The world's most beautiful jet aeroplane?

[Sir Desmond Glazebrook]

Hi guys.

I have a soft spot for Dassault designs. However, I find it difficult to choose.....

What is, to your eyes the most beautiful jet aeroplane?

Concorde

I was going to say Concorde as well but Smitty has thrown up a very valid option. 

Decisions, decisions.

XB-70 Valkyrie followed by B-1B

English Electric Canberra

Wrecked or not, Starfighter it is to me. Only small wings attached to separate it from a rocket, pure and undisturbed lines. There is only little material added to the powerful engine, an icon.

Cheers Rob

Have to pick Concorde, but if we are looking at Military aircraft then the Hawker Hunter would be my choice.

IMHO, the last 20 years on my 40 year aviation career was spent making these beauties!

I'll go the VC10 tankers. All the engines at the back just made the fuselage and wing lines so sleek.

Pity it was so useless at it's 'day job'

The Sepecat Jaguar Gr. Series... beautiful airplane!

For me, it's a three-way tie. B-58, F-14, SR-71

[Sir Desmond Glazebrook]

I am torn between 3.

Dassault Rafale, Dassault Super Etendard, Hawker Hunter.

If pressed I would say Rafale, Hunter, Super Etendard. 

Shout out to the Yak 130 and Su-33.

I am going to say something crazy here. I really think the C-17 is a beautiful aircraft. Having been up close to many, when you see how they are built and the lines on that aircraft. For a big girl...yowza!

[Jager]

XB-70

Concorde was a lovely aeroplane. We probably need a delta wing thread.

I'm extremely partial to Dassault aircraft.   Over half my total flight time is in them and they are simply pure elegance and beauty in my opinion.   Marcel Dassault is quoted as saying "For any aircraft to fly right, it must be beautiful".  They are and they do.  If you ever want to see why Falcons are as amazing as they are, YouTube "Falcon 50 high mach flight".
