Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 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? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 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 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Have to pick Concorde, but if we are looking at Military aircraft then the Hawker Hunter would be my choice. Cheers Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 IMHO, the last 20 years on my 40 year aviation career was spent making these beauties! Barry 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 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' 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 For me, it's a three-way tie. B-58, F-14, SR-71 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 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! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Concorde was a lovely aeroplane. We probably need a delta wing thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 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".

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Gotta love the Dassault Independence day photo above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
