The Extra EA-400

Answer 3

The Avro Bison was pretty ugly. Not only that, it was slow.

That Jabirus is REALLY ugly.

Answer 4

Everyone got a thumbs up from me--all were just ugly and I just had to wonder if the aircraft designers were smoking a bong and ecstasy and were drunk when they designed them ugly aircrafts!!!  Man alive, no one couldn't marry aesthetics with function?  

My hats go off to the Spruce Goose that Howard Hughes designed.  Just ugly and could barely fly!!!!

Answer 5

i dont like those chinese MiG 21 crossovers with side engine intakes.

And they are just poor copies after all.

and the MiG 21 precedessor, the Mig 19 experimental with side intakes was pretty ugly, too.

Answer 6

Just as there is no such thing as an ugly woman, there is no such thing as an ugly airplane--only more and less beautiful ones.

My vote for the ugl...I mean, least beautiful airplane is the Blohm und Voss BV-141 built in Germany during WW2.

Answer 9

I nominate the Messerschmitt Me 323 "Gigant" was a German transport aircraft of World War II. It was a powered variant of the Me 321 glider. The Me 323 was the biggest land-based cargo transports of the war with loads brought through 11-ft high doors in the front of the fuselage. A total of 213 are recorded as having been made, a few were converted from the Me 321.
