There's probably some kernal of aviation engineering's version of evolution's natural selection at work here: We tend to trust (and ultimately love) what has kept us alive.

SST Concord, Falcon 50-900 series, Hawker 125 series, and since I was Capt of a B-727......Boeing 727.

When I was in college trying to become an aerospace engineer, long before I knew there was a Bugatti, I sketched up my perfect aerodynamic airplane. I was very surprised, except for using the Spitfires eliptical wing and a pusher prop, I drew something that looked very much like this beautiful racer.

Since you're using anthropomorphism to the Connie, you do know why it was removed from service don't you?


Three pieces of tail was too much for any one man to handle.:D

RE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES
 

Yes, gotta agree... the HS125 is a beauty.. in 1980I was 16 years old whenI saw one at an airshow in Sydney, Australia, when it took off I was in awe of its power and beauty..

2009-2011 I flew 1000 hours on this one http://www.airliners.net/search/phot...gsearch=VH-ACE

Love the 727 also..

RE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES
 

Three pieces of tail... lol Actually... just too expensive!
Hey Neddy191, I'm partial to Golden Age and love Aeroncas. Too bad the LC isn't painted properly in photo. Paul Matt has excellent 3-views from which to build model. From what aircraft are those 'dragonfly' wings in the background? Look similar to Israel 'Redhead' wings.

RE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES
 

One of my instructors whenI was studying ATPL Theory was an ex Conny Engineer for Qantas.. He said it was the best THREE engined aircraft ever built...

His quote and I can't confirm the accuracy.. is that30% of the time on flights London to Sydney they wouldland with one engine shut down..

I forgot everything else he taught me but I remembered that always..

The F-86 Sabre and the Focke-Wulf 190 are both right up there for me.

RE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES
 

Nice!! I flew one of the early models and got my Type in the old 1A s/n 035 at 22, then my ATP Type at 23 in recurrent. At the time it was 1515E
