The world's sexiest aircraft

[Hawkeye4077]

in my opinion it would have to be the Su-27

http://images.airliners.net/photos/middle/3/4/2/948243.jpg

more pics i found of the Su-27 here (http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?&aircraft_genericsearch=Other%7CSukhoi%7CSu-47%20Berkut%20%28S-37%29&keywords=su-27&keywrange=all&nr_of_rows=1441&first_this_page=0&page_limit=15&sort_order=photo_id+DESC&nr_pages=97&engine_version=6.0&page=;;)

any other opinions to what you think is the worlds sexiest aircraft?

With all due respect to the Su-27 and 47 (which look very sleek and nice), and the F-4 (which is so ugly, you have to love it), the best looking jet aircraft has got to be the Hawker Hunter. Everything about it screams pure class.

Also the Spitfire, Corsair, Mustang, and the Thunderbolt I and II

What's the differnce between the TU-160 and the B1?


Well, simply, the TU-160 is **** compared to the B-1B.
It was a copy of the B-1 commisioned by the USSR in order to have a long range inter-continental bomber that they had been looking for. It wasn't too successful though.... The Soviet Union's jet engine technology was far behind that of the United States, so they poured their resources into the TU-95 Bear, which, while slower, gave the USSR it's long range capability.


Anyway, my pick for fighter/interceptor: F/A-22A Raptor
Fighter/Bomber: F-35 JSF
Bomber: B-1B Lancer or B-2 Spirit
Helo: RAH-66 Comanche or AH-64D Apache Longbow

I didn't realize the Tu-160 is **** compared to the B-1B. I guess it must be because the B-1B can do Mach 2 and fly at that speed intercontinentally and unrefueled and carry larger payloads, isn't it?

So, you're saying they weren't too successful with the Tu-160 because it was a copy and its NK-32 jet engines sucked, right? And that is why they concentrated on making the Tu-95? Gotcha! Thanks!


P.S. Those untermenchen Russians suck at everything they do, don't they?

What's the differnce between the TU-160 and the B1?
tu-160 is bigger its engines are 2x or even 3x times more powerfull, it can deliver bigger payload, it can sustain mach2 for long time... its similiar looking only.

I've seen loads of these pictures with military jets "braking the sound barrier"..

But Im pretty sure this A380 aint going supersonic (since I havent heard of any crashes with it yet, which would probably be the natural explanation)

So, what's happening in this picture? whats the phenomen called?

[artistoli]

http://www.millenniumsend.net/downloads/images/phhunter1.jpg

I agree! The Hunter will certainly take some beating in the sexiness stakes!

[B25Hmitchell]

Something to do with Dew Point and compressibility and rapid change of air pressure. Not always associated with breaking the sound barrier.

F-14 CONDENSATION CLOUD IN ACTION
The image at the right is a screen cap of the widely distributed mpeg fs14ss.mpg. This mpeg shows an F-14 generating condensation clouds during a transonic flyby over water. The full explanation of the physics behind the cloud formation can be found in the main Prandtl-Glauert condensation page or my tutorial on Prandtl Glauert condenation clouds.
There are several features of interest in this short mpeg. The most obvious is that the cloud forms, vanishes, and then reappears. A simple explanation could be that the pilot varied the throttle, perhaps unintentionally, resulting in a short slowdown of the aircraft.

An explanation which involves the physics is based on the idea that the cloud formation can cause changes in the lift and drag on the aircraft. In fact, Professor Schnerr at the Universität Karlsruhe (now at Technische Universität München) has shown that the lift and drag coefficients can undergo large variations due to the condensation. These scientific results are consistent with the anecdotal evidence provided by pilots who report considerable banging and bumping when large clouds are formed. This is over and above the buffeting familiar to fighter pilots as they enter the transonic regime without condensation. The disappearance of the cloud may just be due to a decrease in speed due to the added drag at constant throttle.

A second feature is the fact that the condensation first appears above the aircraft when the cloud reforms (and possibly when it forms). Of course, it is expected that the cloud should first form in the low pressure region which is necessarily above any lifting aircraft. However, the largest pressure perturbations are expected to be very near the aircraft. Hence the lowest pressures and therefore the cloud formation ought to be at the aircraft surface. We can give the usual atmospheric turbulence arguments, but without much conviction. Bob Harrington did point out that there may be flow disturbances generated by the ship which could cause an unanticipated Mach number or pressure distribution. I like this better than the generic turbulence argument.

Another feature is the formation of the condensation cloud over the cockpit. You can see this just after the cloud reforms and just as the aircraft passes the photographer.

But Im pretty sure this A380 aint going supersonic ... So, what's happening in this picture? whats the phenomen called?

Just to add, my understanding of this phenomenon is that its quite simple to explain. The air pressure over the wing drops due to Bernoulli effect (increased velocity, lower pressure) & that what makes the aircraft fly. Under some conditions, this is below the dew point and a cloud forms temporarily in that region where the pressure is below the dew point. I think its almost the same as lenticular clouds.

http://www.entopia.org.za/bitmaps/military/B2-1-s.jpg

Sometime you will see it when an aircraft is banking heavily or and has a low speed, high drag configuration. Also moisture content of air is a factor.

The vertical spikes when an aircraft goes supersonic is the same thing, the condesation is just revealing the areas of low pressure during the transistion

I've seen loads of these pictures with military jets "braking the sound barrier"..

But Im pretty sure this A380 aint going supersonic (since I havent heard of any crashes with it yet, which would probably be the natural explanation)

So, what's happening in this picture? whats the phenomen called?


It is even more amazing to see them in person on the ground. During more than a couple of maintinance ground runs on C5's on grave shift I have seen what we called doughnut clouds around the engine intakes. The coolest part is watching them jump from one engine to the next during power up/down.

As for my choice of the sexiest aircraft, you guessed it guys... http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d59/crewdog9023/c5103.jpg

If your plane can't get on her knees and take it from both ends I want nothing to do with her. As the saying goes fat one's do try harder.

Nice paint jobs on those Canadian F18's btw

Sorry, bit of a miscommunication there. That's the De Havilland Comet airliner which I believe was the DH 106. The DH 88 Comet was a twin prop long distance racer from 1934.

F-82 Twin Mustang

The F-82 was the last propeller-driven fighter acquired in quantity by the USAF. It appears to be two Mustang fuselages on one wing, but in reality it was a totally new design. Its purpose was to provide a fighter carrying a pilot and co-pilot/navigator to reduce fatigue on long-range bomber ecsort missions. Delivery from production did not begin until early 1946, too late for WW II. After WW II, radar-equipped F-82s were used quite extensively by the Air Defense Command as replacements for the P-61 night fighter.

During the Korean War, Japan-based F-82s were among the first USAF aircraft to operate over Korea. The first three North Korean airplanes destroyed by U.S. forces were shot down by all-weather F-82G interceptors on June 27, 1950.

Other ac that i think are hot are pritty much The F-14 F-15 F-16 F-18A-F, The A-4 is hot as hell, The A-10 people say are ugly but I love them becuase of what they can do plus i think they are hot, The F-22 is a sweet bird I just think it has all the right lines, the F-23 would have been sweet. Lets see what else the AV-8B+ is oh so sweet. The whole Su-27 family give me a hard on. Mirage 2000 those are Super dooper.

For older birds there is somthing about the old WWII fighters that are just stunning, mabey its the fact that its the pinical of pistion ac.
The korian war era fighters are really awsome, i mean come on the F-86 F-80 the Mig-15... Wow
I love F-101 Voodoo's too, and F-104's too.

It's an Aermacchi MB-339 - nobody denies - but I think Oneto15 (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/member.php?u=28716) was answering to AFACadet (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/member.php?u=2456) who said that he would pay a dollar to anyone who comes up with a sexier training aircraft than the T-38.

In my opinion it is Brewster Buffalo:

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8065/finland3sm1.png (http://imageshack.us)

US navys first monoplane. In their use it was called "flying coffin" and navy wanted to get rid of it. When it entered finnish use, it was called gentlemens airplane. With these 44 planes, 432 enemy planes was shot down. One of these planes, BW-393, was credited with 41 kills in total, possibly making it the fighter aircraft with the greatest number of victories in the history of air warfare.

the dutch used them in the east indies, not to much avail, the japanese new how to get rid of them easy....

[PEMM]

Reputation in US navy came because they tried to fight japanese planes with WWI style dogfight, it wasnt actually planes fault.

[Forrester]

for the start of wwII itwas a good plane, but slightly underpowered and sluggish didn't do well against zero's and zekes, and I guess it wouldn't do well to more modern versions of the me109
Most planes downed in one day was when the german invaded Holland, they met our 40mm bofors flak cannon, which is still used today (exept now it is radar guided) we downed most of the german air transport fleet moving paratroopers in, off course we let most of the germans get out first.... (bit too polite eh?)rofl

[PEMM]

Finns used the plane 1941-1945. Messerschmitt bf 109 was also in finnish use, gained 667 air victories, while losing 34. But in my opinion score of brewster is more amazing.

feck me, one picture of each would have sufficed!

realy? so I must add much more pictures, do you want to see pictures of each types and versions of Zlins 26,126, 226, 326, 526 and 726 for sure? And from each country around the world, where the Zlins are used (about 70 countries)? So I would make special thread about that...:)

:cantbeli:THE MARUT OR HINDUSTAN AERONAUTICS HF-24

India's first indigenous fighter, built by HAL and designed by Prof Kurt Tank of Focke-Wulf fame. The aircraft first flew in 1964 and was in service till the mid-80s. a piece of history the aircraft was and will remain forever in my humble opinion a beautiful bird.

What kind of F-16 is that ? What`s on the sides of it ?

[the dutch egg]

It's an f-16I from the ireali airforce, they upgraded the f-16's they have for what I heard to be able to strike deep in Iran/Seria. Hence the extra feul tanks on the side of the hull.

volvo's are safe but they dont win no beauty contests. this on the other hand, power is sexy.

[matthew.manhorn]

sexiest
propeller: ME-109 / Mustang
single engine jet fighter: Mig-23
twin engine jet fighter: SU-27
strategic bomber: TU-95 due to its sexy turboprops

ugliest
propeller: spitfire, i just don't like its round wings
single engine jet fighter: f-16, it reminds me of a Porsche Boxster! Which is for whiny pro-western countries like Taiwan who can't afford real American aircrafts like F-15 (Porsche Carrera) but still wants to buy cheap American planes/F-16 (Boxster) in order to showoff!
twin engine jet fighter: SU-47, it's simply ugly
strategic bomber: dunno

[Clave]

Spitfires are not ugly! :bash:
