The world's most beautiful jet aeroplane?

I have to agree with Hubert on this one. After the Concorde, the Connie, and for it’s day, the 262. Without a doubt the B-58 has a place here too.

I’ll never forget my flight on Concorde in 1986. Pure magic.

Cheers, Wolf

ah yes, the Connie ! I do love the looks of her.....harv

Absolutely Harv, extremely elegant lines for a prop liner. From the tip of the nose, the arched fuselage, to the triple tail vertical stabs, she was one sharp lookin’ lady!

Cheers, Wolf

You either hate it, or love this one, for me it's the latter, even after they added all those refuelling pods and Küchemann carrot bulges on the wings.

Taste differs :D, but I have to say, that the air intakes are a piece of art, the rest, ...

I do have some odd tastes in aircraft, but I doubt many will argue my choices.   The first is easily one of the most elegant designs ever to take flight, and the second is the most beautiful subsonic airliner ever to take flight. Like a VC-10, but just a bit more balanced.

I’d also mention the Mug-29, but Martin beat me to it.

Yes wing root intakes, must be a pain to build, but they look so streamlined and still futuristic. There are some on Facebook making 1/48 3d laser print builds of various V-Bombers, and showing their work at https://www.facebook.com/groups/vulcanvictorvaliant/

If anyone is into 3d printing I have a great model I commissioned from Milviz https://milviz.com/flight/index.php
it was not built for any flight sim, we could not get anyone into a cockpit back in 2010, and the model did get used in a 2011 publication front cover by Andrew Brookes. (The 3D model copy I have is in .FBX, .max, .DAE .c4d )
