A really ugly plane......
« on: November 13, 2011, 12:31:47 PM »
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REQUEST. TBH I would have to be drunk to request this :P

Today I wathced the "Rio" animated movie (that on with that blue macaw; nice story BTW - last male in species + unable to fly + living somewhere in US = species pwn3d? NO! Brasilian ornitologists are to mad to let it happen :P) and in first few minutes of movie I saw this monster. At first I thought it must be a guys' from Blue Sky Studios creation. I was shocked that it really exists.

I present you: Short SC.7 Skyvan



That  is my own impression, hope I don't hurt anyone, but you can't say it's the most beautiful angel you'd ever seen...

Just tell what you think about it. For me it's the ugliest plane I've ever seen - an example of plane for which efficiency is the only factor that matters...

BTW, Blue Sky hit the point with choosing it - it looks like a plane designed for smugglers - small, ugly, with large cargo bay.

A topic like this pops up at every airplane related website I think.  ;D
I've seen quite a few ugly planes but maybe it's better to call them extraordinary or interesting.
I always like the extraordinary planes from Lippisch and Blohm & Voss.

Here an example of an ugly plane. Reminds me of a hydrocephalus or a hunchback.

The epitome of minimal utilitarian aesthetics, but couldn't it be a mini Osprey? Almost?

The Skyvan looks like it really wants to be a glider.
