailing close
